A walk around Kuching's Old Bazaar does not need to end with another generic café stop. At No. 87, Ewe Hai Street, Black Bean Coffee & Tea Co. gives the coffee itself a local connection: Sarawak-grown Liberica, alongside Robusta and other beans. I would put this on a daytime Chinatown wander rather than save it for an after-dinner drink. [image: 1793226953563-4.jpg] Google Map / Black Bean Coffee & Tea Co. Coffee at Black Bean. A roastery story behind the small shop Black Bean's story goes back to 2001. Founders Madam Han and Mr Chang built the business around personally roasting coffee and training its baristas. That matters more here than a long list of café decorations: this is a Sarawak roastery with a shop where you can explore what goes into the cup. The roasting operation is based at the company's Tabuan Jaya headquarters. Do not confuse that with the Ewe Hai Street counter, or assume that the larger La Promenade outlet's food menu and opening hours apply to this Old Bazaar stop. For a visitor on foot, the useful choice is the central location and the chance to make local coffee part of the walk. Start with the bean, then choose the drink I would begin by asking which Sarawak Liberica option is available that day. If you prefer milk and sweetness, the gula apong latte brings together Sarawak Liberica, Robusta and local palm sugar. It is a different starting point from ordering a familiar imported single-origin coffee; Black Bean offers those too, so tell the staff whether your priority is exploring local beans or sticking with your usual style. For a coffee-focused stop, keep the order simple and leave room for the rest of your Old Bazaar food walk. There is no need to turn it into a full brunch itinerary. If you want beans to take home, ask about the roast and the grind for your own brewing method rather than choosing only by the bag's appearance. Drink prices and available beans should be checked at the counter. [image: 1793226953846-5.jpg] Google Map / Black Bean Coffee & Tea Co. The No. 87 entrance on Ewe Hai Street. Make it a daytime stop The Ewe Hai Street shop is a daytime operation, generally around 9am–6pm Monday to Saturday and closed on Sunday. Recheck before making a special trip, especially on public holidays. I would fit it before an afternoon walk towards the Waterfront, not build an evening plan around it. This recommendation is for the No. 87 shop, not another Black Bean branch. Address: 87, Jalan Ewe Hai, 93000 Kuching, Sarawak. Black Bean Coffee & Tea Co. — Google Maps
