Yeo Hiap Seng Water Chestnut Coffee?! Foshan's Corner Coffee Collaborates with Heritage Beverage Factory!!

What's it like to combine a coffee shop with a beverage factory?

Foshan's local coffee brand Gotlot (Corner Coffee) teamed up with the Yeo's factory to transform a 500m² beverage workshop site, merging a production space full of old industrial charm with a coffee shop — breathing new life into the old factory building~

A Legacy of Beverages

Yeo's was founded in 1900. For friends from the southern regions, Singapore, and Malaysia, Yeo's sugarcane juice, water chestnut cooler, herbal cooler, and black soy milk are filled with childhood memories.

Gotlot (Corner Coffee) was established in 2017. From pushing a coffee cart to sell pour-over coffee in a corner of a bookstore, to building this dream collaboration with Yeo's, Gotlot now has over 10 stores~

Preserving Industrial Heritage

The shop retains the beverage production line from the 80s and 90s. Beverage filling machines, capping machines, conveyor belts, packing machines — every corner tells the story of the factory's former hustle and bustle.

Innovative Beverage Creations

Beyond seamlessly integrating the coffee bar with the production line, Gotlot also combines Yeo's classic beverages with coffee, launching the "Corner Water Chestnut Cooler" and the "Corner Aloe Vera Cooler."

There are also Gotlot's signature Yuanyang (coffee + milk tea) special blends: "Yuanyang Amber Red," "Yuanyang Yellow Meimei," "Yuanyang Coconut White," and "Yuanyang Black Zuo Zuo."

"Corner Aloe Vera Cooler"

Stir well before drinking! Stir well before drinking! Stir well before drinking!

Coffee paired with aloe vera bits is truly refreshing!!!!!

"Corner Water Chestnut Cooler"

Silky, rich Yuanyang coffee paired with water chestnut bits and water chestnut jelly creates an incredibly layered texture!!!!!

"Yuanyang Yellow Meimei"🌶️

Millet chili + pineapple juice + coconut water + coffee

Wow! Seriously! That texture! One sip will absolutely jolt you awake!

It's spicy! Spicy! Spicy!

Signature Coffee Offerings

"Yuanyang Amber Red"

The tea base is very strong, and the coffee is equally intense. Paired with black soy milk (I think), the entire drink spells "RICH" in capital letters!

"Small Orange Blend Americano"

Made with a blend of Colombian and Ethiopian beans, this Americano is refreshing and cuts through richness. The gentle acidity carries nutty notes, with a slight smoky sensation in its full body~

Christmas Atmosphere

Timed to the Christmas season, the shop has set out many small holiday decorations, including a brick-built Christmas tree 🎄 (industrial, eco-friendly, and beautiful!).

They even thoughtfully put Christmas hats on the bottled drinks (decorative) riding the conveyor belt — so adorable, ahhhhh!

Besides the indoor area, the "factory" also features a large outdoor dining area. Among the outdoor displays are "retired" handling robotic arms, quietly telling stories of the factory's past~

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

Inspired to brew something bright and fruity at home? Here are three pour-over picks for a V60:

FrontStreet Yirgacheffe Worka (Guodingding) — the classic Ethiopian introduction: bright citrus, berries, and florals with a green-tea-like sweet finish. Gentle, fruit-like acidity that's easy for anyone to enjoy.

FrontStreet Ethiopia Huakui — packed with tropical fruit aromas of strawberry, passion fruit, jackfruit, and lychee. Sweet, juicy, and almost bitter-free — famously "the coffee that doesn't taste like coffee."

FrontStreet Kenya Cherry Tomato — a washed Kenyan from the Thika region (grown at 1,550-1,750 meters, SL28 and SL34 varieties, 72-hour double-wash fermentation) bursting with cherry tomato and dried plum acidity, full juice-like body, yellow sugar sweetness, and a clean, lasting finish. For lovers of bright, complex fruit.
