Ampang Hilir has welcomed a new cafe in the neighbourhood–introducing No Coffee No Brain. While its unique name may have caught our attention, its mid-century modern interior equally stands out. Their menu features a variety of classic coffee beverages and signature creations that merge espresso with a twist. For instance, Dark Side of the Moon is a blend of iced black coffee topped with creamy cheese foam, while the Sun-Kissed Roast infuses double espresso and zesty orange juice. Don’t worry, matcha lovers can explore their Zen on the Beach (matcha and coconut water topped with creamy foam) and Citruz Zen (Zesty yuzu and matcha).
