15 Places to Get Your Coffee Fix

Sipping a good cup coffee is one of life's simplest pleasures...at least to me! ;)  There's nothing quite like sitting and chatting with friends over a cuppa or even quietly by oneself in a corner (with perhap a good book in hand)...sipping coffee slowly as the world passes us by.

 So, here's my list of places-to-go to get yourself that perfect morning wake-me-up.  It includes some newly discovered gems and some old favourites too.


Excellent coffees.  Cute latte art.  Exceptional service.  You'd want to linger and soak in this charming cafe.  A current favourite, for now. ^o^

 The Red Beanbag @ Publika

One of the first few cafes I wrote about when I started blogging.  If the coffee is as good as I remembered, then it deserves a place on this list.  And if the pic looks familiar too....well, it's the pic I used for my blog profile...kekeke! ^_~

 Beam @ Bandar Sri Damansara

Great place (cozy but a little noisy) for coffees with some outstanding local kuih and cakes for company.

 28 Fireplace @ Persiaran Ampang

The coffees are always good here...and the latte art is always spot on too :)



Good-looking cafe serving great coffees with and equally good menu.

 Yellow Brick Road @ Damansara Heights
They claim to serve oz-some coffee....and I agree.

 Antipodean @ Menara Tan & Tan


One of my old...or should I say first favourites.  Though I've not been back for a long while, I think it deserves special mention for its longevity.

43 Coffee @ Taman Tun Dr Ismail
A quiet spot for coffee.  Come here for the coffee, not the ambience.

 Breakfast Thieves @ APW Bangsar

Good coffees but place is crowded (even hectic at times).  May have to queue or is that a thing of the past already?

 Acme Bar & Coffee @ Pavilion Elite
A perfect place for a coffee date with its romantic ambience and candlelit tables.  Coffees may be a little expensive but I reckon that'll be the least of your priorities when out on a date.

 La Casa @ Mont Kiara
Fabulous coffees....with equally fabulous cakes for pairing.

 The Good Batch @ Damansara Uptown

Let the good coffees.....and good times roll! ;)

 Wizards At Tribeca @ Jalan Imbi


Brought to you by the good folks of Yellow Brick Road and Red Beanbag, you can come to expect the same quality standards here.


The closest place to me for a cuppa when I need one.  Food (prepped in central kitchen and reheated) isn't all that great though.


The coffees here are great.....and matched by good food too.  Loved the gorgeous exterior and interior with streams of sunlight cascading through the cafe that's ideal for photo-taking enthusiasts.

So, the next time you need a coffee fix for whatever reason (I don't judge!), you may want to explore some of these options available.  Coffee is not just black.....it's many different things to different people.  Drink up....for its numerous health benefits...but in moderation ya! ^.^

    This is definitely my favourite post as I am drinking coffee right now while blog hopping in the office! I drink coffee at least once a day and it could be fresh brew or even 3-in-1 type. It just need to have some strong aroma to please me.

    I have looked through your list 3 times to single out familiar ones. I have only visited Common Man Coffee Roasters and Antipodean @ Bangsar. I will find time to drink at the other places in your list when fate permits me.
    I would like to suggest that you try this coffee specialists outlet by the name of Artisan Coffee Roast which is beside the Maybank (opposite OK Restaurant). I had never seen any real coffee place that is so packed everyday from lunch time till closing at night!! I liked it so much but given up going as I often had to wait too long for seats made from recycled wood pieces. The founder's biography is very interesting.

      Oh yes, I'm very familiar with this coffee specialist, Artisan Coffee Roast (but I've just not made it there). In fact, quite a few cafes in Klang Valley use the coffee beans roasted by them...and there are three in my list (so, you could say that I've been drinking their coffee). Don't despair, you don't have to wait in line for a place at ACR, you can have their coffee elsewhere (just check out which cafes from their website)! ^_~

    Oh yes, I'll have to agree with you. Coffee is pleasure! I like a big mug of iced coffee in front of the TV on weekends. I see that The Good Batch made it to your list. I love their coffee too but pity about the food. The rest of the coffee places I have yet to visit.

      Yup, local kopi I also sapu. I actually like our local kopi-o a lot and that's usually my default drink at kopitiams :)

    i don't think i could argue with any place on your list - they all take their coffee seriously enough :) it's almost hard to imagine that there was a time, at the beginning of this decade (2010), when none of these cafes existed yet (antipodean and the red beanbag are the two oldest ones on your list)! :D

      Hmmm, I wonder where we go to enjoy coffees then. Probably San Francisco Coffee, Starbucks and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf...kekeke! ;)
