Coffee Famille

One of the Klang Valley's coziest coffee corners, with a homey intimacy that's very welcoming.

Liquor-laced concoctions are among Coffee Famille's pleasures; the happily named Joy Keeper (RM25) features an espresso tinged with rum and topped with vanilla ice cream and a raisin.

Black and White (RM23) _ kahlua, vodka, milk and espresso.

Mix it all up for a comfortingly creamy concoction.

Teetotalers, try the Rwanda Maraba coffee (RM24++); the menu describes it as having "a crisp lemony acidity with notes of flowers and an aroma of grapefruits." Maybe someday, we'll have acquired the experience to detect all that.

Other creative combos flow throughout the menu, including this apricot-accented Nice Day (RM17), which blends coffee and fruit tea with milk and gula Melaka. No worries, it's nicely mixed, not sickeningly sweet.

Rose, rose, we love you: Wild Dream (14) of iced black coffee, rose honey and milk foam.

There's food too: the house-made rosemary bread sandwiches are excellent, their warm aroma partnering perfectly with fillings like chicken ham, veggies and cheese.
