    Urban Attic

    Shaping up to be CapSquare’s social hub is this partially open-air bar and live-music space. It’s a fine hangout and has hosted KL’s sporadic Pecha Kucha (www.pecha-kucha.org/cities/kuala-lumpur) nights – show-and-tell sessions with local creatives – in the past, too.

    Palate Palette

    Gotta love a place that offers curry popcorn and a drink called Kick in the Nuts. Colourful, creative, quirky and super-cool this cafe-bar is a great place to eat (mains RM10 to RM30), drink, play board games, and check out KL’s boho crowd.

    Lecka Lecka

    Among the several pavement cafe-bars lining Bintang Walk, Lecka Lecka, outside Starhill Gallery, seduces with its wafting chiffon curtains, soft seats and trademark ice creams. Alternatively, puff on a hubble bubble or sip a cocktail.

    J Co Donuts & Coffee

    The wacky donut creations may have cheesy names (Tira Miss U or Mona Pisa anyone?), but they look so damn tasty that it’s difficult to pass this fried dough and coffee operation by.
