Here, visitors can enjoy Vietnamese specialities like egg coffee in independent cafés set in wooden houses and gardens. Ipoh, Malaysia, offers a café-hopping experience in its old town, with restored shophouses serving white coffee and pastries amidst heritage streets and cave temples.

Jeju in South Korea combines dramatic coastlines with a creative café culture, offering unique local flavours in cafés set against volcanic landscapes. Bali, Indonesia, invites travellers to its highlands to witness coffee processing and taste local flavours such as coconut and avocado in serene garden cafés.

Hualien, Taiwan, pairs Pacific scenery with a burgeoning café scene, serving Taiwanese beans in relaxed neighbourhood spots. Chiang Rai, Thailand, blends coffee farms with contemporary cafés, allowing visitors to experience northern Thai traditions and local art.
