Cafes these days have got to step up their game. There’s probably an average of 5 cafes on every road. You step into one and you feel like you’ve seen them all. The same decor, the same coffee, and yes, the same old menu.

Here are 6 unique cafes you have to visit in JB to step out of the norm!

Roost, Recycled and Repurposed Café

This is one place where the furniture’s made up of recycled stuff. You’ll find the café quirky, yet welcoming at the same time. Expect to sit on mismatched chairs and take a deep breath as you take in the lopsided bookshelves!

Location: 14A, Jalan Trus, 80000 Johor Bahru
Monday to Saturday: 12pm – 4pm, 6pm – midnight
Sunday: 6pm – midnight

The Ice Cream Project

Vegans will love this place! The ice-creams are made right in front of you with the help of trusty liquid nitro, and you’ll find yourself scooping deliciousness in seconds!

Location: 31 Jalan Dhoby, 80000 Johor Bahru
Closed on Mondays
Sunday to Thursday: 3pm – 10pm
Friday and Saturday: 3pm – midnight

Bev C

This hipster-styled café is one of the top hits on Instagrams in JB. The beverages are handcrafted, and their top choices include the Ice Cube Espresso with caramel and milk.

Location: 54 Jalan Tan Hiok Nee, 80000 Johor Bahru
Closed on Mondays
Tuesday to Friday: 1pm – 11pm
Weekends: 12pm – 11pm

Maco Vintage

If crepes are what you’re craving for, head down here for a slice of their Matcha-Adzuki bean or Bailey’s mille cakes.

They’re so good you won’t want to place your fork down!

Location: Jalan Ibrahim, 80000 Johor Bahru

The Replacement – Lodge & Kitchen

This is one of the latest cafés in JB, and it’s starting to become one of the best too. The decor screams minimalist, and it’s decked in white from its walls to its decor. Give the Friendly Eggs Benny a go!

Location: 33 Jalan Dhoby, 80000 Johor Bahru
Monday to Sunday: 10am – 10pm

Koone

This soft-serve café does the perfect take with matcha. Try a cone of Matcho – it’s served up to you with cornflakes, adzuki beans and topped off with a generous amount of honey. Delicious is the name game here, and they’ve got it down and dirty.

Just the way we like it.

Location: 30 Jalan Dhoby, 80000 Johor Bahru
Monday to Thursday: 1pm – 10pm
Friday to Sunday: 1pm – midnight
