Likely to launch 9/9, Kepong's new Lello Coffee Roasters shines a spotlight on single-origins, roasted and brewed with skilled expertise by husband-and-wife team Jayson and S.Y., veterans of KL's coffee scene.
Come for carefully curated espresso-based and pour-over choices (S.Y. is a Certified Q Arabica Grader, recognised globally as a rigorously trained authority in coffee quality evaluation); stay for sourdough specialities, savoury-and-sweet bakes, plus gelato.
This neighbourhood cafe-roastery, currently still a work in progress, represents a personal labour of love. Lello's name is inspired by how Jayson and S.Y.'s young son once pronounced 'yellow,' while its wave-shaped logo is a tribute to how the couple first met on an island.
