Up bright and early? These cafes throw their doors open before 9am!

Who doesn’t love sleeping in? Just the soothing feeling of being nudged awake by your own body clock, instead of a shrill external alarm, is arguably one of the best parts of the weekend.

Sadly, for many of us, we can’t afford such luxury on weekdays. Thanks to work, we’re dragged out of our beds at an ungodly hour when the sun is still in slumber and the city is barely stirring. But, if there’s one thing that could make it it all better, it’s breakfast. There’s nothing like a hearty plate of scrambled eggs and crisp toast paired with a cup of coffee to warm the tummy and chase away the morning blues, are we right?

Now, if you think that we’re merely describing a dreamy fantasy and no cafe would be open in the early morning, think again. KL plays host to a bunch of early bird cafes that open before 9am! Dishing out delicious breakfast grub and caffeine-infused beverages, they’ve definitely got your tummies covered. Hungry, already? Then dive into our gallery where we’ve compiled a list of superb cafes that open before 9am!
