Tampines 1’s Kopitiam outlet has shuttered after 15 years of operations.
The food court has a history that dates back to 2009 — the same year the mall first welcomed shoppers.

It used to be called Kapitans by Kopitiam.
Following the closure, a new food hall concept will take its place in the second half of 2024.
The I Love Tampines Facebook page first shared the news of Kopitiam’s closure on 28 Feb.
Its last day of business was on 31 March.

On 1 April, the page shared another post confirming that Kopitiam had ceased operations for good.
Affirming it as an “end of an era”, I Love Tampines shared that all its stalls will be leaving the premises.
Some of them have already relocated elsewhere, such as:
The fish soup stall will also be relocating to Block 258 Geylang Lorong 12.
Currently, the page is seeking information as to where the Yong Tau Foo and Korean/Japanese stalls are shifting.
Ahead of its closure, a notice was displayed at Kopitiam Tampines 1 thanking customers for their patronage over the years.
The sign also directed diners to the closest Kopitiam outlet at the nearby Tampines Mall.

In May last year, Tampines 1 began undergoing renovation and upgrading works valued at S$38 million.
After the works are complete, shoppers can look forward to new F&B offerings such as Greendot, Tiong Bahru Bakery, and An Acai Affair.
