Artisan Coffee Bar

GOOD: I do enjoy the coffee here and also appreciate the small menu they have as it makes my choosing my drink of choice much easier. Expect to get good, fuss-​free coffee without any frills like you would at Starbucks or Coffee Bean.
BAD: The WiFi here really gets on my nerve as it disconnects every 15 to 20 minutes which makes getting work done here an absolute nightmare. Drinks are also slightly pricey.
OVERALL: More of a social coffee spot rather than a spot to get some work done.

Artisan is a very nice coffee branch alternative to starbucks /​coffee beans, they really serve nice coffee and cakes. They have speed wifi and comfortable seats if you can catch an empty one. Only downside is they do not serve jaffa slices anymore which was perfect friend for my long black coffee

You can find me here at least once a month. It is the only café I’ve been to so far that offers green tea latte other than starbucks of course.
Plus it comes with NO SUGAR which is a plus point for me as I have a disdain for sweet drinks.
Wifi connection here however, is quite bad for me although it works for my colleagues so it might just be my laptop after all. The ambience is great — situated right in the middle of bangsar village 1 with stores all around you’d expect that it’d be noisy but not at all!
In fact if you go on weekdays it is very calm and ideal if you’re contemplating studying or working from the café. Haven’t tried any of their pastries though (being healthy and all) but they do tempt me every time I make a trip there. I’ve only ever tried their green tea latte, in fact that’s what I go there for. And I’ll keep ordering this until I get sick of it (probably never).
Staff are very friendly and smiley — I once asked about their socket points and the kind lady behind the counter pointed to 2 available slots.
Definitely recommend Artisan Coffee if you want good coffee and a good place to chill or work from.

Artisan Coffee Bar is one of those places in Bangsar where, like everything else over there, skyrockets to a certain amount of fame and popularity, then hit the dirt and go straight down to earth.
I might be exaggerating things, but it is true. While its coffee still retains the fresh, acidic goodness, most of the pastries there are not homemade, and choices of any other drinks other than coffee are severely limited, thus making this place more of a stall rather than a café.
Harshness aside, if you are up for a decent cup of coffee in Bangsar, you may find yourself trudging into this place finding one. Other than that, there are better options other than this one, and trust me when I say ‘better’. Ha. Ha. Ha.

If you wanna have a quick coffee or a meeting in Bangsar, in a chill place with a big variety of coffee I recommend you this bar.
I had yesterday a meeting there, and I was impressed of the sped of service and the quality of the coffee. I’m a coffee lover, so it’s easy to identify a good coffee.
Another great thing about this place is the design which for me is very important.
If you are not a coffee lover you may be disappointed with this place, because they have limited choices of drinks without coffee.
But the homemade cakes and brownies are very good.

I was there a few times and really like their brownie with ice cream and the coffee. I
t is a nice place to go if you want to write or get stuff done, as long as you don’t need the internet. They offer free wifi, but you need to register in order to use it and it isn’t very good.
But it is a nice environment to be by yourself if you have tasks to do that don’t require internet. They have big red couches that tend to be vacant most of the day, but not during the weekends. The staff was nice and friendly and, overall, I’ve had a good experience there. Will be coming back for that brownie + ice cream!

Artisan Coffee Bar is in Bangsar Village II on the second flour. I actually got lost the first time I tried to get there as the map showed me Jalan Telawi 1 with no mention of Bangsar Village II. but no worries the place is worth it, they have an amazing cappuccino and good chocolate with nuts cake to go with it.
The place is loud though, so it’s really hard to have a conversation in there with loud music and people’s conversations trying to go over the loud music, can look crazy really. so basically this place is good for casual meet ups but surely not for long conversations :)

I like the coffee and desserts (mainly the chocolate brownie) offered in Artisan. My friends and I go there all the time when we hang out. Seeing as I have a vegan friend, I pay attention when a café offers soy milk (which artisan does). Believe it or not, a lot of cafes actually don’t offer soy.
The atmosphere of the café is really lively and a great place to do catch up sessions. However, keep in mind that during the weekends it can be hard to get seats and can also be somewhat noisy. The free wifi is nothing to get excited about seeing as it’s reallyyyy slow.

If you’re looking for a place to get some work done, I would suggest a different venue. Yes, this place has free WIFI but it’s slow. On top of that, you have to register yourself before accessing the WIFI connection — it can be a little annoying. The café is somewhat like a pop-​up store with lots of open space thus it can be quite noisy. Personally, I don’t like to work in a noisy environment and I’m not skilful enough to tune them out.
The coffee there is pretty decent but I dislike their small selection of tea. There wasn’t even a Chamomile option so I was pretty disappointed. Their menu is very helpful though when you’re in an indecisive state by answering a couple of Yes/​No questions. The staff are generally less friendly compared to the outlet at TTDI or Section 13, PJ. Maybe they dislike the noise level as well?
There are ample spots to sit and a couch section for you to chill. Seats aren’t very comfortable but they are aesthetically pleasing. Their food range is quite limited as well — only cakes, slices and salad boxes sold. So if you’re hungry, you might have to seek elsewhere. I’ve noticed that their infamous cheesecake is no longer part of their cake selection (to my dismay). I LOVE Artisan’s cheesecake — their secret is this small dark chocolate layer above the crusty base. I hope its not removed from at their TTDI and PJ outlet as well.
Often, I visit this place out of convenience. It’s an easy place to have a quick meetup session or just to kill time. Other than that, I doubt you will find me here to get some work done.
