I've always wondered about this place, and finally made it there because of Pokemon! There is a gym and two pokestops which explains the crowd over the weekend!
Nevertheless, we popped by not solely for Pokemon. It was a friend's birthday and we decided to just chill for tea. I've ordered the Sweet Potato Cake and the Salted Caramel Bingsu. Not too bad, in fact I love the cake! The savoury food did not appeal much from the menu, could give it a try next time.

This was the only tea room available in Fortnum & Mason at point of visi, without a booking and the queue wasn't particularly long.
The afternoon tea set, not the best but it was OK for an affordable session! Not too many things on the plate like the usual afternoon tea spread for those who just wants the scones!
*Reservation is recommended.

We found this place as we were walking around Jonkers.
A little arcade like place, selling overpriced Made in China stuff located outside the cafe.
A nice place to chill, we totally needed the rest and the cup of coffee.
Coffee seems to be priced similarly to KL prices, RM11.50 for a cup of cappuccino.
Earl Grey Orange Chocolate Cake (RM13)
So I ordered that because the cake is very cute and shiny. It was the only odd one among the rest. It was really, so strong chocolate flavours that it covered the earl grey bit. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it despite not being a fan of chocolate!

There is a stretch of shops along the road near Taman Supreme. You should see it along the way to Yulek.
We found this place by accident. We went to another cafe around the area and it was closed. We were so prepared to visit Typica in Ampang since it's only open on weekends and it was a Saturday.
This cafe is great to serve neighbourhood crowd, pretty standard prices. Cakes priced about RM11-RM14 per slice. You'll find some interesting flavours like Guinness Choco Cake. Never knew Guinness could come in a form of cake!
Rose Latte (RM13)
Did not really like their rose latte. The latte itself is very, very sweet and the rose flavour is a little too strong. I felt I was drinking sugar water with a hint of coffee. It was really so difficult to finish.
Green Tea Cheese Cake (RM12)
This slice wasn't too bad, light and fluffy. Not much cheese flavours though. Maybe it's meant to be light.
Cappuccino (RM11) is pretty standard, the ones off coffee machine.
It's really a great place if you live nearby, not worth the hassle to travel all they way if you're no where near. Nothing special. Also, most cafes are run by owners themselves, if not locals. This is one cafe run by foreigners - don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with that. The problem is the reason why owners themselves are in the cafe is because they want to deliver the quality themselves and create a better personal touch. Hiring foreigners to run their cafes is no difference from any of the major restaurants/cafes you see in the shopping malls. So for me, it's really not worth it then. I could have just gone to the mall if I want something so generic.

This area has everything - from high rise to embassies to posh houses. The one thing that stands out is their existence in this area. There are not many cafes around this area and this is one of it. Finally, a cafe to cater to the local neighbourhood!
Seasonal Earl Grey Cake (RM17)
It is most likely the most expensive slice of cake I've pay for in a cafe. Normal cafes are priced about RM14 at most. Maybe it's the area.. There is nothing special about the cake anyway.
I got myself a Babyccino (RM5) because I just wanted something light instead of having coffee. It is definitely suitable for your baby to drink! So milky!
I did not try their brunch plates but some of the plates ordered by tables around us were quite interesting! Now there are more brunch choices in Ampang!

Like it's name, it's just a nice space for Instagrammers to post their Instagram worthy shots.
Regular teabags served in pretty pots, desserts pre-made, not particularly fresh.
All in all, just another pretty cafe in this area for Instagram shots. It's a cool and pretty place but really, nothing worth to make a second visit.

One of those hipster cafes in Ho Chi Minh City
Honestly apart from the ambience everything else were just not so great.
Red velvet cupcakes being overly sweet.
..and coffee? Not sure if I'm having Viet coffee. Didn't taste/smell strong. Or they serve really mild coffee. I'm not particularly great coffee drinker, but I've had Viet coffee many times to realise that it shouldn't be this diluted and mild.
Not sure why is it so popular.... There are other places worth going for than L'Usine. This coffee place is near some of the shopping streets. It could be a place to just chill after a long day but not that place worth travelling to just for it.

According to the cousin, it is a MUST to try Lady M's crepe cakes. Just by looking at their finely baked cakes, I felt the need to try everything!!
Though, I've only resorted to one slice...
One slice of super rich and heavenly green tea mille crepe cake... It looks really heavy but the mousse is really light..
One piece to share, as we had too much to eat for the day.. Though I wouldn't if I could finish it all by myself!
P/S: I'm not really a cake person, but I have to give it a like! I'd definitely their signature crepe cake, or some other selection the next time I step into Lady M! :D

VCR is quite popular for their coffee and brunch choices. It is the corner unit of a row of houses.
Brunch selection starts from RM19. Sounds pricey... Better be good.
It's a very good place for Instagram worthy photos...
Apparently the barista in this cafe won some awards before. I've overlooked the coffee menu, if I realised it earlier I would have ordered the specialty instead of the regular cappuccino. Cakes at the display rack looks pretty neat and it comes with a price tag!
Soft Shell Crab Burger (RM26++)
Great brioche, lightly pan fried with deep-fried soft shell crab. Not too bad! Just a little messy when we started digging into it.

VCR Big Breakfast (RM35)
To me, this is an absolute rip off. The salad is covering the empty white spaces on the plate. The portion is absolutely shocking. Sliced tomatoes, not even half of the tomato used, same goes to the mushroom. One tablespoon of beans, two sausages as long as an iPhone 5, two miserable streaky bacons and eggs. With that kind of sad portion I do hope that at least the eggs are free range or whatever higher quality eggs. It looks "big" because those rockets and spinach are eating up most of the plate! That plate costs possibly RM25 at most. I wouldn't order this anymore, don't see the value in it.

I'm not too sure about their brunch choices, but I'm perfectly fine for a cup of coffee and a slice of cake.

The new hip cafe in Bangsar using rose as the theme, inspired from Pierre hermé I believe.
Red Velvet Cake (RM15) and Rose Latte (RM12) for afternoon tea. The cake is huge and moist! I couldn't finish it all by myself. The rose flavours are super strong, not just your slight hint. It depends on personal preference whether you like it strong just or just a slight hint. Their version is really very strong.
