With urban globalisation happening all over the world, the invasion of Coffee Culture from aboard, notably Starbucks and Coffee Bean and Teas, is unavoidable. The good news is local kopitiams have responded to this threat by rebranding themselves; by creating a new identity with a cool interior setting and combine with well trained and well dressed staffs. OldTown White Coffee is just one of them. OldTown also brings back good memory of yesteryears’ kopitiams of the 50s and 60s, which served hot coffee and toast-bread. And in OldTown the traditional way of making coffee by the Malaysian Chinese is well preserved.

Since OldTown White Coffee opened its door for business in late 2007 at City Mall, it has been well received by the KK Lites, especially on the first month when it was opened, OldTown was literally packed every day. These days the euphoria has already calmed down, but OldTown is still very well visited. There is also another branch at 1Borneo Hypermall.
