Ra-Ft Café / Bistro Arcoris | Coffee Roasters

What Ra-Ft Café / Bistro Arcoris | Coffee Roasters does

Ra-Ft Café is a Malaysian multi-location café, bistro, and in-house coffee roastery founded in 2021 by Italian coffee roaster Filippo. The company operates three retail outlets across the Klang Valley: Binjai 8 Premium Soho in Ampang, the Sierramas outlet in Sungai Buloh which houses the dedicated roasting facility, and Arcoris Plaza in Mont Kiara. Each location functions as a dine-in destination, a collection point for online orders, and a delivery pickup site.

The business is anchored by an in-house coffee roasting operation that processes 100% Arabica green beans sourced from Colombia, El Salvador, Brazil, Indonesia, Tanzania, Guatemala, and additional origins. Founder Filippo individually roasts beans before blending to optimize each bean's flavor profile, producing signature blends RINATO, MIDNIGHT, and FIRSTLIGHT, ten Nespresso-compatible capsule variants, and single-origin offerings from ten countries. Beyond coffee, the company produces fresh handmade pasta (Fettuccine, Ravioli, Gnocchi, Fusilli, Rigatoni, Lasagna sheets), artisanal breads (Sourdough, Focaccia, Ciabatta, English Muffins, Bagels, Gluten-Free, Multi-Grain, Coffee Sourdough), sauces, and cooked dishes such as Beef Lasagna and Eggplant Parmigiana for direct e-commerce sale with a two-day pre-order lead time.

Revenue is diversified across five streams: café/bistro food and beverage sales (all-day breakfast, lunch, and the Osteria Nights Italian dinner service); roasted coffee product sales including monthly and quarterly subscriptions; fresh pasta and sauce sales; artisanal bakery sales; and event hosting and catering for groups up to 70 guests. The customer base is exclusively retail/consumer across six identified personas (brunch enthusiasts, families, coffee enthusiasts, Italian food lovers, vegetarians, and event hosters). Distribution operates through three physical locations, a company-owned e-commerce storefront, a GrabFood delivery partnership, and a LetsUmai-powered table reservation system.

Broad incumbents

• OldTown White Coffee: Established Malaysian coffee brand with a national cafe footprint and packaged retail products. Comparable as an incumbent Malaysian coffee/cafe competitor with broader scale than Ra-Ft's 3 locations.
• The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (Malaysia): International specialty coffee chain with established Malaysia presence. Comparable as a broader incumbent in the same cafe-and-specialty-coffee segment with deeper scale and brand investment.
• PapaRich: Malaysian casual-dining chain with cafe-style locations serving diverse menus. Relevant as a multi-location Malaysian food/beverage operator in overlapping Klang Valley catchments.

Direct peers

• Common Ground: Malaysian cafe chain with all-day food menus and sit-down ambience spanning breakfast-through-dinner. Comparable to Ra-Ft's cafe/bistro format with broader mainstream positioning.

• Zus Coffee: Fast-growing Malaysian specialty coffee chain with a multi-location retail model and strong D2C momentum. Closest competitive analogue to Ra-Ft in terms of cafe count and target Arabica drinker segment.
• San Francisco Coffee: Malaysian specialty coffee chain that roasts its own beans and operates a multi-cafe retail footprint. Highly comparable to Ra-Ft as a homegrown Malaysian roastery-café model competing for the same specialty Arabica consumer.
• Eight Ounce Coffee Specialist: Malaysian specialty coffee roaster and cafe operator focused on single-origin Arabica. Directly comparable to Ra-Ft on bean provenance, roastery operations, and cafe retail.
• Bean & Barista: Malaysian specialty coffee and bistro chain operating multiple cafe locations domestically. Closely overlaps Ra-Ft in product mix (specialty coffee + light meals) and Klang Valley addressable consumer.

Regional players

• Yellow Brick Road Restaurant: KL-based Italian-concept restaurant with cafe/dining positioning. Relevant as a comparable Italian-cuisine sit-down venue competing in the same premium Klang Valley dining set Ra-Ft targets via Osteria Nights.
