Very lovely space, a quiet respite from the malacca heat. Cosy & homely space helmed by a dedicated and warm owner. Tiramisu was delicious and home made! coffee was strong and matcha was authentic. The affectionate munchkin cat was definitely the highlight, cosied up to us and was such a delight. Definitely highly recommend you to stop by here for a delicious drink break / cat therapy / or to simply enjoy the slower pace in life.

Cozy little coffee shop tucked away in a street with bars and pubs. They served really good coffee! Tried the ondeh ondeh cheesecake, its different and actually good. There’s a cat inside the cafe as well, and its super friendly, going around the cafe to great people and letting people pet it. The boss is really friendly as well, nice to have a chat with :)

Finally a place in Melaka where the Cappuccino tastes of real coffee and a mean Tiramisu that is drenched in whisky?? and which leaves no room for doubt. Cafe extremism at its finest - for those who can accept nothing less; this is the definitive cafe experience. For a cold drink, the shakerato makes a sense-tingling pleasant alternative.

Love the food and service here! The place is small but somehow it feels so homey. Ordered orange americano and hojicha latte for the drinks and they both taste so goood. For the food we order kaya toast and matcha cheesecake, it tastes beyond our expectation. Their kaya toast is my favorite!

Found this really chill café with amazing coffee. Tried the homemade tiramisù — soft, moist, and absolutely delicious. We also ordered the kaya toast bread - the kaya was also homemade. The owner was super friendly, and we had a great chat. Plus, there’s an adorable orange munchkin who’s so cute and affectionate. The whole place has such a cozy, relaxed vibe — definitely coming back again. Coffee and cats - cant go wrong with this mix.
