Malacca Cafe: The Stolen Cup @ Melaka Old Town (2017)

Update:

The Stolen Cup had moved to a new location along Jonker Street in Melaka Old Town. Do check out the link at the end of this post.

 

The Stolen Cup, a cafe opened in Jan 2017, is located along Jonker Street in Melaka Old Town. It offers a convenient place to get out of the heat, rest and have some coffee when visiting the historical city of Malacca. The little rustic cafe looks like a cup of coffee itself with warm lights and woody furnishings.

Inside The Stolen Cup

The walls are nicely decorated with painted wooden planks, posters and old clocks, giving the cafe a rustic look-and-feel. The cafe plays Bossa Nova in the background.

The Stolen Cup serves some nice coffees with croissants and is a great place for breakfast and afternoon coffee-time. Their barista specialty — Gula Melaka Latte (椰糖咖啡) — is highlighted on a little blackboard outside the cafe. Gula Melaka is the locally produced coconut palm sugar and is a good replacement for sugar with a faint coconuty flavour. Gula Melaka adds nice flavour to the coffees.

 

Toasted and crispy croissant is their main dish with various choices of fillings. It offers another option for breakfast in the old town.

Another specialty of The Stolen Cup is their Curacao coffee. Curacao is a liqueur flavoured with the dried peel of laraha citrus fruit (similar to orange) found in Curaçao, a Dutch Caribbean island. The citrus-flavoured coffee is really unique and I like it a lot.

To have the whole cafe to yourself for taking beautiful photos, go on a weekday.
