Blankspace by Lumo is Paramount Garden’s luminous new canvas for caffeine, creativity and community, a coffee bar that breaches borders with local and international roasters.
Blankspace is spearheaded by brothers Lucas and Rok and their partner Por Hao, returning to Malaysia after nearly a decade of sharpening their skills in cafes and restaurants in Sydney, Perth and Melbourne.
Their passion shines in sourcing, currently spotlighting KL’s Ari Roastery and Brooklyn micro-roaster SEY, plus respected roasters from Chengdu and Shanghai.
Crusty house-baked banana bread with kitchen-browned butter and orange fennel cake complement filter and espresso-based beverages, plus cold-brew concoctions that channel everything from strawberries and Sichuan peppercorn to mango and dark chocolate.
The coffee counter is a stone-smooth bridge for conversations between brewers and believers, with thoughtful touches like sound-absorbing ceiling panels and intimate lamp lighting, framed by blinds that cocoon customers in a soothing sanctuary.
Share your coffee preferences with the team, letting them recommend something new to explore.
With more furnishing en route, Blankspace is still being pieced together, evoking an expressive gallery, its walls expected to evolve with art, now with a sculptural granite-concrete mixed-media masterwork by Yaya Mostapa.
