Old Town White coffee, Pavilion

A favourite household name with a branch in Bukit Bintang. Old Town White coffee, with its wooden tables and chairs, provide ample space to unwind or to catch up on work is and always has been a favourite coffee shop in Malaysia.

Basic Malaysian dishes on the menu attract customers along with the guaranteed WiFi connectivity.

Wizards At Tribeca

Catering to the higher end clientele, Wizards At Tribeca isn’t a cheap coffee shop in Bukit Bintang.

Customers pay slightly more than the going rate to receive the excellent and prompt service and for the gastronomical experience found nowhere else in Kuala Lumpur. Expect to pay in the region of RM 50 ($12.80) for a light meal and coffee.

Café Capitol

The interior exudes an air of nostalgia with wooden chairs and marble tables along with mosaicked tiles forming the elegant decorations. But the best features lie in the menu, availability of Malaysian food and rock-bottom prices. Grab a Nescafé ice and plate of nasi lemak and expect to spend no more than RM 10 ($2.55).
