Space Cafe in JB near KSL City Malll

If you’re planning a trip to Johor Bahru this weekend, specifically KSL City Mall, include Space Cafe in your itinerary. The coffee and pastry shop is popular for its minimalist aesthetics, interweaved with futuristic elements such as curved lines, metallic furnishings, and rounded shapes.

A 15-minute drive from the customs, Space Cafe is tucked in Holiday Villa Johor Bahru City Centre Hotel. It’s just across from KSL City Mall, which makes it a fantastic pitstop after shopping.

The cafe offers a good selection of freshly baked pastries and coffee, including signature creations such as the Caramel Biscotti Coffee (RM18+/~S$5.80+).

This Dalgona coffee-inspired beverage sees house-made honeycomb candy atop fresh milk, served with espresso on the side. To enjoy, pour in the espresso and mix it all together. The crunchy candy adds texture and sweetness to the coffee, making it an enjoyable treat on a hot day.

There’s also the Orange Americano (RM18+/~S$5.80+), which comprises zesty orange juice, single-origin cold brew coffee, and creamy lime foam.

Head to the glass display of pastries if you’re feeling peckish. These freshly baked goodies are sourced from a local baker, and come in a variety of delicious flavours.

The Viennois Red Bean Butter (RM6+/~S$2+) is a must-try. Featuring soft, chia-crusted bread slathered with smooth red bean paste and a thicc slab of butter, this bun is great for those who love simple flavours.

The Blueberry Danish (RM7+/~S$2.30+), which comprises buttery layers with a rich cream filling and fresh blueberries, is another delicious pastry to order.

Space Cafe opens till midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, perfect for night owls to head to after a whole day of shopping and feasting!
