Mr & Mrs Cafe embarked on a new chapter of its life this year, moving in March 2022 from its eight-year-old home in Oasis Ara Damansara to a fresh-faced space in Cantara Residences.
It's only a three-kilometre move, but Mr & Mrs Cafe has been totally transformed, housed in a two-level venue with twin concepts.
Whether you prefer a stylish setting that specialises in Aussie-inspired brunches or local koptiam-influenced surroundings that serve Malaysian breakfast fare, you might fall in love with the revitalised Mr & Mrs Cafe.
Starting 19 July 2022, Mr & Mrs Cafe is extending its business hours to dinnertime, with an expanded Muslim-friendly menu that spans Australian grass-fed beef steaks to lamb shanks.
Fun fact: Mr & Mrs Cafe was originally born as Mr & Ms Cafe. In 2018, it was taken over by a newlywed Malaysian husband-and-wife team, who changed the Ms to Mrs.

If you've seen social media photos of the new Mr & Mrs Cafe, you've spotted their first floor upstairs, pretty in pale pastels of pink, white and teal. With a ceiling that soars twenty feet high, this section showcases double-decker seating, with customers enjoying Eggs Benedict beside tall windows that overlook the lush neighbourhood. Operations here start at 9am.
Mr & Mrs Cafe's street-level ground floor has an open layout with lots of natural ventilation, complete with tiled floors that evoke classic KL coffee shops. It also starts serving at 9am, with highlights such as nasi lemak, roti bakar and fried chicken. This section is pet-friendly.

The cafe takes pride in premium produce, including Norwegian salmon, buttery-soft Australian avocados, Australian baby spinach and Japanese sweet potatoes. All ingredients hail from halal suppliers.
