Coffee, popularly known as “Kopi” to the locals, is a popular beverage in Malaysia. It is the preferred drink for many people, and it is not unusual to see hawkers serving hot coffee in Bangsar. Over the past three years, Malaysia has had a 73% spike in coffee drinkers, which has naturally led to an increase in the number of cafes in Bangsar South.
