Desa Dairy Farm Café
Desa Cafe
A café at the farm known as Sabah's 'Little New Zealand', where fresh milk, yogurt and ice cream all come from the farm's own cows.
The café sits at the entrance area of the Desa dairy farm in Mesilau, Kundasang, a farm famous for its grassy slopes and dairy cows set against Mount Kinabalu. The café sells fresh milk, chocolate milk, yogurt and Italian-style gelato produced on the farm. Chocolate gelato and plain yogurt are the most recommended. It also offers pizza, croissants, cakes, and hot dishes such as fried chicken and beef rendang, with plenty of air-conditioned seating. Entry to the farm requires a ticket (about RM5 for adults). Queues are long on holidays, and prices are a little higher than in town. It closes at 4:30 pm, so it's ideal to come in the morning, watch the cows feeding their calves, and grab a bite afterward.
Opening hours
Daily 8:00–16:30
