The Makers Fellowship is all about changing the face of Malaysia's indie F&B scene

Baradaran and Lum with some of the makers at a pop-up event.

At The Makers Fellowship pop-up coffee bar, the gorgeous aroma of a fresh brew forms the backdrop for wooden cubbyholes filled with sweet tarts from Ling’s Kitchen, salted caramel, peanut butter, choc mint and raspberry “brookies” (brownie cookies) from September Bakes, and pristine bottles of alkalised This Is Water.

That’s not an unusual scene at many cafes and pop-ups, which source bakes and other items from small makers. What sets this one apart is that The Makers Fellowship puts these makers front and centre, in a bold plan to solidify and drive the indie F&B scene.
