Tips for a Better Visit
Use the app. Order ahead in the app for a faster pickup; one review says the first three app orders were 50% off.
Try matcha. If you like matcha, ask about the Matcha Cloud or cheese-foam versions; reviewers also found it smooth and not too sweet.
Explore customisation. Use the tablet or app to compare ingredients and mix-and-match options, especially for unusual coffee combinations.
Plan seating. Treat it as a quick stop if you need a seat: reviews mention four small tables and unavailable chairs during visits.
Try coconut water. For a lighter, refreshing order, consider the iced coconut water matcha, which received a specific recommendation.
Check the coffee. If bitterness matters to you, ask about the coffee profile before ordering; one recent review found the beans unusually bitter.

The Bottom Line
Drinkit Coffee is a compact Business Bay café built around quick, customised ordering and drinks that go beyond a standard latte. Matcha is the strongest theme in the reviews: the Matcha Cloud, cheese-foam matcha, matcha tonic and iced coconut water matcha all get specific praise. Coffee regulars also mention the iced tiramisu latte and experimental tonic espresso.
The app and large self-service tablets make ordering straightforward, with ingredient details, mix-and-match choices and advance pickup. That suits a morning commute or short work break, and one review says the first three app orders received 50% off. Service is often described as fast, friendly and helpful, including staff sorting out a payment-machine problem.
This is a small, modern space rather than a roomy café. One customer counted four small tables, while another could not find a seat after purchasing; indoor and outdoor seating are both mentioned. It can work for a quick meeting or work stop, but do not rely on finding a table at busy times.
Quality feedback is not completely uniform. A reviewer disliked the suspected UHT milk and another found the beans extremely bitter. There is also a report of mosquitoes indoors, so coffee purists or anyone sensitive to that issue may want to take those cautions seriously.
