Cafes in Kampung Baru: ranked picks
Kampung Baru's cafes range from small neighbourhood spots serving pasta and cheesecake to a biker-themed room, a rooftop with tower views and a few Korean-leaning menus. These picks are ranked on rating, review volume, recency and review sentiment, as set out in our methodology.
Kampung Baru sits right beside the Petronas Twin Towers, so several cafes work around the skyline. Street parking is tight, and a few places take card or bank transfer only, so check before you go.
