Surprise and hidden chilling spot for anyone who don't want to deal with the bustling busy streets and Kuala Lumpur's noise. The coffee is heavy, thick and bitter but its deeply roasted smells is fragrant and calming. I ordered chai and the spices smell is nice and sweet. We ordered roti bakar dwi-keju and it has some spices sprinkled on it, baked from sour dough with 2 types of cheese sandwich in between. The ambience is cool, chilled, quiet with your ears pleasantly listening to any playlists that is turned on. 2 baristas entertain you and multiple of books to calm you minds. I will come again if i have busy days. But chect their opening hours fist before you come as they do have close shop days.

Came here around 4pm something after the rain. The atmosphere and ambience here is so chillax and healing. I ordered hot matcha latte, kopikita and cookies vanilla~ it’s delicious! A lot of books and poetry. I can say every single side/angle of this cafe is very instagramable! The parking area here is quite limited due to private area, so it’s better to come here using motorcycle or e-hailing. P/s: the cat is super cute and super chilling!

If you're into local books, rare collections, or independent zine releases, this spot along the Sentul/Setapak borderline is worth a visit, in addition to their coffee. They also offer a wide range of specialty coffees. The barista, who is also the owner, is highly knowledgeable about coffee and is great at recommending drinks based on your mood, feelings, or preferences. It’s a great way to lift your spirits.

The hidden gems of Sentul / Setapak borderline areas. If you are into local books, rare books collection , independent zine release, this is the place you may want to stop by apart from the coffee. And of course they serve variety and specialty coffees here. The barista (owner) is very knowledgeable on coffee and helping very much to suggest on which coffee you need to try based on your feelings, expression or moods. It will boost you later.
