Kuala Lumpur's Best Cafés

My opinion of cafe's in KL. Numbers represent ranking - lower is better.

Espresso Lab Nu Sentral 2
Nice, balanced but strong latte. Friendly staff. Salmon quiche was nice. Almost forgot the quiche. Water sold separately?

Lapis near burger king wangsa walk 2.1
Very friendly staff. Free water. Best atmosphere so far. Main food is delicious. Coffee is not bad but priced lower than mainstream cafes. The espresso lab was better. Cakes are nice too and priced lower than other cafes. 

Big Apple Doughnuts Wangsa Maju AEON 2.2
Doughnuts are great for the price. Certainly better than mister doughnut and dunkin. Haven't compared it to krispy kreme. Coffee is also the best lf the 3. Ordered a Latte and there wasnt any froth. Milk wasnt thick enough. But the coffee serving for 7.50 was big. Served in a very cool looking cup. Te taste of the coffee was not bad. Bold tasting and enjoyable. Not the greatest food or coffee but fantastic value. Doughnut and very large coffee for RM10. I'm happy. No wifi. Atmosphere at this branch is not so great. Then again its a doughnut shop, not a cafe. There are nicer branches around though.

Coffee Mania PV128 2.5
Best service in any Malaysian business. Super enthusiastic and professional staff. Fantastic atmosphere. Very relaxing. Ideal for chit chatting. Very fancy looking cakes and deserts. Presentation is 200%. Mille Creppe's are their specialty supposedly. You'll be spoilt for choice on cakes and deserts. Latte was bad. Weak coffee, very milky, mostly just like hot milk. It wasn't even that hot actually.

Dr.Cafe festival city mall. 2.6
Very nice atmosphere. Not cheap. Close to mainstream prices. Super friendly staff. Great service. Free wifi. Latte was weak. Choc mouse was nice but slightly too sweet for my taste. No free water. 

Coffee Bean Low Yat. 2.7
Friendly staff. Wifi troublesome with logins and facebook page like etc. coffee was OK. Latte but a little weak tasting. 

8 Ounce KLCC 4
Balanced taste. Served a latte-like coffee. 20% service charge?! For what?! 

Espresso Lab Low Yat Plaza 1.9
Perfect flat white. Best coffee in south east asia. Friendliest staff and best service ive seen in a malaysian food business. Water served complimentary once i sat down. Professional attitude with all staff. 

Secret Recipe Wangsa Maju AEON 3
Cake sucked. Mostly sugary cream. Chocolate part was low quality and mostly sugary vegetable fat. Coffee was served nice and hot, tasted balanced. But it was made like a cappuccino - thick 2cm foam on top with regular milk coffee underneath. 

Coffee Planet Nu Sentral 5
Coffee: watery: almost like warmed skim milk coffee. Very high acidity. Shocked at first sip and thought it might have been made with spoiled milk. was served at slightly above room temperature- was able to just scull it down. price quite high for water. $7 for 330ml mineral water. Business off high traffic location.
