Melaka Drinks: Coconut Shake, Kopi and 5 Places to Try
Melaka drinks are about two things: the coconut shake, blended from young coconut and ice cream, which the stalls at Klebang made famous, and the strong local kopi of the Hainanese coffee shops in the old town of the city also spelled Malacca.
This guide covers 5 Melaka drink stops, each confirmed from its own Instagram or Facebook page or the Tourism Melaka food listing in October 2026. Prices are in Malaysian Ringgit (RM); none of them publishes a price list online. This page does not cover alcohol: beer and cocktails are in our Melaka bars guide.
Espresso-led cafes are in the Melaka cafes guide, and cendol and other desserts in the Melaka desserts guide.

Coconut Shake in Melaka
The two coconut shake stops that Tourism Melaka names are both outside the old town, so plan a car or Grab ride.
Klebang Original Coconut Shake
Klebang Original Coconut Shake is one of the best-known coconut shake stalls in Melaka; the drink is young coconut water and flesh blended with ice cream. Tourism Melaka lists it on Jalan Klebang Besar, on the coast road west of the city, and it is run by Shafie bin Ahmad.
Its posted hours are 11 am to 6:30 pm daily, opening at 2:30 pm on Fridays, and it closes when needed. Those hours come from its own social media profile, which is not updated often, so check before a special trip. It is about 15 minutes by car from the old town. Phone 013-399 4061.
Coconut Shake Batu Berendam
Coconut Shake Batu Berendam is the second coconut shake stop that Tourism Melaka names, in Taman Cergas, Batu Berendam, north of the city near the airport. As well as the coconut shake it sells a mango (pelam) shake and runs a food truck, and its Facebook page was active in October 2026.
Hours are not published, so call or WhatsApp first: 019-684 1270 or 016-889 7546. It pairs with Mango Float Royale in nearby Sungai Putat (see our Melaka desserts guide).
Kopi and Local Coffee: Melaka Drinks in the Old Town
Three places in and near the heritage core for local coffee.
Calanthe Art Cafe
Calanthe Art Cafe serves coffee from each of Malaysia's 13 states, so you can compare a Sabah or Johor brew with Melaka's own kopi in one sitting. It is a few steps from Jonker Street, and Tourism Melaka lists it among the old-town cafes.
It opens from 8:30 am to 10 pm Monday to Thursday and from 8 am to 11 pm Friday to Sunday, longer than most cafes nearby. Phone 06-292 2960.
Long Hiang Coffee Shop
Long Hiang is a Hainanese coffee shop known for its kopi and tea, served with kaya toast (roti bakar) and half-boiled eggs, the standard kopitiam breakfast. It also sells duck noodles and wantan mee. Its Facebook page was active in October 2026.
It is on Jalan Laksamana Cheng Ho, east of Bukit China. Kopitiams like this open early and often close by early afternoon, so go in the morning and check the day before.
Kopi Harian
Kopi Harian ("daily coffee" in Malay) is a small kopi and toast shop on Jonker Street from the team behind The Daily Fix. It serves Malaysian food and desserts and calls itself the maker of the "Ori Mochi toast". It was posting new items on Instagram in September 2026.
Hours are not published, so check before you go. It is at the river end of Jonker Street, near the Jonker Walk bridge.
Tips for Melaka drinks
Ordering kopi
Kopi comes with sweetened condensed milk unless you ask otherwise. Kopi O is black with sugar, kopi C has evaporated milk and sugar, and adding "kosong" means no sugar.
Coconut shake timing
The Klebang stall posts a later Friday opening, at 2:30 pm, and both coconut shake stalls may close early on some days. Go in the afternoon from Saturday to Thursday.
Halal
Klebang Original Coconut Shake is Muslim-run. We found no halal certificate for the other places on this page, so ask at the counter.
