Now we know 2018 hasn’t ended but we’re planning ahead for you. Here are some of the new cafe in KL that perhaps, should make it in your bucket list by 2019.
#1 POKOK
Another brainchild of the Brickhouse Group, POKOK rose to fame recently with its breathtaking architecture. A glass house surrounded in lush green, the floor to ceiling glass windows offers 360 view while dining. Serving fresh goods, fresh bakes and coffee, POKOK definitely needs to be on the “new cafe in KL” list. Ps: Waiting time could be a pain, but hey, they’re still new, give them some time foodies.

As the name suggests, this place serves up some seriously good curries. Spacious and cozy, Cureé is a new cafe in KL among the neighbourhood with colorful, aesthetic vibe. Meals are never too complicated here, simple yet authentic. The owner gears up his recipes from a friend in Japan, so expect some classic Hokkaido soup curry.

Originally a cafe in the heart of Georgetown, Penang, Urban Daybreak has since expanded, serving more cafe hoppers.

Those who are thirsty are welcomed at Thurs 2.0 as well, they have cool teas and drinks with quirky names.
