Yuè Coffee Bar, retro cafe in Cheras
While modernity is a sign of progression and growth, we do appreciate the good old nostalgia of the olden days every now and then. And that is what Yuè Coffee Bar aims to do. Nestled in a Cheras neighbourhood, this cafe will transport you back in time with their bucolic ambiance and retro decor.
Authentic wooden kampung house-turned-cafe
Yuè Coffee Bar brings back memories of balik kampung during Chinese New Year as it is set in an authentic wooden kampung house. With their unique yet familiar ambience, you get to experience modern coffee and pastries in a yesteryear setting without even needing to travel away from the city.
