Best Cafes in Kuantan 2026: 14 Cafes With Hours and Addresses
2026-10-31 · Last updated 2026-10-31 · 6 min read
Kuantan runs late. Of the 14 cafes listed here, most close between 9pm and midnight, and five stay open past 11pm. The town's cafe streets are split between Jalan Besar in the old centre, the shop rows of Air Putih and Seri Kuantan, and the newer commercial blocks out at Bandar Indera Mahkota and Beserah.
This guide is the Kuantan subset of the JomYumcha directory: 33 approved cafes inside Pahang, of which the ones carrying a real address and published hours are below, ordered by recorded demand.
Last updated: 31 October 2026.
How this list was built
The JomYumcha directory lists 33 approved cafes in Pahang as of 31 October 2026, nearly all of them in Kuantan. This guide takes the 14 Kuantan records carrying at least three stored facts — address, published hours, phone, Instagram handle, photo, or must-try item — and orders them by recorded views.
Every opening time below is stored in the directory for that cafe, summarised by day. Every tag is a row the directory holds. Where the week is not published for a day, the guide says so instead of guessing. No ratings appear, because the directory stores none, and these records hold no dish prices or menus, so nothing here claims a signature dish.
One record on this page is incomplete: Pasillo Cafe stores a postcode and no street. It is included because its hours and contact number are real, not because the address is useful.
Jalan Besar and the old centre
MUKA coffee
📍 37, Jalan Besar, 25000 Kuantan · 🕐 Mon–Tue and Thu 10am–11pm, Fri–Sun 9am–11pm, closed Wednesday
MUKA is the most-viewed Kuantan record in the directory and the only one on Jalan Besar whose stored description describes the place rather than just repeating the address. The week is long — 9am to 11pm from Friday to Sunday, 10am to 11pm Monday, Tuesday and Thursday — with Wednesday dark.
4447 Cafe
📍 8, Jalan Besar, 25000 Kuantan · 🕐 Tue–Sun 11am–11pm, closed Monday
4447 is a few doors from MUKA on the same stretch of Jalan Besar, opening an hour later (11am) and running to 11pm, with Monday off. It carries no amenity tags in the directory, so the address and the week are the whole record.
Bluuurgh by Brew & Butter
📍 17, Jalan Besar, 25000 Kuantan · 🕐 Mon–Thu and Sat–Sun 12pm–11pm, Fri 3pm–11pm
The third on this street, and the one with the oddest Friday: it opens at 3pm instead of noon, then runs to 11pm like the rest of the week. Saturday and Sunday return to the noon start.
Air Putih and Seri Kuantan
Reason Coffee
📍 B1440, Jalan Air Putih, Air Putih, 25300 Kuantan · 🕐 Tue–Sun 8am–10.30pm, closed Monday
Reason is tagged quiet and study friendly and wheelchair accessible — the clearest work-cafe signal in Kuantan, and one of only two listings here with a study tag. It opens at 8am Tuesday to Sunday and closes at 10.30pm, with Monday off.
Kyaku Cafe
📍 B-1462, Jalan Air Putih, 25300 Kuantan · 🕐 Tue–Sun 8.30am–11pm, closed Monday
Kyaku sits on the same Air Putih row, half an hour behind Reason in the morning and half an hour later at night: 8.30am to 11pm, Tuesday to Sunday, Monday closed.
Slow Bar by Kopicat
📍 A1112 & A1114, Jalan Alor Akar, Taman Mayfair, 25250 Kuantan · 🕐 Mon 10am–11pm, Tue–Sun 9am–11pm
Slow Bar keeps the longest uniform evening in the set — 9am to 11pm six days, 10am on Monday — and is tagged late night and live music. Two adjoining lots are listed, A1112 and A1114, so the room is bigger than a single shopfront suggests.
GemMica Coffee
📍 Mega Square, B6 Jalan Beserah, Kawasan Perniagaan, 25300 Kuantan · 🕐 daily, 9am–11pm
GemMica runs 9am to 11pm every day of the week, the only fully even long shift on this side of town, and is tagged LGBTQ+ friendly and wheelchair accessible.
Coffee Gallery
📍 A-17, Jalan Sri Kuantan 80, Kuantan Star City, 25250 Kuantan · 🕐 Tue–Sun 9.30am–10.30pm, closed Monday
Out at Star City, Coffee Gallery opens at 9.30am and closes at 10.30pm from Tuesday to Sunday. The phone number on the record is a 03 landline rather than an 09 Kuantan line — worth knowing if you plan to call ahead.
Rasa Sayang Cafe
📍 A25, Jalan Sri Kuantan 80, 25250 Kuantan · 🕐 daily, 10am–9.30pm
Rasa Sayang is the earliest close in this group — 9.30pm, daily, from a 10am start — on the same Star City row as Coffee Gallery.
Beanz & Co.
📍 A892, 2, Lorong Sri Kuantan 42, Perkampungan Seri Kuantan, 25250 Kuantan · 🕐 Mon–Tue and Thu 11.30am–10pm, Fri–Sun 11.30am–11pm, closed Wednesday
Beanz & Co. starts late for a cafe — 11.30am — and runs to 10pm midweek with an extra hour on Friday to Sunday. Wednesday is dark.
Indera Mahkota and the northern blocks
LOCH. Coffee Kuantan
📍 No B12, Jalan IM 7/2, Bandar Indera Mahkota, 25200 Kuantan · 🕐 Mon–Wed and Sun 11am–9pm, Fri–Sat 11am–11pm, closed Thursday
LOCH. is tagged pet friendly and air conditioned, and it is the only Kuantan listing here with a pet tag. The week splits: 11am to 9pm on Monday to Wednesday and Sunday, two hours longer on Friday and Saturday, closed Thursday.
Brew & Cabin
📍 A-37, Lorong IM 15/19, Bandar Indera Mahkota, 25200 Kuantan · 🕐 Mon and Wed–Sun 2.30pm–11.30pm, closed Tuesday
Brew & Cabin is an evening-only room: it opens at 2.30pm and closes at 11.30pm, the latest close in this guide. Outdoor seating is the one recorded tag; Tuesday is closed.
Ruma Sips
📍 Kp 43, Kampung Pahang Sungai Soi, 25150 Kuantan · 🕐 Mon–Wed and Fri–Sun 3pm–11pm, closed Thursday
Ruma Sips starts at 3pm and is tagged late night and live music, with Thursday off. The address is a village lot rather than a shop row, so treat the map pin as more useful than the street name.
Pasillo Cafe
📍 Postcode 33973, Kuantan · 🕐 Tue–Sun 8am–12am, closed Monday
Pasillo publishes the longest day on this page — 8am to midnight, Tuesday to Sunday — but the record's street field is empty and the postcode alone does not locate it. The phone number is stored, so call before driving out.
Before you go
Kuantan's cafes are spread across four clusters several minutes apart by car, and the town keeps later hours than most Malaysian cities of its size: five of the 14 listings here close at 11pm or later, and one at midnight. Monday is the most common closed day, with five records dark.
What the directory does not hold for these cafes: ratings, dish prices, and dish-level menus. Every record here carries an address and a week, which is what this guide prints. If you are picking one cafe for a specific hour, check the row above rather than assuming a Malaysian cafe is open at 3pm on a Thursday.
