Located in a beautifully restored shophouse along Kampung Malabar, Cara Caro Cafe has quickly become a favorite for its distinct Bohemian-style gem aesthetic and cozy, plant-filled interiors.
The space is a nostalgic haven, featuring vintage typewriters, rotary phones, and earthy macramé decor that creates a warm, “Instagrammable” backdrop.
The cafe specializes in a heritage shophouse experience, offering a pork-free menu that blends Western brunch favorites like Truffle Mushroom Pasta with local fusion rice sets. Their Signature Apple Pie and freshly baked scones are frequently cited as must-try items, often paired with their fragrant Rose Latte.
While the atmosphere is generally relaxed, the cafe can get quite packed on weekends due to its proximity to a large private parking lot right next door. For those seeking a quieter environment, the mid-morning on weekdays is the ideal time to settle in with a book or a laptop.
A sister location, “The Garden Cottage,” has also recently opened as a dedicated pet-friendly Garden Cottage extension for those visiting with furry friends.
The cafe is highly regarded for its Bohemian aesthetic and artisanal desserts, particularly the homemade Apple Pie, Tarts, and their signature Rose Latte.
Visitors can conveniently use the large private parking lot located directly adjacent to the cafe on Kampung Malabar. Street parking is also available along nearby Lebuh Cintra.
The cafe maintains a quiet and relaxing atmosphere on weekdays, making it suitable for reading or casual work. However, it becomes quite lively and crowded on weekends.
While walk-ins are the norm, reservations can be made by contacting the café directly at 04-226 2665, which is recommended for larger groups or weekend visits.
The cafe offers a fully air-conditioned indoor area with cozy sofa seating, as well as a small outdoor patio area near the entrance for those who prefer natural ventilation.
