When it comes to cafés, Penang's got chic interiors and adorable 3D latte art while Ipoh goes old school with vintage stylings and nostalgic snacks. Now, Melaka joins the fold with anything from big breakfasts to fusion dishes in old shoplots steeped in history and heritage.
Serial café hoppers can now indulge in their favourite pasttime in the historic state with our shortlist of the five best cafés in Melaka. The best part is that they're all within walking distance of Jonker Walk so you won't have to stray too far from the tourist action!
Calanthe Art Café
Located in a small alley, Calanthe Art Café delights its customers with coffee from all 13 states of Malaysia. Popular with locals and tourists alike, the décor evokes a beach theme with pebbled floors and wooden boardwalks.
Our order of the Johor kopi 'o' (black coffee, RM3.95) was thick and dark. Made from Liberica beans roasted without sugar, it was mildly bitter and went down smooth.
It's hard to just pick one out of 13 types of coffee so why not make it a challenge to try all!
If you're slightly more adventurous, delve into the art of coffee with the Eunice (RM10.25). A mix of jasmine tea and coffee, it struck the perfect balance between the two pleasantly bitter drinks.
Bits of cincau jelly at the bottom made for a pleasant bite
You can pair your coffee with Calanthe's mean kaya butter toast (RM3.25) where crisp, fluffy bread sandwiches a thick slab of butter. Full meals are available too, like their Nyonya laksa.
We had to hold ourselves back from devouring a few more slices of Calanthe's kaya butter toast
