The Antong Coffee Mill operates from a pre-war shophouse in the old town and has been roasting coffee since 1933 using the same wood-fired drum roasters. This is not a heritage theme park — it is a working mill that still produces and sells coffee by the bag. The roasting process happens daily, and the smell of freshly roasted beans permeates the surrounding street.
You can watch the roasting, buy freshly ground coffee directly from the mill, and sample a cup brewed the old-fashioned way. The coffee is dark, strong, and considerably better than anything sold in a chain. The mill also stocks traditional kaya (coconut jam) and biscuits from local makers. Worth a visit even if you are not a coffee drinker, for the glimpse into an artisanal process that has been continuous for nearly a century.
