2. De Brush Cafe
This cafe in Taman Len Seng makes you feel right at home, literally. De Brush Cafe is not a fancy hipster cafe, perhaps that is what makes it noteworthy. It's like coming back from school to wait at the dining table for your mom's cooking.
The cafe has received great reviews for its coffee and Western cuisine, definitely a place worth trying out!
Address:
No. 41, Jalan 9,
Taman Len Seng,

3. Baro.cafe
Baro.cafe shares space with its bubble tea business, Baroness. Having to rely on deliveries as the cafe was opened around the Movement Control Order (MCO), Baro.cafe has since expanded its menu. Signatures include the Caju Bokbok, caramel shakerato, salted-egg croissant, and rice bowls. They also sell drinks in frosted glass bottles. One of the drinks, the Matchosso, is a combination of milk, matcha, and espresso.
Address:
18, Jalan Radin Bagus 1,
Sri Petaling,
57000 Kuala Lumpur,
Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur

4. Jeda Cafe and Diner
The word Jeda means "pause" or "rest" in Indonesian and Bahasa Melayu, it is also a portmanteau of Jeda Cafe and Diner's shopowners, Jessica and David. Take a break here and try out the dishes prepared by this husband-and-wife team, no doubt they will be familiar with Malaysian tastebuds.
Suited for chicken-lovers and diners who like it hot, 'What's The Mattah' is a fried chicken fillet with Balinese sambal, and 'Muay Thigh' is a crispy chicken thigh with Thai-style dressing.
