Hey, Charming!
With only a few days left in the calendar year, I thought why not do a round-up of my favourite cafes around Klang Valley. For those of you still searching for the right place to have your year-end season celebrations, this list is made for you.
Here are my top 10 cafe picks of the year:
1 | Wizards at Tribeca
There is so much to love about this place. The food's good. The coffee's good. There's tons of greenery and the environment is posh enough but also really chill. Moreover, Wizards is great for hosting events with large groups and is kid-friendly.
Wizards at Tribeca: 215, Jalan Imbi, Imbi, 55100 Kuala Lumpur | Opens Monday - Thursday, 10am - 6pm & Friday - Sunday, 10am - 10pm | View their menu here
2 | Blonde
From the originators of Serai, Jibby & Co, and Jibby by the Park comes Blonde, the whimsical baby of the lot birthed by the Serai Group.
This restaurant/cafe is truly one of a kind. For starters, Blonde's menu is fun and playful. There's always something exciting to try at each visit and the food is never disappointing. The ambiance is also beautiful, suited for a girls night out or for brunch dates with your SO.
Blonde: G.03A, Republik, Jalan Medan Setia, Bukit Damansara, 50490 Kuala Lumpur | Opens Monday - Friday, 10am - 10pm & Weekends, 9am - 10pm | View their menu here
3 | Poppy Kat
Sip on hot (or cold) coffee while munching on yummy croffles and be entertained by star kitty performers, Mimi and Meow Meow, at Poppy Kat. One look into these fur babies' eyes will melt your soul.
In all seriousness, the pastries here are dope. This writer highly recommends the Croque Madame for those craving something savoury or the Butterscotch Popcorn croffle if you're in for sweets. Definitely do give the Biscoff Latte a try too because it is delicious!
Poppy Kat: 34A, Jalan Nadchatiram, Taman Taynton View, 56000 Cheras | Opens Monday - Thursday, 10am - 6pm & Friday - Sunday, 9am - 10pm | View their menu here
4 | Curee
If you haven't already tried Curee's curry, you need to do it soon. It is absolutely the bomb. Besides, hosting at Curee's is a breeze. Big and small groups are welcomed since they have a top floor reserved for functions and celebrations. Once you've done with your meals, head over to Sucrose for desserts conveniently located next door.
Curee: 40, Jalan 1/77A Off Jalan Imbi, Changkat Thambi Dollah, 55100 Kuala Lumpur | Opens daily from 12 - 8pm (except Wed) | View their menu here
5 | Birch by Huckleberry
Birch is a beauty, a true Instagram worthy cafe. This glasshouse modelled cafe is both stunning in the mornings and at night. Come dressed up or dressed down, it's up to you, but don't forget to take pictures!
Birch by Huckleberry: Ground Floor Jalan Damanlela Lot G10/11 Damansara City Mall, Bukit Damansara, 50490 Kuala Lumpur | Opens daily from 9am - 12am | View their menu here
6 | Jaslyn Cakes
What celebration is complete without cake, and what better place to have it than at Jaslyn's.
Having opened two branches, one in Bangsar and another in Mont Kiara, this tiny bakery cafe is perfect for those preferring a more intimate setting. Order you and your pals a slice of your favourite cake, get comfy and enjoy each other's company as you close the year 2021 together.
Jaslyn Cakes: 7A, Jalan Telawi 2, Bangsar, 59100 Kuala Lumpur | Opens Tuesday - Sunday 11am - 7pm (except Mon) | View their menu here
7 | Common Man Coffee Roasters
Craving for a hearty brunch that not only satisfies your taste buds but your soul? Look no further but to Common Man. This place can be quite underrated but it's one of my favourite go-to spots simply because it hits all the right notes of flavour, aesthetics and good, good coffee.
Common Man Coffee Roasters: Plaza Vads, A-G-1 New Podium, 1, Jalan Tun Mohd Fuad, 60000 Kuala Lumpur | Opens | View their menu here
8 | Superfine
Superfine has been attracting crowds, both young and old since opening. This family-friendly neighbourhood café located in the heart of ss17 is all about good food and good vibes.
Another great selling point of Superfine is that this cafe keeps an All-Day Breakfast menu, perfect for late risers like this writer. You need to have their sourdough toast with housemade duck egg kaya, it is heavenly!
Superfine: Seventeen Mall, Jalan 17/38, Seksyen 17, Petaling Jaya | Opens daily from 10.30am – 5pm, 6.15pm – 8pm | View their menu here
9 | One Half x ilaika
One Half x ilaika has gotten a major facelift recently and is looking sexier and fresher than ever. The coffee here is still one of the bests this writer’s had around Klang Valley, therefore deserving a spot in the list of best cafes this year.
One Half x ilaika: Jalan 20/13, Taman Paramount, 46300 Petaling Jaya | Opens daily 8am - 10.30pm | View their menu here
10 | 270 sqft
A small space with stonk coffee is what they call it. 270 sqft has everything you need for brunch and desserts. They offer a variety of bagels and cakes for takeaway. Dine-in spaces are limited so be mindful if you are bringing 2 or more friends.
