Yia Coffee Company

Without doubt the best coffee in Kuching. Lovely relaxing atmosphere, very friendly and if you love good coffee, you’ll love this place

What a pleasant surprise to stumble upon Sarawak coffee here. Wanted to try the espresso, avocado milk shake but somehow their avocado is not available. So I've tried the espresso banana milk shake instead, not too bad as I was really hoping to try the avocado version. A few nice seating area with lots of plants. It's lovely!

Quaint little cafe in the middle of this cultural street. From the outside it looks like an old school coffee shop. Once you step inside you will see that it's a nice mix of nostalgia and modern comforts. The result is a very cosy place for you to just chill and hang out with a cup of coffee. The seating arrangement is very good. You have some open air rattan chairs on the sidewalk outosde. Inside there are several small tables with comfy sofa chairs. And there's also a long wooden table that can accommodate larger groups of about 6 to 8 people. Layman's coffee rating: 4/5 Ordered iced cappuccino when I came today. It tastes good to me, but it did not stand out in any way. Digital nomad rating: 5/5 I love that they have a proper 2 person table at the far back corner, which also has a power outlet right next to it. If this table is not available, the long wooden table can also serve as a good solo laptop station for at least 6 people. Excellent place to get some work done especially since the environment is not too busy.

Aromatic coffee along Carpenter street provides a welcoming ambiance This cozy spot is ideal for resting after a leisurely walk The matcha latte is served with a complementary almond cookie Enjoy their beverage while listening to the radio.

Along the bustling Ewe Hai Street in the heart of riverside Kuching is a calm, mildly lit, open-fronted yet muted space that the Yia Company and its warm-spoken tenders retail its proudly Sarawakian beans and serve its exceptional brews and pour-overs. Within this juxtapositious oasis lies a surprising array of seating for a decidedly cosy enclosure, though not surprising in the least is the taste and choice of subtle aesthetic that this space is materialised. Me personally, I make it a point to secure a secluded hour or two at Yia's on its quieter mornings, wherein only the radio jazz and masters' brewery is audible atop the faint whirring of Ewe Hai and the town markets beyond. It contemporarily mirrors the quan ca phe of Vietnam, the cha chaan teng of Hong Kong, or the kissaten of Japan, and of course the local kopitiam, while without the overpresence of a demographic lean or an aesthetic gimmick that so many others are at fault for. Frightfully few of such places exist in Malaysia, and Kuching no doubt ought to treasure the Yia it has.

The ambiance of this Cafe is impeccable! simply unlike any other shops in Kuching. The unique blend of coffee beans are undoubtedly the best representation of coffee pefection. If you want to experience a truely authentic taste of the best local coffee... this is the place. I'd highly recommend anyone who is looking for a place with great coffee made with fresh beans.

Small compound that carries so much serenity in its space. Ample seatings available. Beautiful quaint cafe to enjoy aromatic and house blend coffees. I had their almond coconut flower latte. It was fragrant and has an interesting note of sweetness.

Interestingly, in my many Kuching trips, I missed this cafe. Loved the fact that they feature a selection of local Sarawakian Liberia and some blends. They come form the highlands so they should be good and they really are. Black and iced on a hot day. Can't wait to try the lighter roast versions.
