Grumpy Cyclist

Nice ambience and bicycle-​friendly (you can bring your bike in) are the distinguishing features of this nice café in Taman Tun Dr Ismail. The coffee is good and pretty strong. Not tried the food yet but a peek over at the other tables looks appetizing enough.

— The flat white (RM12) today, using a Brazilian blend, is 4.9÷5. The remaining 0.1 is because I like slightly creamier flat whites, nonetheless, topnotch blend.
— The lighting is very comforting with its yellowness
— Tables are food+ hangout size for a group of 4, or work worthy for 2.
— Only issue for me is the slightly tougher chairs.
— Outside set up is very homely due to the «extended» side with a «shipping container». It could actually literally be a real shipping container I have no clue.
— The last cycling I done was an eternity ago, so if you’re really into bikes, this is your equivalent of a DC comics convention for me.
— Customers are usually attractive young adults, lots of people seem to like to date here or have small hangouts.
— Friendly male baristas.
— I really enjoy the toilets and sink.
— WiFi is sometimes choppy.
— Sufficient wall plugs to tables by the wall.

I love the concept of Grumpy Cyclist! For those of you who are cycling/​bicycle enthusiasts, I’d recommend you hang out with these relaxed lot at the Grumps! Coffee is good, food is good, environment is lovely and staff are very chill
I’ve been here many times before and I really appreciate the concept of having a wee repair workshop area for those who need a tweak for their bicycles. You can ask the peeps at grumps to help you out with the maintenance of your bike too! They’re open to helping out
Also, they have a shower open to everyone who needs it, especially you cyclists who’ve had a long day of exercise/​travel/​recreation.
You can have well made coffee and some pancakes while you’re at it! My fav is the Crespella (is that what it’s called?). The one with the chocolate chip pancakes haha. Very generous portion with lotsa berries.
In terms of coffee, the baristas will ask you what type of coffee you favour most and recommend the oz of beans for you. They also have filter coffee and some variations of beans for visitors to try! Just ask and they’ll give you some info.
Anyway, if you want to chill out, have coffee and stare blankly into the horizons as I do every time I’m here with my friends, I’d tell you to give grumps a shot :)

Went here for a business meeting. I suggest you go there by cab because it’s very unlikely to get a decent parking spot.
In terms of food I ordered jamie olivier — it’s a omelette pancake with bacon, it doesn’t look appealing but the taste is scrumptious, and it’s full filling.
The staff are very polite too!

I went to the grumpy cyclist awhile back when I needed to chill somewhere while waiting for a friend. Decided to head here as it was early in the morning and I found a parking spot easily. Usually, after 10 am, its quite hard to find parking around this area. From the outside, it looked like a pretty normal café but it had a really cool interior. A fairly large space too. I ordered a cappuccino for myself and decided to just do my work on my laptop. They have the usual coffee items as well as some simple meals. I did not try the food as I already had breakfast earlier. The price range is pretty reasonable and I felt that the cappuccino was worth the money.

The Grumpy Cyclist is one of those hipster café’s that was all the rage when it first opened its doors. I finally decided to give it a try after all the fuss was over and the massive crowd died down. I have to say i was thoroughly disappointed. We got there about 11am and the place was packed as expected. We sat down and ordered i ordered a coffee and a big breakfast.
We then sat and waited for our food for like 40 minutes and it still didn’t come. We asked the waitress several times and all she could say was I’m sorry miss we are very busy. I was like that doesn’t make sense cause they only have like 8 items on the menu, what could be taking so long.
There was a couple next to us that were getting pretty annoyed as well. We finally got our food like 50 minutes later and we were so starved we just gobbled down the food. I don’t remember the food being amazing, very mediocre and i most definitely wont be going back again anytime soon.

They have cyclist gathering every week, which is a rather interesting concept :)
Their designs are really unique as well, pretty hippie style with bicycles and flower pots around. Well speaking of its name, you will definitely be able to find bicycle spots around.
Drinks were pretty good here, service was fast and pricing was kinda ordinary, like any other cafes we see out there. They have a wide range of desserts here and people usually come here for them.
When I was seated down I observed and eavesdropped a couple of tables and they were all talking about cycling :)
Parking will be a problem here when you come on peak hours. So pray hard that you get one when you come here!

I’m always excited whenever someone suggested to try a new coffee place. This café is very near my previous work place and we passed by this shop almost everyday whenever my colleagues and I go out for lunch. One day, my colleagues suggested that we come here for lunch and celebrate one of my colleague’s birthday.
That was my very first time here. It was just a simple lunch. Most of us ordered their breakfast meal while some of us ordered pastas. Their food was alright. What’s special about this place is more to its decorations. The decoration of this place obviously showed that the owner of this place is either a cyclist or bicycle fanatic. From the name of the shop, he might be a grumpy one too! Lol.
Last year, they were closed for a period of time. At first I was a little upset because I thought they were closed for good. However, thankfully they’re just close for upgrading. Worry not, Grumpy Cyclist is still up and running!

Grumpy Cyclist — a quirky bicycle themed Café. Seeing the the staff were young good looking locals that spoke good English and were really hands on in everything (from preparing the food to taking orders), I’m assuming that they’re the owners of this Café. Young entrepreneurs, way to go!
I ordered a spicy Aglio Olio (I always seem to be ordering this). It was quite nice but the price was steep. That day, something went wrong with the cashier machine and the orders were mixed up and my colleague had to wait extra long for his food. But the cashier dude apologized gracefully so all was well I guess.
Nice place to chill if you have extra cash to spend.

Beautifully decorated, hipster and spacious interior with bicycles as hanging displays. Cyclists would definitely love to bask in the ambience here. Apparently, there’s also shower rooms for cyclists to freshen themselves up here — but not too sure how it works or what the real deal is. There is also a space for cyclists to «park» their bicycles while getting some down-​time at The Grumpy Cyclist.
Sat down here one weekday to complete some work. Had a regular cappucino and some Red velvet cake, which was superbly moist and delicious.
Staff are cheerful and friendly. When I went on a weekday mid morning, it was quite empty, so I got paid extra attention and he waiters would come by regularly to refill my empty water glass bottle throughout my 6 hour stay there (yes I do drink a lot of water).
Wifi connection was a seamless experience with little to no speed delay. I would highly recommend The Grumpy Cyclist as a café to sit in if you’re looking to work offsite for the day. A great ambience, very relaxing and modern, excellent staff team and service and good coffee and food (have to try the red velvet cake!). Most definitely recommend this place. If I wasn’t living too far away, I’d definitely come back here more often.

Grumpy Cyclist is a really interesting concept with their own bicycle workshop on the front of the shop, took several shots of photographs there. I thought it was pretty cool with their cool shadow lighting and hipster ambience. I even bumped into sheena liam there once. It was a pretty interesting crowd that goes to Grumpy.
Coffee and cakes there are decent. Hot chocolate is a little bit on the bitter side if you like your hot chocolate bitter. I’m not sure why but I took notice of their bathrooms as well, thought it was pretty cool, the décor. The even have shower stalls for the cyclists that come by. How wicked is that!

Ironically, the staff at Grumpy Cyclist aren’t grumpy at all! They are very nice and friendly. However, I don’t know whether it was just that day, but when I went, the service was very slow. I understand that there was quite a number of people but still, 40 minutes to deliver two pancakes?! The pancakes weren’t actually anything to cry about. It wasn’t fluffy enough. I ordered the Crespella and the Apple Cinnamon Pancakes. Both were pretty good but the trouble was, for the Crespella pancake (which was chocolate chip pancakes), there was not enough chocolate chips. I tasted a lot of the pancake alone which wasn’t all that great.

Café + bicycle workshop
Grumpy Cyclist really take their cycling seriously.
The café is decorated with spare bicycle parts. Their front door has bicycle handles instead of the usual door handles.
The café is decorated with a minimalistic approach and is complimented by the wooden furnishing.
The bicycle workshop found inside the café is located inside a metal container in the café. Quite eye catching if you ask me.
I had an Iced Latte, it was alright. Nothing to shout about.
The establishment also serves ice cream from «Inside scoop»

Well what more can I say about Grumpy cyclist. It is an amazing place to come and chill at any possible time of the day. It’s atmosphere will definitely, give you the most chillest vibe you could possibly ask for. Grumpy Cyclist is a nice coffee café located in TTDI (Taman Tun Dr Ismail). The cool thing about this place is that, if you are a bicycle fanatic and you wish to have a cup of joe and get your bike serviced you can do both of that at one location. How much more cooler and easier could life get, RIGHT? :)
Anyways, lets talk more on their service, I am amazed every time I walk through the doors of Grumpy Cyclist, because the staff here are nothing but grumpy. They are the most friendliest and down to earth bunch of people you could ever meet. I swear, they would welcome you with the biggest of smiles: D and also the biggest WELCOME you could possibly get. In addition to that, they always try their very best to have a nice conversation with you and they are always so helpful.
If you are a coffee fanatic, but do not know much about your coffees just like me do not worry, the staff here would love to help you. They always try and find out a bit more of what you like before they actually make a recommendation for you. I like how they try to get to know you before they recommend a coffee, that just shows me that they really want you to enjoy what you drink and not just sell you anything because «BUSINESS IS BUSINESS ». That being said they also do offer lunch here, if you wish no come and have your lunch here that would be a good idea. But the only downside is that their kitchen closes relatively earlier compared to most Cafes.
That being said if you are around the area and are wondering where to go and chill. THE GRUMPY CYCLIST is the place to go to. :) Enjoy.

So I was shopping about for a café to bring a foodie, out-​of-​town friend to for a visit and despite being armed with an arsenal of coffee joints, I really wanted to check out a place that I had never been to. The Grumpy Cyclist came by at the recommendation of a TTDI friend and because I’m a sucker for novelties and creative names, I decided to check it out. Let’s just say that the first half of the name doesn’t really do the joint much justice as the staff is made up of some of the friendliest folk and the atmosphere is constantly abuzz with friendly chatter that sets a nice welcoming tone. Inspired by the owner’s love for good coffee and cycling, this is a great hangout spot for people to enjoy freshly prepared coffee and desserts regardless of whether or not they are cycling enthusiasts. The décor is contemporary and obviously inspired by the owner’s love of the humble, two-​wheeled transportation device and there’s even a shower for cyclists to freshen up after a sweaty bike ride because let’s be honest here, being smelly with perspiration dripping down your neck is really not the way to enjoy a good cup of artisanal coffee. Come on people, let’s class it up a notch
