If you're looking for a clean, sleek, and minimalist space to enjoy your brew for the day, head to Cold Blue Specialty Coffee along Jalan Tun Sambanthan. Its space is simple with an all-white interior and even has a micro roastery within its space, sealing its status as one of the most Instagrammable cafés in Ipoh.

Don't miss any of its filter coffees, croffles, or bagels while there and make sure to pick up a bag of beans on your way out too.

Despite being named the Malay word for ‘secret’, Rahsia should not be kept from any coffee aficionado’s radar. This humble and quaint café serves some of the best cuppas in Ipoh, including its Jingga (salted caramel latte), Debu (charcoal latte), Madu (Tualang honey latte), and Putih (latte). 

For those who aren't into coffee, order its Semesta, a butterfly pea tea with freshly squeezed lemon.  

A mainstay on the local coffee scene, Jln Theatre Coffee is a must-visit for any coffee fiends looking for their fix in Ipoh. Aside from its delicious food, such as the truffle aglio olio and Golden Chicken croffle, its menu also details an impressive list of filter coffee options with beans from Ethiopia to El Salvador. 

It also offers bottled cold brews, both black and white, for those who need a cuppa on the go and tea and chocolate drinks for the non-coffee drinking crowd. 

This hidden café only serves coffee, so you know it means business when it comes to brews. Founded by a group of coffee lovers who became baristas and roasters, Alternative Coffee aims to bring the best quality coffees to their guests, while ensuring everyone involved in the coffee making process, including farmers, benefit from it. 

Alternative Coffee doesn't just serve great cups of coffee, it also offers café consulting, coffee roasting, barista training, and beans on retail.
