It seems that students in Malaysia do better when they study outside of their usual study space. We are fortunate to have a wide number of cafes to choose around KL, each of which exudes a calming atmosphere and has cosy furniture that is ideal for studying and holding meetings. Students faced this kind of issue when they go to cafes which one has to be mentally prepared for the emotional toll it will take when it comes time to pay the bill. However, this is not always the case. The majority of cafes are recognised for serving cuisine that is rather costly but comes with the ambiance and the “Instagram factor” of the interior design. So, here are some cafes in Kuala Lumpur where you can study in a good environment that will keep you going.
Cafe Anunzio
What a great opportunity for Taylorians to relax and unwind at this cosy cafe after a hectic day of classes! Cafe Anunzio, which can be found at Jalan Taylor’s, Subang Jaya, is an instant success with the students, and additional points are awarded for its basic but aesthetically pleasing cafe, which is suitable for Generation Z nowadays. It is a cafe that has both plush interior dining and quaint outside eating at the pool front.
Cafe Anunzio will bring a lecture hall full of grownups back to college for modern crowd-pleasers. Their burgers & sandwiches, rolls & wraps, pastas & lasagne are as warm as hugs and kisses, while their variety of pizzas, pakistani foods, and other western cousines that will keep youngsters delighted with the best taste in town. Naturally, the primary reason to stop by this cafe is to take a good look of their wallet-friendly menu that will drive students absolutely bonkers.

Strangers at 47
This little café in Section 17’s less-populated retail lots has a peaceful ambiance and friendly employees. This cafe, which only took 7 minutes from CITY University is the best option for students there to dig in. What we love even more about this cafe is the philosophy that drives it. It is famous for the range of handmade crepe-based savory and sweet dishes that it serves, and these dishes pair well with the standard coffee fare. The café, which has a vintage industrial design, is elegantly adorned with old warehouse pendant lighting and wooden furnishings to give the area a more cosy and private atmosphere. The interior also has a vintage industrial look.
I have to say that I agree that Strangers at 47 is the ideal location for getting together with loved ones and friends to indulge in scrumptious and comforting food. Crepes from Strangers at 47 have a wide variety of flavor combinations that are sure to pique students’ interest, so give them a go if you’re looking for something light to eat. They cater to the needs of the consumer by offering both savory and sweet crepes, so you are free to experiment with the flavor as much as you want.

Pokok KL
It is a fortunate circumstance for MAHSA students that their campus is home to the most Instagrammable cafe in town. Pokok KL emanates a basic style that emphasizes the glass façade, which extends from the floor to the ceiling and all the way up to the rooftop. The building gives the impression of being an urban greenhouse. The structure is further strengthened by fine black metal lines, and it is finished off with exposed brick walls for a rustic touch that maintains the appeal of simplicity. Although there is air conditioning inside, if the sun is shining on your table it may cause it to get a bit warm. However, Students are able to do their assignments in comfort despite the conditions.
The style is a mishmash of contemporary and traditional elements. The menu of Pokok KL Cafe has over twenty different food items, including soup and small snacks, a breakfast platter, spaghetti, salad, nasi lemak, and dessert, along with a croissant, pies, and other types of pastries.

95 Degres Art Cafe
95 Degrés Art Cafe is a modestly sized coffee shop that is owned and operated by its proprietor and is found at SS15 in Subang Jaya. It is a café with an Australian theme that serves Western food and strives to use the freshest ingredients possible in its dishes. Both the quality of the cuisine and the atmosphere at this café have earned it a loyal following.
So what they are saying is that this café is relaxing to look at, both in terms of the decor of the cafe itself and the appetising appearance of the food. It is stated that the café has a calm and relaxing atmosphere. 96 Degres is an oasis of tranquility that is ornamented with artwork on every wall. It rises above and beyond the busy surroundings of SS15 and shines a spotlight on cuisine that is unexpectedly embellished, flawlessly prepared, and attractively priced. Because it is just 600 meters away from the INTI University campus, this café is convenient for students to visit when they are there.

LOKL Coffee Co
Some coffee shops are little more than locations to get a cup of joe, but others have evolved into full-fledged hangout institutions, the kind where you can go in at any time of day or night and be sure to run into someone you know. SEGi students who are working on group projects or doing revisions may be found in LOKL, which is conveniently located just across the street from the SEGi college KL campus. The café provides a relaxing environment, with white furniture and exposed brick walls as the primary design elements. There is a rather little amount of seating accessible here; however, if you would rather study in an atmosphere that is more open, warmer, and brighter, you may dine outside in the courtyard.
Despite the fact that LOKL has likely attracted a sizeable number of visitors at this point, it continues to be one of the most well-liked coffee shops in the city for locals. Aside from the Buttermilk Chicken Waffle with Apple Cider Syrup, the ‘instagrammable’ decor and on-point brunch atmosphere at LOKL Cafe are two things that we like about the restaurant at all times.
Address: 30, Jalan Tun H S Lee, City Centre, 50100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Opening hours: Mon, Wed-Sun (8AM – 5PM), Tue (8AM – 3PM)
The price range for food & beverages: RM7 – RM45
