You’d be surprised by what some scenic views and good food can do to calm the soul! There are sooo many cafés within Klang Valley that narrowing them down to choose from can be pretty overwhelming.

Perched on the 37th floor of Regalia Residence, this spot promises an eclectic ambience and the best views of the Kuala Lumpur (KL) skyline. This KL café is barely even a year old and is a sister café of Penang’s popular Fly Me To café.
They serve a wide variety of meals, drinks and mouth-watering desserts for you to indulge in as you soak up the chill vibes. There’s not much room for disappointment with this café but be sure to make a reservation beforehand as this spot gets packed!

2. Eden Rooftop Café
This café is considered a “hidden gem” as it’s not that popular (yet) and is located at a pretty secluded spot in Lot 10. With lots of greenery and an affordably-priced menu, this café is also a good location for study/work dates.
It has a cosy feel, with lots of seating available indoors and outdoors if you’re looking for more of a natural breeze. The café is usually quiet, ensuring a chill experience. We recommend coming here for tea time as they have good coffee and plenty of yummy cakes to satisfy your sweet tooth!

3. Base Camp KL
This next café is located at The Row KL (formerly known as Asian Heritage Row), which is a pretty hip spot that houses many unique restaurants and bars.
Base Camp KL adopts a rustic, glamping/camping interior style (as the name suggests). Thanks to its rooftop location, we guarantee this café to be breezy, especially in the evening. The food and alcoholic drinks served here are highly favoured, plus, they’ve got a pretty high rating of 4.5 stars on Google reviews.
What makes this café so special to us is that it’s pet-friendly too! So don’t be surprised if you see some furry animals just chilling here.
We highly recommend coming to this café in the evening to watch the sunset. This spot is also great for friend groups to just lepak for a while to catch-up and get their money’s worth on the food and drinks served.
The menu here is slightly pricey but the vibes are worth it!

We highly recommend the desserts served here! This café also accommodates for special occasions such as surprise anniversaries and birthday celebrations.
Their signature chicken chop is also worth a try.

The dessert selection is pretty extensive, ranging from artisanal pastries to decadent cakes, a must-try if you ever visit this café. This location is unique as it also serves as an event space so if you’re thinking of a space to host a family event, definitely consider Little Salty Café.
Contrary to its name, it is actually quite spacious.
