There aren’t enough great bakeries and sandwich places in Malaysia. Either the bread isn’t spectacular or the fillings are your usual mayo laden tuna. This is precisely why I was excited to try out this spot after hearing all about the wonderful bread and the promise of delicious sandwiches.

This bakery has a small seating area where you can choose some pastries to indulge in or there’s a chalkboard with the specials of the day for a more substantial meal. All the treats here are baked fresh daily with no added preservatives or artificial substances and on Wednesdays and Saturdays organic bread is available. They even have a specialty known as the broom bread. This is filled with grains that sweeps through your digestive system and cleans it. What a fun name for a loaf of bread!

We decided to sample a few of the sandwich specials; the smoked chicken, roast beef, and beef pastrami. The smoked chicken is served on thick grain bread slices with a chunky basil tomato salsa. This is very tasty as the smokiness of the chicken slices pairs well with the fragrant salsa. My favourite is the roast beef sandwich that is served on a ciabatta with relish. The beef slices are tender and moist and I enjoy the crusty bread. I wish that they would use a grain or spicy mustard though instead of the bright yellow American mustard. The most interesting of the sandwiches however is the beef pastrami on a croissant as this is topped with mango slices. The sweetness of the mango offsets the salty pastrami and the buttery flaky croissant finishes it off perfectly.

"Freshly baked treats"

You can’t go to a bakery without ordering a pastry or two and so we decided to finish off the meal with a cinnamon swirl, chocolate bun, and chocolate croissant. The cinnamon swirl is literally dripping with the sticky sweet glaze as we rip it apart. It’s not tooth achingly sweet though which I like. The chocolate bun is soft and on the inside it’s filled with gooey goodness. I also enjoy the flaky croissant filled with a generous serving of chocolate.

Speaking of chocolate, do try their hot or cold chocolate. Their signs claim that it’s seriously chocolatey and indeed it is. Rich and creamy with a little froth…yummy! The coffee served here is also very good, the latte has a delicate balance of bitter coffee and creamy milk.

My only gripe is that the seating area is not very baby friendly. The tables are high with barstool chairs and they don’t have any baby seats. I had my 6month old nephew in tow so we had to balance him on our laps as we ate. So if you have a baby with you I recommend taking your pastries home for a more comfortable experience.
