INTRODUCTION

A crofter is the person who occupies and works a small landholding known as a croft. A croft is a small agricultural unit, most of which are situated in the crofting counties in the north of Scotland. Crofting is a traditional social system in Scotland defined by small-scale food production. It is characterised by its common working communities, or “townships...”. Individual crofts are typically established on 2 – 5 ha land and produce lamb, beef and vegetables.

Inspired by this, we at Crofter Café bring in the elements of the crofting community to everyone. We source ingredients as locally as possible; providing you with wholesome food while supporting local individuals and businesses. Crofter Café is a place where the community can come together; sharing life over a cup of coffee and wholesome food.

Keningau's 1st espresso based cafe.

2 hours away from Kota Kinabalu City is the gradually developing district of Keningau. This is the home of Wilson Gan, a local vegetable farmer and also founder of Crofter Cafe, Keningau’s first ever modern cafe. With a beautiful interior coupled with good coffee and yummy pastries, the cafe is truly a hidden gem where locals in Keningau hang out to mingle and enjoy a good coffee session. Its popularity has increased greatly... since its opening 2 years ago that even those from outside of Keningau have came and visited the cafe. A "crofter" is a Scottish farmer who runs a rented farm and these farmers (Wilson being one himself) usually gather at a place to mingle and exchange produce. Thus the name Crofter Cafe. Currently the popular items ordered there are the Cabayero coffee (a double shot espresso that baristas usually have before starting their day) and the much recommended Chocolate Moist Cake. There are also other favourites like the Carrot Cake and Choco Chip Cookies to try out. All of the pastries at Crofter Cafe are from Origo Kitchen, a local famous bakery. So if you ever drop by at Keningau or simply want to try out a new cafe over a free weekend, do drop by at Crofter Cafe.
