House of Wheat Vie Score 88

The one to send someone to

88/100

Why it is our number one: We recommend this spot strictly for the aesthetic-driven crowd who want 'mid-range' pricing for visually impressive treats. While the interiors are stunning, we suggest sticking to the lattes and being wary of the kitchen's more adventurous pasta dishes.

What the comments say, which is usually the honest bit:

Where people do not agree: Service has been criticized as poor with staff needing better communication training.

Honestly I still don't know what that drink was although they were both very tasty.

13DE MARZO (Pavilion Kuala Lumpur) Vie Score 61

Good, and well liked locally

61/100

Why it made the list: We rank this as the ultimate 'gimmick' cafe in Pavilion. You are going for the teddy bear that accompanies every drink, which is worth it for the photo, but don't expect it to be your daily caffeine fix.

pov: you visit the viral teddy bear cafe in KL every drink comes with a teddy bear

Popular in Kuala Lumpur, but not for coffee

People post about these places plenty. What they post about is not coffee, so they are not ranked above, and we would rather say that than pad the list.

How we rank

1Every place, then only the right onesEverywhere serving coffee in Kuala Lumpur proper. Anything in a neighbouring area filed under the same name is dropped.
2We read what people posted15 posts on TikTok and YouTube, including what is said out loud in the videos and what the comments say underneath.
3Ranked on that, not on starsOur judgement decides what each place is for. The Vie Score is built only from what people who ate there said.

Researched and written by the Vie food desk. Assembled by our own research pipeline from public posts, every one of them named and linked above, and published under Vie's editorial judgement. No placement in this guide was paid for.

Google stars are not part of it, on purpose: everyone already has those. Too thin to judge means no score at all, which is why 2 of 7 places here carry one. Nothing in this guide is paid for.
