The one to send someone to
85/100
Why it is our number one: We recommend this for those who want their desserts with a side of ethics and novelty. Go for the mochi gelato or the 'ugly fruit' creations that turn food waste into stretchy, addictive treats.

Open2 PM to 12 AM, every day
Order thisMochi gelato (chewy and stretchy), Molten cheese tart (mascarpone, parmesan, and blue cheese with a smoky creme brulee crust), Banoffee roly (cinnamon roll) paired with double pistachio brownie gelato, Matcha terim (white chocolate matcha cream block)

Why it made the list: We find this to be the peak of messy, indulgent cake culture in KL. Go for the textures—think gooey, creamy, and unashamedly decadent blocks of chocolate and mascarpone.

Where people do not agree: A little expensive but worth it
It looks like a cake and when you eat it, it's almost borderline gooey. It's indulgent. It's messy.

It has always been my go to place for almond sugee cake as I can’t find any other places that sells this kind of dessert.
Why it made the list: We rate this as the definitive spot for local chocolate enthusiasts. It’s less about simple sweets and more about exploring regional Malaysian cacao profiles through tarts and terrines.
