Melaka City
Melaka's only true exponent of third-wave coffee, this diminutive cafe in the Kampung Jawa district is associated with the popular Daily Fix in Jonker St but attracts a clientele more interested in the quality of their coffee than the Instagram potential of where they drink it. Settle down with a magazine from the racks upstairs and an espresso or cold brew.
There's also an all-day breakfast (granola, chia pudding, quinoa bowls, eggs; RM17–23) on offer.
