If you love bread as much as I do, this is one JB cafe you have to bookmark on your next trip across the causeway. Little Bun Cafe has been gaining some traction online for their Japanese and Korean-inspired bakes, inspired by the TikTok-viral Mil Toast in Seoul and Thailand.
The cosy cafe sports a minimalist look with pastel pink tones and light wood elements. There’s also a small merchandise section for you to browse and shop while waiting for your bread!
The cafe offers a selection of brunch mains, pasta dishes, desserts, and their signature Steam Brioches in three flavours: Original (RM22+/S$6.22+), Pandan (RM23+/~S$6.50+), and Walnut & Raisin (RM26+/~S$7.35+). You also get to pick two sauces to enjoy with your bread.
We went for the Original, served warm with a side of Yuzu Sauce and Honey Kaya.
The bread was incredibly light and fluffy, though they weren’t as rich-tasting as regular brioche. We preferred the kaya spread as it had a nice sweetness from the honey, which paired well with the plain brioche.
If you want something more sinful, go for their Yammy Golden Hour (RM29+/~S$8.20+) instead.
This delicious dessert stars brioche French toast stuffed with house-made orh nee and cheese, served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
The yam paste was rich and creamy, yet not too sweet, complementing the crispy edges of the French toast.
Wash everything down with a Tiramisu Latte (RM18+/~S$5.20+), a dessert-like concoction featuring strong espresso paired with creamy milk, topped with cocoa powder.
