Why it is our number one: This is for the chocolate purist who values bean quality and artisanal luxury over mass-market sweets. We suggest it for those who want a high-end, curated experience that feels more like a boutique than a standard cafe.

Why it made the list: This is the place for heavy hitting, decadent dessert pairings, specifically the first of its kind cinnamon rolls topped with artisanal gelato in Kuala Lumpur. We suggest coming here when a standard cake just won't satisfy a serious sugar craving.

We are not giving this one a Vie Score: only 2 people have posted about it for this dish, and we do not score anything under 3. It is on the list because what we did find is worth knowing.
Why it made the list: While widely known for their bread, the Bangsar outlet is where we go for some of the best sourdough pancakes in the city. The contrast of the crispy edges and fluffy interior makes it a breakfast-style dessert that holds its own against specialized cake shops.
