LOKL

saw this place on Instagram and immediately fell in love with the atmosphere. this place was definitely on our «food/​coffee bucket list» for when we visited my family.
the first time we tried to go ourselves, it was quite a hard place to find. we gave up. this time around, my sister took us as she had been there before.
Pros:
— this place serves really good coffee
— had a very relaxing atmosphere and very friendly staff… always smiling
— good food.
Cons:
— food is a little more expensive than what I thought it would be
— it was very hard to find and to get to without the help of a local {unless you hop on a cab to get there}
— this may seem very «first world problem» but the power plugs outside could not accommodate my Macbook charger block. if i wanted to spend my day there, working on my laptop, outside, I want to be able to charge my laptop.
I would recommend for you to go to try the coffee, bring a book or friends because the chilled out vibe definitely calls for either one of them.

The only coffee place near the Masjid Jamek area worth going to. The food can be a bit pricey for lunch but the coffee prices are within the average range.
The cakes are pretty nice especially the caramel mille crêpe but the kopi susu isn’t what it used to be. My past 2 visits, it has a bit of a burnt after taste.
You must must must try the chicken chop. It’s very delicious. I was expecting the usual hainanese chicken chop but was pleasantly surprised with the southern touch ie corn bread, brown gravy and creamed spinach.
They have a pleasant Al fresco area where it’s nice to chill out if it’s not too crowded or hot.

Lovely place for a nice cup of coffee. Their latte is nice but surprisingly their «kopi susu» is also very delicious. A great place to chill out especially in the midst of a very busy part of the city. No parking around here so it’s best if you are walking. The Masjid Jamek LRT station is nearby.

LOKL is located in the center of the KL City, along one of the busy street near Masjid Jamek. It is joined together with a backpacker hostel. There were two reasons of why I paid a visit to this restaurant, first is because we were running of lunch venues; second is because we want to look for a place where we can hang out, sit down and enjoy during lunch hour. LOKL seems like a good place to us due to its cool interior and good ambience.
I remembered me and friend ordered a lunch set to share as the price is really not friendly. It came with drink, main course (burger) and a dessert. My comment on the food would be creative but not enjoyable. It tasted a little weird for us. I paid a second visit after the first experience, we were thinking maybe give it a try again to order something to drink instead, we ordered the ice chocolate. Again, disappointed. I never been there after that although i really love the ambience. But it doesn’t worth the money at all. Some of my colleagues like their coffee and the waiters are friendly. If you are interested, you may drop by to try it out.

LOKL, pronounced ‘Local’ indeed has a very unique name. It is situated at Jalan Tun HS Lee. The first time I went there with my friend, it took us almost an hour to find the café. We could have gave up but I guess after walking around the area for so long, we were determined enough to locate that place. It is definitely a place you would very much prefer to use the public transport and walk because there are rarely any parking spot.
In the afternoon, the place is packed and sometimes booked because it is known to serve good brunch food. I personally never tried any of the brunch meals but I’ve eaten the crème brulee before and it was really yummy! The cappuccino and affogato tasted quite refreshing maybe because we’re so tired from walking. The crowd will die down in the evening and the atmosphere is certainly mellower as you can only hear the music and conversations among your friends.
I adore the toilet design as it gives a rustic industrial look and it is kept clean too! The outdoor space is interconnected with BackHome which is a backpackers hostel. So there are usually a few tourists chilling at the outdoor place.

The little café exudes an old KL type of cool with Melbourne-​style café concept. Décor is minimal with raw brick, peeling wooden tables and pop arts complete the scene.
Coffee variety runs from Italian to local range. There’s also a substantial dessert counter too. Service is very amicable and commendable. Popular amongst backpackers.

LOKL sticks out along the KL streets as its surrounded by mostly hawker stalls. Its probably the only café on that street actually. Their food is unpretentious and has a homemade feel to it. The interior of the place is very cosy, warm and inviting. A drastic contrast to its neighbouring stores. Their French toast was really a winner in my book and it was served with thick, chunky slices of read as opposed to the usual thin, ordinary bread slices. For two slices of bread and a banana, it did cost a little bit too much I would say at RM16.90. Probably not an everyday lunch spot if you’re working in KL as you’d definitely eat into your salary here. For a more savoury option try their Hainanese Meatloaf with bits of chestnut in it. The surrounding area is a little dodgy so do be aware of your surroundings if you’re here late at night.

Located in the city center of KL, LOKL has branded itself with the selling point of being truly ‘local’ with their walls plastered with pictures that each embody various elements of Malaysia, but of course has seen its fair share of globalization with a fusion of western and Malaysian cuisine such as their Hainanese Style meatloaf and standard fare selection of western coffee. If anything impressed me, it was their staff, very friendly and well spoken. The food, eh. Nothing to rave about, Hot chocolate was diluted and the prices aren’t driving any budget friendly foodies to surround the place. Overall, it’s just another place to get some very decent food.
