Checking out two more caffeine-crazy newbies, these ones seeking success at the suburban shop-lots of Desa Sri Hartamas & Damansara Jaya.
First up, Benjamin Coffee & Tea, a friendly, no-frills cafe that uses 100 percent Arabica beans & German tea leaves for its beverages.
Benjamin's latte is enjoyable enough, well-paired with a nice slice of red velvet cake.
Next: Bulb Coffee, also a welcoming place eager to ensure a pleasant experience for patrons.
Bulb's desserts are homemade by the cheerful owner's aunt; love this chilled Oreo cheesecake, a light, mousse-like delight that's ideal for a hot afternoon. RM8.
Affogato, well-priced for RM10 nett. Basic salads, sandwiches & pasta are available too.
Bonus coffee stop: Returning to Hartamas' Podgy & The Banker.
Earlier entry on Podgy & The Banker: July 23.
Podgy now serves brunch fare, mercifully available through 5pm. Eggs are well-executed here; have 'em poached with spinach & garlic (RM10), fried or scrambled.
Chicken & avocado sandwich with tomato salad. Simple satisfaction for RM14 nett.
Podgy's business hours have changed since July; it now opens 9am-midnight, except Tuesdays. What hasn't changed: The signature 'frowny face' featured on hot chocolates & macchiatos here.
