Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie
A trip to Jalan Imbi will be worth it - it’s where you’ll find the most delightful French-style bakery and cafe, located within a cosy bungalow complete with charming patio and neoclassical decor. Enjoy a freshly brewed cup of coffee and savour soft, warm, fresh-out-of-the-oven breads and pastries that taste as amazing as they look. Levain’s goods are baked in a traditional stone oven for that authentic taste and aroma typical of a perfectly baked loaf. From baguettes to meringue cakes to butter cookies, you’ll want to spend an afternoon here, soaking up the atmosphere.

Kenny Hills Bakers
This hidden gem of a bakery might be a little small to consider sitting around and grabbing a bite in-house on a busy weekend, but it is certainly the place to go if you’d like to takeaway some spectacular croissants (apparently the best in KL, according to many), Danish pastries, slices of ooey-gooey-chewy pecan pie, and yep, coffee! There’s no reason why you shouldn’t pay Kenny Hills Bakers a visit, especially if you’ve got a penchant for baked goods - you definitely won’t regret it.
