๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ is perhaps KLโs most popular cafรฉ at the moment. Peopled round-the-clock by mobile-toting millennials and tattooed youngsters, it was almost a world unto itself.
The trendsetting cafรฉ was a collaboration between Joey Mah, a trusted name amongst KLโs coffee-lovers (he also owns the long-running and successful Artisan Roastery in TTDI, and Three Little Birds Coffee in Sentul) and Keith Koay, a 3-time Malaysian champion barista whose thick, rich aromatic brews complemented the wide range of pastries perfectly.
The industrial-chic premises, surrounded by a Zen-like garden, is designed by Penang landscape architect, Wei Ming, of Sputnik Forest Lab.
The daunting 1-hour queues have disappeared since the initial craze in mid-July 2020 when it first opened, but itโs still ever busy. Our breakfast yesterday morning consisted of:

KL-lites still drive across the city to get to this little neighbourhood bakery-cafe for their caffeine fix, so I was more than pleased that itโs just a 5-minute drive from where I usually stay when Iโm in town.
