Lai: The Hideaway Cafe & Lounge @ Bookxcess IOI Mall Damansara

they have one in Tropicana Gardens Mall inside BookExcess! love the environment and drinks! everything taste sooo good, do try out the pastries, cakes too 💖

The price is slightly on the pricey side for a small glass/cup of drinks. The americano is RM10 and I finished it in just 5 minutes. As for the hot latte, it’s very disappointing. You can judge it from the picture. It tastes diluted and it’s very foamy? It feels like drinking latte ‘tarik’ 🥲 but I love the working space there even though it’s quite hot. It’s a good place to get some work done.

Laiyan KL is definitely a nice place to chill, it's a pop up, mobile coffee joint by the main road run from a well kept white Land Rover Defender 110. The owner, Afiq was really friendly and we ended up having a long chat from 10p.m. to 12p.m. Naqib, his brother was making the drinks. Loved his green La Marzocco Linea Mini espresso machine. After my latte I wanted to try something else so he recommended me the non-coffee mocktail, I had the Passion Fruit Mojito and it was really refreshing. This drink was on the house, so thank you so much Afiq.

Dirty table. No tissue. After 10min I ordered a drink from the apps (Beep) I went to the counter, asked for my drink, they haven’t done it. Taking so long to make a drink. A little bit hot because sitting beside the windows. The signature choc is nice… can repeat next time.

Coffee is okay, but the pistachio paste kinda oily for the croissant. Price wise? Standard. Ambience? Nice. Service? Excellent. Lovely place to spend time with your books and surrounded by books as well.
