1. Bray Bakery, Taman U Thant
Carb-lovers, take note of the latest specialty bakery and coffee place in town—Bray Bakery at Menara See Hoy Chan. Launched by Dr Jeanette Chua’s Altruist Group, this new establishment aims to serve great coffee and breads while educating its customers and doing good for society. ‘Bray’ means to grind, crush or pound, which represents how the brand’s specialty coffee is brayed before extraction and how fine grains are brayed atop its loaves before baking. While the bakery is still having a bake sale to test out new recipes, its Sourdough Awakening Buns and Basil Foccacia Sourdough Loaf appear to be bestsellers so far. The former is infused with specialty coffee and is said to taste like a cross between Swedish cardamom buns and the Malaysian-favourite Rotiboy for a unique blend with a hint of nostalgia!

2. BeanGood, Cheras
View this post on Instagram
Have you BeanGood today? If not, perhaps treating yourself to some comfort food or desserts from this new, minimalist eatery may lift your spirits. Take your pick from rice, pasta and meat-based dishes for your main meal, or check out the assortment of tarts for dessert. You can also mix and match two halves of a six-inch tart (options include Korean Strawberry Crème Tart and Yuzu Lemon Meringue Pie, to name a few), but diehard durian addicts will probably want the whole Musang King Durian Tart to themselves. Top your order off with a cup of specialty coffee or cold brew for the complete teatime treat!

3. Happy Xixi, Sri Petaling
View this post on Instagram
It’s good vibes only at this sunny new café in Sri Petaling, as you can tell by its name. (Fun fact: Xixi is an expression for laughter or a silly, naïve giggle in Mandarin.) Defined by vivid orange interiors and a cute smiley face on its logo, the dessert shop specialises in croffles, snacks, cold desserts, and comfort food that promises to leave you smiling. Among the highlights on its menu include Salted Egg Lava Croissant, Tiramisu Croffle, and Longan Osmanthus dessert. There’s also a decent selection of poke bowls, rice dishes and croissant sets for those looking for savoury options or heavier meals.
Available for: Takeaway and delivery (Beep/Grab/Foodpanda)
Address: 5700, No. 155-G, Jalan Radin Bagus, Sri Petaling, 57000 Kuala Lumpur
Opening hours: 10.30am to 7pm daily
4. Hey Peach, Bangsar South
The vegan movement is growing in KL and Hey Peach is the latest establishment driving it forward. It’s also the plant-based sister restaurant of Parklife, both of which are located in one of the buzziest creative, sociocultural hubs in the city, RexKL. What makes this new vegan spot a standout though, is that fruits are the main star of its menu. Instead of salad bowls and/or plant-based meats, expect colourful fruit bowls, rolls, chia seed puddings, and fruit toasts featuring every colour of the rainbow. That said, you can still get your veggies with options such as Signature Hummus, Roasted Pumpkin and Mixed Organic Quinoa Salad.
Available for: Takeaway and delivery
Address: RexKL Building, The Background, 80, Jalan Sultan, City Centre, 50000 Kuala Lumpur
Contact: +6011 1620 7606
Opening hours: 10am to 8pm daily
5. Googoo Gaagaa, Pandan Indah
View this post on Instagram
No, this café isn’t named after some cute plush toys. Instead, its owners found inspiration from one of Queen’s popular songs (brownie points for guessing which one). Calling Pandan Indah its home, Googoo Gaagaa instantly commands attention with its bright red and orange walls, fluorescent paintings, and unusual furniture and art décor pieces that give the space a unique identity. As for the menu, expect an eclectic mix of burgers, sandwiches, and quesadillas, as well as a range of coffee made from its own ‘Ultimate House Blend’.
Available for: Self-pickup and delivery
Address: 88, Jalan Pandan Indah 4/6b, Pandan Indah, 55100 Kuala Lumpur, Selangor
Opening hours: 10.30am to 3pm daily
6. Iki Omakase, Imbi
View this post on Instagram
Iki opened its doors in April to welcome fans of omakase to indulge in its specialty Edomae sushi, made using fresh, seasonal ingredients from Japan. Although the FMCO has put a halt on the full omakase experience—where customers would be treated to the chef’s creations amidst its warm, modern interiors that evoke the landscape of Tokyo’s hidden gems—the restaurant is currently offering dons (rice dishes), somen noodles, and the chef’s selection of sushi for takeaway and delivery. For the ultimate treat, don’t miss the karafuru sets—featuring a selection of premium sashimi, finely crafted nigiri sushi, and the dessert of the day, housed within a traditional wooden lacquered bento box.

7. The Dough Factory, Bandar Sri Damansara
Launched just a week ago in the middle of FMCO, The Dough Factory is another new artisan bakery and brunch spot to check out. From kouign-amann to plain and flavoured croissants to Danish pastry, the bakery section has something for both sweet tooths and those with savoury preferences. Meanwhile, the food menu consists of dishes such as Crab Benedict, Buttermilk Fried Chicken Burger, Chilli Crab Pasta and Seasonal Mushroom. While you’re at it, why not complete your meal with your choice of chocolate or coffee and a slice of cake?
