Earthlings Coffee Workshop

Established in 2012, Earthlings Coffee Workshop is one of the older establishments on this list that has made a name for itself in Kuching. For one, the team behind Earthlings are master coffeologists and certified professionals who are constantly running conferences, workshops, and classes for aspiring baristas. So it’s not an understatement to say that they brew a mean cup of coffee—they even have their own in-house coffee lab for experiments and research. If you appreciate a good brew, Earthlings is definitely worth a visit. While the coffee is the star of this place, the cafe also serves freshly baked pastries and cakes to go with your cuppa. You can also peruse their wholesale products such as coffee beans, hand-brew equipment, and other accessories.
