Muar plays host to many local factories that produce high-quality coffee. It is renowned throughout Malaysia & globally. Many coffee shops here offer amazing local brews. Coffee is often served with toasted bread (choices of plain or smothered with a generous spread of butter & kaya) & boiled or half-boiled eggs. Sampling coffees with these sides are nutritious ways to start your day. We recommend 434 Coffee Shop which is only 1.2 km walking distance from the hotel.
