One of the of the best rustic designed café , filled with beautiful sunlight and good vibe. Menu looks interesting. Had Roti Jala with kaya toast ice-cream, surprisingly good! Strong coffee , I love it!

Fairuz Zainal Aarif

Great place to have a quiet time for yourself while enjoying the coffee . I love their deco and the rustic look. Do come early if u want to get the best spot here. Great place for a date.

Angeline Yu Tong

Unique fusion menu & environment, I would prefer to sit at the back cause it's more comfy but there's no aircond. Staffs are friendly , food taste good. Would pay for a second visit.

Sue Wern Tam

Loving the ambience here and their rose honey milk is yums! But their food is only so so. Too bad they are out of their off menu dessert 'better than sex '. Will be back to try it out!

Rachel Yap

Impressme they serve good latte , smooth milk foam with light roast bean, cup of good value coffee to me in Petaling Street.Environment and decoration have to experience by own, stylish and shine to me

There was a queue out the door at lunch but it moved pretty quickly. Many items on the menu looked appetising . We had the recommend South China Sea but the Nasi Lemak pancakes was a hands down winner!

Tracy Loh

super popular cafe due to the awesome rustic interior. the coffee is good, jasmine black is recommended. food is pretty special and taste awesome, portion is pretty big too.

Gideon Yoong

The mistress is pretty good. Big portion of burger and brinjal fries (can be shared). Of course rose tea is delicious too

Punky Pang

1st timer, queue is long since is one of the top instagrammed cafe in the heart of KL. I ordered Salmon fish , the portion is big and worth the value. And please add some sauce please is too dry.

South China Sea ! I will come back and retry again. I visit to here during first day of Bersih4.0. The mood make me can't enjoy my breakfast very well so we all can't finish our foods...

YC Cheah

Beggar's Rice . Shout out to fans of fusion dishes. Interesting medley of broccoli , ikan pari cooked in Malay style asam pedas , fragrant turmeric butter rice & top with oozy cheese

Pearl-Lyn 👑

Really enjoyed the hongkey beef stew & mantis roll w brinjal fries ! They also serve a pretty kick ass carrot cake 🍰

Eat die me- the portion is as big as it sounds. you can choose the sausages (chicken/lamb/beef) & the way you like your eggs to be done (scrambled/poached/sunny side up).

Lau Hui Qi

Overall experience is good. South China Sea is a little dry, butter chicken pasta is nice and the portion is pretty big. Cake is sightly too sweet. The queue can be long so come early!

Some

signature drink : rose honey milk which smells & tastes good. it's not too mild nor too strong. it's just fine. 👌 but personally think it's been overpriced (RM12).

@makansté

This hidden gem is instaworthy beautiful & historic. Had south china sea & bolognese , it was okay. But the superfood tea is delicious imo. Will come back again.

John Kan

Really nice and rustic environment they have there! A new hideout spot for kl peeps! Cant wait to try their earl grey espresso which is still not available yet 💕

Ding CK

The ambience is so jungle and old, really amazing. There is air-con sections and open air section. Perfect place for chit chat and relax.

Andrie Swatzins

I had a great feeling of satisfaction everytime Visiting this place. Alluring and creative designs make the place look fantastic. Cool and tasteful food makes you crave for more.

Cristo

Highly recommended new cafe n diner , hipsterish feel and great local delights fusion - mmm! And afterwards do check out speakeasy just next door.

Aem Wong

A seemingly good place to hangout. Quite difficult to actually locate the place, but totally worth it👍 The dishes are unique and delicious. Price is an eyesore, as if paying for the hipster deco😂

YC Cheah

If you are feeling adventurous, give the jasmine long black a go. It'll surprise you with an uplifting jasmine scent. As you sip, your palate will welcome a tea-like texture with clean aftertaste

Se7enthAngel

Now if only the walls could talk, I wonder what they would divulge! Apparently used to be a brothel. I was here for 1 sole reason only: to satisfy my sweet tooth with : Better Than Sex...

Pearl-Lyn 👑

Really love the environment & deco here! Can't leave without taking a few pics for sure!

YC Cheah

If you are adventurous, try the jasmine long black. You will be 1st greeted by the calming scent of jasmine. As you sip, the coffee washed over your palate with tea-like mouth feel

Khai Chee Lim

Best interior amongst the cafes in KL, light & airy. There's still room for improvement on food and drink. / 5* for design & effort; 3* for food; 2* for value.

Janell Alexander

Pay for the environment and ambience. Hipster hang out place for picture, but the details and design of cafe do catch your eyeball. Fusion menu for local and travellers, portion is good

Some

itadakimas pancake- not your usual pancake . a rather unique pancake that will stimulate your taste buds the moment you see it. to me, the taste wasn't superb but good.

Hana Kim

Beautiful place with the rustic style. Loved their rose honey milk . Their pecan maple cake was nice but a little too sweet.

Diyana Nabila

Tried butter chicken pasta and it’s so good. The portion is so big. Will try their signature on my next visit

Lone Wong

A place full of nostalgia and memorable experience of old street in Kuala Lumpur. Food is rather good in appropriate portion. And the coffee is awesome.

Florian Sänger

Not easy to find, but once you walk up the stairs to this first floor café , you'll find a beautiful, cozy place. I had a great matcha latte here.

GP G

Worth to pay a visit. Love the rusty concept and meeting cafe lovers there with the same mood.

Daniel's Daughter

Rose tea and salte caramel peanut butter cake was nice, lovely ambience. The staff should be a little more helpful maybe.

Emily L

Creative dishes. Prices were on the high side (touristy area). Food 8/10. South China Sea is worth a try! RM29

Charlotte Lee

Pipits nest (RM16) This is a deep fried brinjal, onion rings and chicken tenders with cheesy sauce and mayonnaise . Iove the taste but too little chicken tender in it. So for me, it's kinda pricey !

Wen Wen Chee

Honey Rose Milk is to die for, super fragrant. Note : the interior here is great for pictures

Eleena Ahmad

Tried rose honey milk and several dishes. All of them are yummy! And the prices are affordable

Ugendran Letchimenan

Few good places in KL that serves good coffee and great food!

Emily

Old house style café , really nice cool place to take a city break at. Had Coffee and kalau aku kaya dessert .. Yum.

Michelle Yeong

A good chillax place with nice interior, cozy and spacious . Improvements are needed for food wise but I don't get the hype for rose honey milk , kinda overprice too

Anna Stevens

I walked past this place twice before finding the humble door leading up tot the restaurant . Coffee was good, as was the South China Sea salmon , but it was cold by the time it got to me.

Wayne Simon

One of KL's prettiest cafes dishes out some pretty great food too. The burger was fantastic

CARMENCY

rose honey milk is just so heavenly! will definitely come back for a second visit, love the ambience of the place!

YC Cheah

Super fruit lemon tea . Slightly sweet & tangy . Obvious champion in the thirst quenching beverage category.

Iman Izzati

South China Sea is awesome! Such an amazing dish with a variety of texture. Every ingredient complemented the other.

Sally Mei

Very loud makes my head dizzy with the noises and seats are uncomfortable.... No pandan taste for this "better than sex" dessert

Danielle D

This place has a LOT of potential, such a nice interior and friendly staff . The food was a letdown, though, it was only lukewarm. It could have been so nice if it were warmer!

Amanda Wong

Environment is rustic chic , insta-worthy and food is quite good. Only prob is the parking . Paid freaking rm20 just to visit this place. Sighh
