Heya peeps,
Just wanted to share a recent experience my partner and I had at “If Only” café in Kuala Lumpur during our brunch-time café hopping adventure.
Address: Ground floor, Regal House, 1, Jalan U Thant, Taman U Thant, 55000 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur
First Impressions:
Finding the place was a breeze; it’s conveniently located by the roadside and boasts an inviting exterior. The ambiance inside? Pretty spot-on for a café—cozy vibes and aesthetically pleasing. The service was commendable; they promptly offered us plain water as we browsed the menu, which was a nice touch.
The Meal:
We decided to keep it light, opting for simpler dishes since we weren’t in the mood for a heavy brunch. Unfortunately, I can’t recall the exact items we ordered, but I do remember the coffee being quite underwhelming—not justifying its price tag. The food we chose didn’t impress either. Given the café’s ambiance and pricing, we expected more. Perhaps we just picked the wrong items, but spending over RM90 for a few dishes left us feeling disappointed and still hungry.
Final Thoughts:
While the service and interior design are commendable, the food—which should be the star of the show—fell flat for us. We ended up leaving with unsatisfied appetites and sought out another spot afterward for a more satisfying and budget-friendly meal.However, it’s worth noting that other patrons have had different experiences. For instance, a review from The Yum List praised their big breakfast and house-made bread, highlighting the café’s commitment to wholesome comfort food and quality coffee. theyumlist.net
Additionally, Tatler Asia highlighted the café’s beautiful design and diverse menu, emphasizing its popularity among brunch enthusiasts. tatlerasia.com
So, if you’re an interior design enthusiast or someone who appreciates a well-designed café space, “If Only” might be worth a visit. And who knows? Maybe your palate will have a better experience than ours. If you’ve been there and had a different (or similar) experience, drop a comment and let us know!
Till next time,
