1. Sunday Morning Coffee Shop

Hidden on the second floor of a Bandar JB shophouse, Sunday Morning Coffee Shop is a Japanese-inspired cafe with light bites, coffee, and desserts. The cafe is usually quiet on weekdays, and we recommend sitting at the tables by the window with a good book. Here, you’ll find a few select mains, including Japanese Curry Rice (RM24), Curry Udon (RM24), and Mentaiko Udon (RM34). The cafe also offers drip coffee from RM13 and lattes from RM14.
