Est. 2019 · Kampung Jawa, Melaka

Coffee. Community.
Creativity.

Locally sourced specialty coffee, handcrafted espresso and filter, and proper cafe food, served in an industrial-minimal space that Melaka's artists, musicians and skaters have made their own.

Our story

More than just a cup of coffee

Kafe Tuju opened in 2019 with a simple idea: build a place where good coffee and good company sit at the same table. We brew with locally sourced beans, pull every espresso by hand, and keep the filter menu turning over with seasonal single origins.

The room is industrial and stripped back on purpose. It leaves space for what actually fills it. Over the years that has meant exhibitions, live sets, skate crews, photographers, students on a deadline, and a Vans collaboration that put a checkerboard wall on our shopfront.

Six days a week we open at 2pm and stay on until midnight. Come for the coffee, stay for whatever happens next.
