Where to chill when you are in Jonker Street Malacca? Check out this rustic themed coffee shop within the Jonker Street area named The Coffee JAR.
A very small sized coffee shop that aimed to serve micro-roasted coffee beans to the locals, accompanied with mural, dry out walls and the coffee roasting machine.

For wholesale, inquire more.

I had the Panama Finca Nuguo Geisha Natural process at the price of RM 30.00 per serving. The bodied of the coffee is quite balance and elegant notes of aroma. However, I think the roasting approach can be further develop longer for more bodied and after taste.

As such, you will walk into the memory lane of the oldies, row of cassette tapes on the shelves. Unsure if they can be play. Most of the tapes are classical Chinese. Very preserved.

I usually don't visit cafe nearby my house due to personal presumption of "things that are generally nearby your house isn't really good" - which is a wrong mindset to have, until one fateful day that I have decided to pay Brew & Bread a good visit.
 Brew & Bread has been operating more than 6 years ago and still counting... 
Today, they are one of the best cafe in Klang Valley that could serve good brunch as well as specialty coffee to the market.

Prior to the visit, I learnt that Brew & Bread was offering their very new single origin (La Campanula - Apaneca Ilamatepec in El Salvador), a bourbon and SL 28 varietals that underwent fully washed and sun-dried process which resulted in vanilla, red apple and almond tea as the tasting experience that you can obtain from this bean. So then I decided to give it a try. It was a clean cup of coffee I would say, light-bodied and citrusy like red apple and gives out a tea-like finishing at the end of your sip.

Little did I know, I was caffeinated by the coffee because of my empty stomach. Thus, to order their food to recover from caffeine sickness as well as to try their food :P
Meet my very own appealing and seductive Chicken Roulade (RM 19.00). Initially I thought it came in a big portion, unfortunately it is not big in my own point of view. I'm a big eater and I am disappointed with this. However, taste wise was pretty good when your chicken thigh rolled with amazing stuffing, coated with white sesame, brown sauce, pumpkin mash and drizzle of olive oil infused with basil and parsley dip.

After my unsatisfying-small-portion-but-taste-good Chicken Roulade, I called for a plate of Prawn Aglio Olio (RM 15.00) to fill the gap in my tummy. One of Brew n Bread's signature dish, as highlighted on their menu. Great plate of pasta in my opinion as their pasta cooked to perfection of al-dente and blends well with the other ingredients such as fresh prawns, hams, sugar peas, wild mushrooms and not to miss out the seasonings.

If wine has many varietals to offer, so does coffee. Here in The HUB, you will get the opportunity to experience vast variety of coffee beans. The owner himself is a coffee fanatic that earned himself a few certifications from the specialty coffee association and now has become one of the best barista cum micro roaster in town. So, the beans that you will be seeing/trying are mostly roasted in-house by the owner himself.
Although the area within has got more than 2 cafes in action, The HUB stands firm in their own identity, objectives and goals - to spread the love of specialty coffee with the local community. May they able to attract potential crowd that has the same passion as them.
"Owner (Nicholas) tend to roasts the beans on him own"
Besides coffee, they also offered few selections of tea and carbonated drinks. Other than that, would be brunch menus, desserts, cakes and pastries.
"pour over or presso-coffeee?"

-Uganda @ RM 12.00
If you are tired of sipping light bodied filtered coffee, then you should try beans from Uganda. It gives medium to heavy bodied with hint of chocolaty and earthiness. Very mild acidity.

-Breakfast @ RM 15.00
Something healthy and light, to pair up with my filtered coffee in the morning! Go for this! A plate of two sunny side-ups, one chicken sausage, salad, a spoonful of red bean and two slices of focaccia bread.

-Salted caramel banana cake @ RM 13.00
Any banana fanatic? Try out their salted caramel banana cake topped with sweet walnut. Love the caramel as it is not too overpowering, which makes it pleasant to eat with the banana cake. Only remark was the texture of the cake was harder than usual cake texture. What do you think?

Fun Fact: One of the cafe that acquired three Mahlkonig  EK 43, each have their very own usage!
After all I was thinking that I should try out their white-coffee and few other food menu on my next visit. Bucket list goes on and on...
Quick recap: 
-More than 30 types of coffee beans to choose // A place where you can get filtered coffee at RM 12 as a starting price, up to RM 30 for the high-end grade.
-Good place to know more about coffee.
-To try out different menu on next visit.
-A good place to conduct self-study/dating/hangout as the environment there is quite still.
-Best visit during weekends for easy parking.

When my friends were wondering what's so great about drinking specialty coffee everyday, I would usually advice them to visit Cream before jumping into any conclusion or simply judging without their sense on. A place that not many will know of and it is one of the best cafe, serving the best specialty coffee in town. Cream is actually under The Roast Things, a company that roast coffee beans. They are known for roasting good grade of specialty coffee and supply the beans throughout the nation.
Cream c/o The Roast Things is situated deep within the corporate area where only the locals will know about this place by heart. So most of the locals within the area are working adults - grabbing the coffee-on-the-go pretty much give them a good energy to move on. For stranger like me, well, gotta catch up with the coffee scandals in order to discover place like this :P


Interior was pretty laid back for me, as I love simple white and grey walls with contemporary furnished wooden furniture around me. Accompany with fresh flower pots stood still beside the windows while slowly indulge a cup of coffee - is the things that I would wake up for, every single morning.
I started my morning in Cream by having a cup of cappuccino. The blend that Cream uses for my cappuccino (applies to all white coffee only) consists of 30% of Guatemala Piedra Azul, 30% of Kenya Kiungu and 40% of El Salvador Vila Galicia, which resulted in a good balance cup of coffee.

"Dream workstation"
"Hand brew / Filtered Coffee of Specialty Coffee"
Knowing that I'm already here in Cream which carries variety of specialty coffee beans, so I decided to increase the damage to my wallet for this filter-coffee :P
//As far as I noticed, most of the cafe in Klang Valley only serve a hot cup of filtered coffee, but here in Cream, they serve one hot and one iced because they want you to taste the coffee in different temperature.
Allowed me to introduce you to Tanzania Kanji Peaberry (washed). This bean characteristic has hint of prunes, black current, canned fruit and it is dense in bodied. To my surprise, this bean is very bright in acidity compared to other beans that I have tried during my past. As for the iced version(right), it reminds me of having a cold brew coffee in Brewmen because it has a similar taste and characteristic that I can never forget of...
It was worth-it to ordered em'.

If you are coffee lover, then this is a must to visit this place as they are providing high grade & quality of specialty coffee for all consumers. Cream also mentioned that they will be hosting various of coffee workshop in the near future to educate the people whom have the same mindset as them. Before I forget, Cream only serve sandwich and cakes, so please do not be disappoint as they have space limitation.
Other than that, watch out for their promotions / shout outs via social media, description below.
