Sri Mersing Cafe is a gem. An original Kopi Tiam (Chinese coffee shop) located in Mersing where fresh coffee and baked goods are served hot, along with the buzz of deals being made and local news being discussed by its patrons. Its frequented by everyone in town; Malay, Chinese and Indian, a truly Malaysian place ! Its clean and has been around for over 25+ years.The coffee is roasted fresh on the premises, and is served strong. The baked goods are made at the shop and include breads, cakes and local pastries. Try the Kaya toast ( with or without butter , spread on a bun or a slice of thick toast). Have this along with a two soft boiled eggs and it will bring back memories or make new ones.
I'm still getting the hang of ordering the coffee since like most Malaysian restaurants, tea and coffee are served complete with milk and sugar. To have it plain you have to learn how to order it minus the extras.Kopi = Coffee with sweet condensed milk (on the bottom)
Kopi O = Black with sugar ( the 'O' omits the milk )
Kopi O Kosong = Black without sugar ( the Kosong omits the sugar )
Kopi C Kosong = Coffee with milk but no sugar.
When you're there try taking home a loaf of home baked bread; each slice is almost twice as thick as the ones you get from commercial bakeries and delicious with their Kaya.Also try their egg tarts and pineapple pie.

Sri Mersing Cafe always remind me of my teenage years when I used to hang out in the afternoon for teh peng or coke float before heading to my sports practice.. that was in 1978....
Everytime I drove pass the cafeI can still smell the aroma of the cake and coffee and it just triggers the memory..30 years ago
Love that place..too bad the Pak Ali restoran and he bazaar across the street had been demolished!
may i know where exactly it is connected? i search the whole mersing but i could not find it
@xiaoyun: The cafe is situated by the river in Mersing Town. The easiest way to get there is to head to the major roundabout in Mersing town. If you follow the roundabout around, you'll see a Public Bank at one of it's junction. Take that junction, go along the road, and you'll see the cafe at your right hand side after a few other shops.
Wow! I just stumbled upon this cool Mersing blog! I am Singaporean but have been visiting Mersing since I was a baby as I have many relatives there. And I just came back yesterday!
