It is here that you will find the best roast coffee. This serene and light-filled place is an evolution of one of Kuala Lumpur’s oldest micro Roasters, The Roast Things. You can have your drink in both hot and iced versions. The roasters are so skilled that they are able to bring out those nuanced flavours that the average roaster cannot.

5) Standing Theory

While many people associate Standing Theory with coffee, it is also one of those cafes that are not afraid to push the envelope. Go get a taste of the V.D. Roll, a sandwich that features crisp vegetables, pork pate and a chilli-spiked pork patty. Wash it down with a potent cold brew on the rocks.

6) Three Little Birds
