What started out as a florist shop has now blossomed into TTDI’s latest cafe, while still offering pretty floral arrangements for sale. Beyond just a cafe, A Little Bud hopes to become a space that fosters warm relationships with its neighbourhood. Rustic rattan furniture and delicately preserved flowers set the scene here, exuding a cosy, Balinese-style atmosphere. The menu features coffee, artisan fruit tea, home-baked pies, homemade cakes and pastries by independent bakers, with more savoury options coming soon.

There’s a new pet-friendly dining enclave in Bukit Bintang that’s home to two eateries on this list (and more in the months to come): Commons KL. First up is Pots & Trays, which may look like a plant nursery selling gardening supplies; but actually doubles as a restaurant serving pizzas, juices, and craft beers. Just look for the greenest spot in the modern hub, contrasted against warm wooden walls, and you’ll likely find yourself at the entrance of the diner.
Address: Commons KL, 55, Bukit Bintang St, Bukit Bintang, 55100 Kuala Lumpur
5. Getting Morning Wood

If you’re familiar with the personalised notebook and stationery store, Summorie, think of Summation as its cafe offshoot. Nestled in Seri Kembangan, this relaxing space serves a plethora of sweet treats and beverages to fuel your journaling or doodling in between shopping for new writing supplies. The cafe’s founders, Cynn and Yang, hail from Penang and have incorporated the island’s synonymous nutmeg into the menu. From Nutmeg Soda to decadent Nutmeg Banana Chocolat, fans of the local fruit will be spoilt for choice here.
