A swinging recorded soundtrack of jazz and classic pop keeps the beers flowing at this traveller magnet. The first cafe to open on Jonker St (in 1999), it's a true Melaka institution. Strewn with greenery, the interior is attractive and comfortable, making it a great choice at any time of the day. It hosts live music at night Thursday to Sunday.
