At the edges of Kuala Lumpur lies Pandan Indah, a suburb that’s known to be the home of light industries and housing developments.
There are many eateries in Pandan Indah that cater to the locals.
These calm and peaceful Pandan Indah cafes are part of those eateries too.
They’re great for finding some respite from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Here’s our favourite Pandan Indah cafes that you must try.
Googoo Gaagaa Coffee
Their bold red theme is probably what catches your eyes first.
However, walking into Googoo Gaagaa coffee will give you a clearer picture of what they offer: a cosy, organic interior that hides a private sitting area at the back.
Moreover, art lovers will appreciate the fact that there are many Avant Garde pieces dotted throughout the cafe, including sculptures and paintings.
Despite not having a very extensive menu, they excel at what they offer.
They’re known for their sandwiches, especially their Signature Shrimp Sandwich and Grilled Chicken Quesadillas.
