Set in a triple-storey building in PJ that’s home to three different concepts, Noon Viennoiserie churns out fresh croissants and sourdoughs six days a week. Contrary to its name, this artisanal bakery cafe also welcomes early risers as well as visitors on a mid-day break to satisfy their carb cravings. Meanwhile, its neighbour, Ground Coffee Roasters, is responsible for serving the perfect cuppa Joe to complement your carb of choice; whereas the aptly named Second Floor rooftop bar opens for craft beer, cakes, and cocktails after 6pm.

Modern meets traditional at Guan’s in Taman Rasa Sayang, marrying your typical Chinese kopitiam (coffee shop) with contemporary cafe interiors. The newly opened space is a sister of the eatery of the same name and concept in Kota Kinabalu, except with a stronger emphasis on coffee culture as led by Klang Valley-based roastery, Brew & Bread. Similarly, patrons can expect a menu featuring local delights such as nasi lemak and curry mee, in addition to croissants, toasts, and pasta.

One may argue that adding another bakery cafe to KL’s F&B scene is *superfluous*, but we’re getting one anyway in the form of, well, Cafe Superfluous. Located in the Taman Desa neighbourhood, this minimal spot serves an array of sourdough toasts, croissants, freshly baked goods, and sweet pastries alongside coffee and other crafted beverages. The ambience is warm and inviting, with seating arrangements better fitted for smaller groups of two or three.

Who says desserts are often too sweet? Kuchai Lama’s new Bu Tian Desserts begs to differ, beckoning both dessert addicts and non-sweet tooths for a taste of its tea-based treats. The cafe’s name is literally translated from Mandarin to mean “not sweet”, with options spanning strawberry shortcakes, alcoholic tiramisu tarts, cakes, and an assortment of matcha delights. It’s also set to be a social media magnet with its warm, minimal aesthetic and pretty dried flower arrangements.
