Caffe Diem is inspired by the past, built for the future


The China Room is infused with local culture and contemporary arts.

Conservation of heritage buildings not only represents the single most visible aspect of our past history and culture, it also provides a sense of identity and continuity in a fast-changing world for future generations.

This was the reason behind Encomas Sdn Bhd spending 18 painstaking months to restore the beauty and nostalgia of a 120-year-old derelict building and transforming it into the hip and trendy Caffe Diem @ Pekan Cina, the first homegrown third-wave specialty cafe in Alor Setar, Kedah.
