Backlane Coffee @ Jonker Street Melaka

The month of October welcomes another new cafe to Malacca! Thanks to my dear friend Gui who introduced me this new cafe, Backlane Coffee. Backlane Coffee located "inside" a souvenir shop ( besides Koong Woh Tong herbal jelly shop), right opposite the Jonker Street main stage. Yes, it is inside a shop so you could hardly see the cafe from the facade :p

This cafe seems like an oasis free from distraction of the busy Jonker Street. The ambience is very welcoming and relaxing with the nice interior set up.

We were quite pleased with both the cake - "Backlane Passion" and macaron. Backlane Passion is with layers of passion fruits cream, chocolate mousse, white chocolate and the tempting caramel glaze. Not too sweet, with a bit of sour taste which was really refreshing. While the chocolate macaron, texture and filling were smooth, though i found it slightly too sweet for my liking.

Backlane Passion RM12.50

Tempting layers :)

Chocolate macaron RM4.50

Beverages wise, nothing much impressive. It looks tempting though for Ice Chocolate float which Gui's ordered. And for the Honey Melon Tea, taste was a bit too mild :(

Iced Chocolate Float RM13.50

Honey Melon Tea RM7.50

Staffs were quite friendly and attentive. They approached me several time just to check whether i need to add any hot water for the tea without me even asked for.

Both us did have a good time here. I believe the cakes here are worth for my second visit, haha.
