Coffee Ink commenced business in October 2013, a 4 years and 6 months old café founded by Zabedee Chiang. Coffee Ink’s location is based in Klang.
The motive of building Coffee Ink lies in the feeling that Klang could be remembered for so much more than just bak kut the and gangsters. Therefore, Zabedee Chiang builds the first proper conceptual café in Klang. Zabedee has the courage to go against the wind to open a coffee shop to be the trend setter for others to follow suit. Zabedee also wants to provide a conducive environment and provide opportunities for the youth to learn more about the coffee culture.
Coffee Ink concentrates its effort on its main products serving coffee, cakes and western dishes. Featured delicacies are premium brew coffee, Belgian chocolate, exotic teas, Mill Crepe cakes and big Benedict's breakfast. Occasionally, cookies and churros are sold. The Belgian is a high quality chocolate beverage as its chocolate ingredients strictly follows traditional Belgian recipe and is laboriously hand-produced. The Belgian is best seller of the cafe which priced at RM13. The Belgian looks like any other ordinary chocolate but after shaving a Belgian chocolate topping, it becomes distinctive. Coffee Ink baristas would shave the Belgian right before your eyes to prove that genuine imported Belgian chocolate is used.

Coffee Ink targets youth and adults aging 15 and above as the crowd is familiar with the coffee culture. The targeted crowd brings in more business as they would involve people around them to indulge themselves in the coffee culture. For example, high school students would invite their friends over to the café to hang out or to have group study sessions. As for adults, they would conduct business meetings or do their work with co-workers in the café. So far the estimated average number of customers is 30 customers per time shift. There are 4 shifts a day, morning, afternoon, evening and night, thus averaging about 120 customers on a good day.
