Contact: +601-4993 3880
In Bangsar South, one of the places to get great coffee is The Farm. Located in The Sphere, this restaurant is already popular for its fresh food, picked from their urban farm. However, it is also popular for its coffee.
To ensure consistency in the quality of coffee served, The Farm sources high-quality coffee beans. Some popular coffee options on the menu include a Piccolo Latte (RM11), a Macchiato (RM10), a Long Black (RM10), and a Cappuccino (RM12).
Almond milk and oat milk are offered as alternatives to dairy milk. Additionally, The Farm has a range of pastries, cakes, buggers, and sandwiches as accompaniments.
Besides good coffee, the ambiance of the restaurant is appealing. The lush green at different spots adds a cosiness to this famous cafe in Bangsar. During the week, you can sit and enjoy coffee for as long as you’d like because the place isn’t so busy.
However, the cafe tends to get busy during the weekend. You may not enjoy the same flexibility you did during the week since the demand for tables is higher on weekends. The Farm gives a two-hour limit to ensure incoming guests get a table. Fortunately, this time is enough for you to eat and relax before you give up the table for the next guests.
The farm opens its doors at 11 a.m. during the week and at 10 a.m. during the weekend. It remains open until late (2200hrs/2300hrs, depending on the day).
