PETALING JAYA: It’s a fight to keep the coffee brewing in our local kopitiam or warung – the number of coffee shops nationwide is down by half since the Covid-19 pandemic.

From over 6,600 coffee shops in 2015, the number shrank to 3,279 in 2022, based on data from the Department of Statistics Malaysia.
