I’m generally not a fan of chain coffee shops, but there some good ones, particularly outside the USA. I found a very nice coffee shop inside one of the busiest malls in Kuala Lumpur.
Best Coffee In Kuala Lumpur
The hotels I stayed in had very respectable coffee so my ventures to find coffee in KL were limited. One afternoon I did walk over to the bustling Suria KLCC shopping mall.
There are many coffee shops here, including one on top of the other on top of the other:
I decided to try Eight Ounce Coffee, called “Malaysia’s beloved homegrown brand.”
Eight Ounce Coffee Co.
Suria KLCC, Unit 115, Level 1
Suria KLCC, Persiaran Petronas
Kuala Lumpur
+60 3-7622 8780
7:30 am – 10:00 pm (Monday – Friday)
9:00 am – 10:00 pm (Saturday, Sunday)
In addition to coffee, pastries including scones (one of my favorite treats, though I resisted), are available. Everything looked quite great.
I ordered a flat white and it was served in a canary yellow ceramic cup.
I sat in a small dining area adjacent to the restaurant.
Great coffee. Very good for a chain.
My former favorite place was called Aseana Cafe Bar, but it appears to have permanently closed…
CONCLUSION
I enjoyed a nice flat white at a chain coffee shop in KL…it is possible! I’ll return to Eight Ounce Coffee again next time.
I’m very open to any of your coffee recommendations in Kuala Lumpur!
I still read it.
Thanks!
Damn-that’s expensive for a coffee!
That’s Malaysian Ringgit, so 13.80 was only 2.91 USD.
If you’re in Bombay or bangalore you have to check out third wave coffee. Their cold brew is amazing
Looks good!
A fun coffee thing in KL is to go to a street cafe and order a “Kopi-O ais.” It reminds me of iced Cuban coffee. Always cheap and available.
