This Kampung Café Serves a Cheesecake That Screams Pistachio

#summervacay Deep in the heart of Skudai, surrounded by kampung roads and quiet homes, you’ll find a surprise that feels worlds away from the usual café scene — Layer Bakehouse. Minimalist, calm, and quietly charming, this little spot has become a local favourite despite being in a pretty ulu area. And once you try their desserts, you’ll understand why people are willing to make the detour. Their pistachio basque cheesecake is the real star. It’s insanely rich, smooth, and loaded with pure pistachio flavour — not the artificial kind, but the deep, roasted nuttiness that lingers on your palate. It’s so creamy it almost melts into the fork, and every bite is like pistachio heaven. No exaggeration — if you’re a pistachio lover, this might just ruin other cheesecakes for you. We also had their peanut butter latte, which pairs perfectly with the richness of the cake. Nutty, aromatic, and just slightly sweet, it’s a fun twist that still keeps the coffee comforting. The café itself is minimalist and thoughtfully designed — clean lines, soft lighting, and a warm, relaxing space that makes you want to stay a while. Their display counter is filled with an ever-changing selection of in-house baked cakes and desserts. You’ll find everything from delicate tarts to modern bakes that show a lot of heart and creativity. Considering how tucked away it is, it’s impressive how many people make the trip — mostly locals who know where the good stuff is. Whether you’re here for a quiet afternoon or just passing through Skudai, Layer Bakehouse is one of those rare spots that feels like a true find.
