Tree Monk is a coffee roaster based in Kota Kinabalu, in the Northern Borneo state of Sabah. The multicultural residents of Sabah carry with them a long history of drinking the very strong bitter-flavoured Robusta coffee, which is served abundantly throughout local eateries, locally known as the Kopitiam. Despite the affection of the locals for such coffee drinks, Tree Monk aims to introduce an al

ternative way to look and drink coffee. From where the coffee beans come from, the different grades of coffee beans, how the coffee beans are treated and roasted and ultimately, how they are transformed into the drinks in the hands of the final consumer. Much effort has been put into the many stages of coffee from bean to cup but less is known on the appreciation of coffee. Tree Monk aspires to bring forefront the dynamic characteristics of the coffee beans, which includes the vast range of flavours, taste and texture. With them, also the stories of those who were involved in the process of bringing that drink to the table.

We have decided our last day of operation to be on the 30th May 2023.

If you wish to have a last look at our current location, please visit us soon.

The beauty of an end is that it opens up space for potential new possibilities. We hope this is not a permanent good bye and that we will see you all again sometime in the future.

Until then, please stay well and take care.

Today is tree monk’s 6th birthday!

Sometimes it’s amazing to realise how far we have walked and we are grateful for all the blessings we have been given along the way. It doesn’t feel like too long but it is long enough to build relationships that can last for a lifetime. Thank you very much to all who have visited and supported us all these years.

It has not been an easy ride, to think that we had made the decision to go from being a coffee roaster to not being a coffee roaster, to have survived the COVID19 pandemic plus other challenges that comes with managing this business, it is still a business beneath the surface of just a place to eat and drink. And there were many times of doubt when we had to question why we are holding on to this.

With that in mind, we would like to announce that we have come to another turning point. We are unable to continue our rental contract due to a recent change in ownership of this property. After much hard consideration, we have decided that we will end our operation soon. We think it’s a good time given so much changes is going on in all our lives right now and many of us are facing challenges. Do trust this process to be a blessing in disguise.

If you are reading until this point, you are probably someone who cares about us. Why not pay us a visit soon before we end this part of our lives? At this time, we are unsure of our last day of operation yet, we will make that announcement when we are ready.

Tree Monk will be open for dine-in from tomorrow, Sunday, 3rd January 2021 from 10 am to last order at 5 pm daily except Wednesdays when we will take the day off for the time being.

We do apologise to customers who have been eagerly waiting for this and to those who have been denied entry when visiting us last month. Covid19 cases in Sabah do not look like it's slowing down and we have been cautious.

May we remind all upcoming patrons that we are still battling Covid19 so it is crucial to follow the SOPs while having the freedom to enjoy ourselves in public areas.

On top of government specified SOPs, we ask our patrons to follow our in house SOPs too.

1) We will not accept groups of more than 4 people at this time. We recommend groups of 2 wherever possible. Request to combine tables will be denied at this time.

2) As available seats are limited, we ask patron to limit your visit to a maximum of 2 hours and refrain from using laptops and tablets during busy hours. Please be courteous with your seats.

3) Please wear a mask when entering Tree Monk's premise, wash your hands and maintain social distancing at all times.

We hope patrons understand the reason for these rules and let's not take for granted that we are still able to enjoy the dine-in experience during this time. Do enjoy yourselves but do also take caution for yourself and your loved ones.

Stay safe as always.

Congratulations, you have survived 2020! You are amazing!

Most of us will probably remember 2020 for the rest of our lives, the year that we lost, be it something, someone, wealth, relationships, etc.

But in what looks like a bad year, perhaps you can find the good if you look closely.

Were you able to spend more time at home with family? Or even make connections from Zoom calls?

Have you finally found the time to read that book, clean that room or pursue that hobby you have always put off because you told yourself you never had enough time?

Most importantly, did you take time to reflect on what is important for you in life? Maybe a realisation or even an epiphany.

Perhaps one day we will look back and see that 2020 was a prep year for us, to get us ready for what is ahead.

Can we take this opportunity to remind you that we have not won the battle, we are far from winning but we are winning in progress so please do your part to wear a mask, keep your hands clean and social distance?

Take a moment to be grateful for all the things 2020 have taught you. Stay sane and stay safe, everyone. Coffee?

Dear tree monk patrons, I'm sure you have heard of recent developments in COVID19 cases at home in Sabah. As drastic as the effect it will have on our lives (again), we do applaud our local government for making the hard decision to do movement control again. This is for the safety of your loved ones and for our community as a whole.

But rest assured, tree monk will remain open, with adjusted opening times, during this CMCO period for takeaways and deliveries only. In compliance with government guidelines, we will not allow dine-in for your safety and the safety of our colleagues.

We will continue to be with you on your everyday coffee journey. While you are staying at home enjoying your coffee, may we remind you to continue to observe your personal hygiene wherever you go, remember to wear a mask and wash your hands frequently (or use hand sanitisers).
