The 13 Types Of Malaysians You'll See At Any Coffee Shop

This cafe staple is probably the easiest to spot. Sometimes they appear in the form of a judgmental barista who's reluctant to add ice to your coffee. Other times, they're the ones sitting a few tables away, cringing at the sugar you're dumping into your latte.

They know exactly what they want, and they're not afraid to say it - even if their unnecessarily complicated order takes a full minute to say out loud and they're holding up the queue.

You'll find at least one of these pancake-loving gangs on any given weekend morning!

He's new to the cafe scene and he's the one getting overwhelmed trying to figure out what the equivalent of his kopi peng is in hipster cafe speak. He may also yelp when he sees how much his fancy coffee actually costs.

You gotta have a bit of patience when dining out with this one. By the time they're done taking photos of their dishes and yours from every angle imaginable, your food will no longer be the piping hot platter you had ordered.

They've got a feed to curate, which means their OOTDs are always on-point and they have no problems waiting for the most photogenic spots in the cafe to be vacated, so that they can start posing for their #coffeelover posts.

As the name suggests, this type is interested in one thing and one thing only:

This one is often seen working at the cafe, and you'll find them at one point or another crouched under the table trying to find a plug point for their dying laptop.

They'll look at the menu and pretend to decide between a macchiato or a cappucino. But when they get the chance, they'll slink away to the toilet, and walk out of the cafe without  actually ordering, never to be seen again.

They're often found fast asleep behind a stack of assignment papers.

This forever-rushing type is often found scrolling through their phones while waiting at the to-go counter, and has the amazing ability of replying at least 13 emails by the time they're coffee is ready.

They're the ones sitting all by themselves, deep in thoughts as the steam wafts off their cups. While it looks like they'd planned to have some me time, more often than not, it's the unfortunate case of their friends FFK-ing on them.

They hear enough about how amazing these modern coffee shops are from their kids, and yet here they are, wondering if they're in some weird elaborate trap that involves paying RM35 for eggs and toast.
