As delicious as we remembered it

My friends and I were back after 6 years and it was as delicious as usual!! They also have a clearly labeled menu and something for everyone (gluten free and vegan options). The coffee is also great and the ambiance is super nice. They also have books to trade or buy for cheap!

Pros: Friendly, Yummy, Cute cafe

Great for everyone

Great breakfast and lunch options. The vegan breakfast was great with tons of different items on it (tempeh bacon, housemade fries egg, scramble, sautéed spinach).

A breakfast dream!

They serve a delicious vegan 🥑 🌱 breakfast! I wish they could get 5 stars here, because not only make they a vegan egg but also their own vegan cheese!
They have so many vegan pastries 🥮!
And to top all that it’s served with speciality coffee with latte art and oatly milk.
I ordered the vegan breakfast and added avocado 🥑 and I could not finish it because it was too much - but it was incredible and full of protein. Tempeh, scrambled tofu with spinach and curried chickpeas with sweet potatoes, water melon 🍉, tomatoes 🍅 and sourdough toast.
I got a slice of carrot cake to go and had it later - it was incredible delicious.

The staff were so friendly and fun.
They also have a water station for refills and you can buy their coffee beans and vegan cookies 🍪 there too. They even had vegan cinnamon rolls.

If you walk there be aware that there is no pedestrian walkway on the last bit of the road. Parking there is easy.

Pros: Amazing vegan breakfast , Lots of vegan pastries and cakes 🍰 , Good coffee

Vegans must visit. Amazing coffee, cake, food

I would go here every day if I could. Great A/C, great natural lighting, delicious coffee. The vegan chocolate coconut maple mousse cake was so good. Not cheap- 53 ringgit for 2 oat milk iced cinnamon sugar lattes (lol) and one big piece of cake. But worth it.

Fabulous vegan options

This definitely deserves 5 stars! Great food. There was so much to have on the menu, and although we went with the intention of having the vegan breakfast, ended up ordering the beetroot burger, the huge salad bowl and chips. Portions are huge. Very good value for mine. The staff were helpful and friendly. There were lots of other customers there with almost half being expats. This really speaks for itself. The restaurant itself is cute, stylish and offers different seating areas. A thoroughly great experience if you fancy something western. This was our one exception to eating the local cuisine. Back to that tomorrow 😉

Could be better

We tried the Vegan breakfast set, it was quite heavy to digest. The tempeh was good but the set would have been better without the fake egg.
We also ordered the fruit mix, nothing special.
The staff was very kind and dedicated.

Pros: Attentive staff

Cons: Few Vegan options

Great restaurant to hang out

RGB was one of our favourite places in KL and although it is a bit of a treck to get there, we went twice because of the relaxed vibes and the large choice of vegan food.
The location is not that convenient and you have to do a short walk, but it is nice to explore a residential area and there are trees as well, so we enjoyed it.
The staff are very welcoming and the interior is a nice place to sit and relax. We tried the Nasi Lemak, the vegan pizza with added spinach, the potato rosti and the fried rice, and liked everything. We also took home some sandwiches, cake and cinnamon rolls which were equally tasty. It is not the best food we have ever eaten, but we liked it and enjoyed the overall experience so much. It was also interesting to eat their vegan fried eggs as we had never seen those ones before.
All in all, we strongly recommend a visit here, and it is a great chance to try vegan Nasi Lemak!

Great coffee and vegan options

Excellent restaurant 10 minutes from the Hilton Hotel. It’s as if you are coming to a country house, it’s so calmly. The menu has great breakfast options. The vegan Benedict egg surprised me, it tastes like something mushroom, very interesting, but I wouldn’t take it for a second time. For dinner I ordered pasta with vegan meat balls. That was great. There are also lots of delicious vegan baking. And damn great coffee. So sad that they served meat.

Pros: Great for breakfast , Great for diner , Great bakery

Cons: Served meat, Prices

Great vegan options

This place is fantastic! It doesn't look like much from the outside, but once you open the front door you're greeted with warm smiles and a laid back vibe. Good music, nicely decorated interior and 4 separate seating areas (indoors with air con, indoor open-air space and a small outdoor courtyard. The Vegan options are plentiful and guite reasonably priced for the portions and flavour. I've had the Vegan Big Breakfast, slightly spicy but totally delicious. The Vegan Potato Rosti was delicious too! Great coffee, they don't have coconut milk but they have Soy and I think I recall seeing almond milk too? Don't quote me on that. The Vegan Pizza is so tasty! I'm from Australia which has some pretty good vegan pizza options, but in my opinion the pizza here easily makes my top 3 favourite pizzas of all time list. The Vegan Masala Panini was fresh and full of flavour too. Overall I think this is one of the better places to eat in KL. It's also available on Foodpanda Delivery where you can pay cash to the delivery driver, unlike Grab Food (A great option for foreigners unable to setup PayPal with Grab). Have eaten here twice already and intend on returning several times before departing KL.

Pros: Plentiful Vegan options, Tasty meals, Good portions

Cons: Slightly expensive

Pricey but adorable place

I got the iced salted latte with soy milk and it came to 13 MYR. It was delicious if only a bit pricey. The place is adorable - perfect to get some work done (a few ppl had their laptops with them) or just to sit for a while and read a book from their library. They have a little courtyard too. I saw a lot of vegan desserts and ice cream in the display case.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Relaxing and spacious, Great to hang out in or get some work done

Cons: Expensive

5 stars!!! Delicious, interesting vegan food.

We often miss places that aren't vegan or veggie so I'm really pleased we tried here. The vegan choices are really different and interesting and delicious. We had the rosti because anything that has cashew cream has to be eaten. We also had the vegan waffle and they were both great!! Its so great we've gone back the next day to have it again. Also they have VEGAN CAKE!!! Get a Grab car here, super easy and cheap.

Pros: Amazing vegan food , Big choice , Lovely setting

Cons: Too much choice!!

The best coffee in KL!

This place does a great Malay style big breakfast, and a rosti with creamy cashew sauce that is to die for. They also make the best coffee (soy latte) I had in KL. I was back every morning until I left!

Nice little cafe, good vegan food

It’s a shame this place sells meat, as the vegan food is really tasty here. I had the vegan breakfast, which was expensive, but you get a good portion size. Soy, almond and coconut milk available as well. Downside of course that they sell meat. It is also a bit out of the way, so walking there from the city centre takes a while!

Pros: Good vegan options, Focus on healthy foods and sustainability

Cons: Expensive compared to street food, Sells meat

Lovely food

A little bit of a trek to get to (although of course depends where you are staying!), located in a leafy residential area and has quite a nice vibe to it.
Vegan options well-marked and several of them. Ordered the potato rosti with the cashew cream which was delicious although the tempeh bacon was not very pleasant and really didn't add anything.
Reasonably priced - cheap by UK standards but not by Malaysian! However worth it for good vegan food in KL. Would go back here although would not order anything with the tempeh again.

Pros: Nice setting, Plenty of vegan choices, well labelled

Cons: Slightly more pricey than other places, A little tricky to get to.

Enjoyable

I enjoyed the food and the environment. Though it would be hard to characterize as other-than-austere, the non-mall setting is very appealing. Staff was fine. My pumkin hummus wrap with salad was just RM19.

Pros: Tasty, reasonably priced, not in a mall or hawker

Really nice place with plenty of vegan options

I really liked this place, both the setting and the staff. I had a panini that was delicious, I also added Tempeh for 4MYR and got one tiny bacon style slice on the side that was so thin you could barely see it. I've ordered sides of tempeh at other places for the same price and always got a generous amount. With that said though, I'm defenitely going back to try some other dishes and will also ask about the tempeh.

Pros: Nice vibe, Nice staff

Cons: Add-on tempeh only one tiny slice

Heaven i was graving for this!

After weeks in indonesia (bali left too long) i could not find a great breakfast meal like scrambled tofu, beans with a great slice of real bread! You get free water by the way!
This place finally gave me the best start in the day. I just love tasty food coupled with an amazing soy cappuccino! This was tasty, delicious and filling! And reminded me of melbourne standard (they have amazing food coffee!)!
Even if it sounds like no I am not getting paid for my review I just really appreciated gettin great vegan breakfast and wish them more success and costumer!
Two coffee and two big breakfast was 72 myr what seems to me absolute fair for that taste, size and quality! You can choose also just bread with penautbutter/banana, or a vegan cake if you need something smaller!

Pros: amazing vegan big breakfast, seems pricey but not for what you get!

Cons: if you miss this out!

Nearly very good

This place was nearly brilliant but let down by the baked goods not being the freshest. We ordered a vegan pizza, the crust was super thin which makes it a much lighter meal than you might expect. There were two types of homemade cheese, peppers, mushrooms and a really nice marinated tempe. The taste was delicious and toppings were really generous. We also ordered a hemp burger, the patty was awesome as was the beetroot topping but the bun had seen better days which was a shame. We also ordered the vegan carrot cake, so delicious and packed with nuts, fruit and a good orange zest flavour BUT again, it was a little dry around the edge. There were lots of very tasty sounding breakfast dishes, only available until 2.

Cool and Relaxing

A decent number of vegan options available, so nice to have a variety of dishes to choose from. Portion size is quite generous too and prices are very reasonable. Many books to browse made it a perfect afternoon. You can bring your old books to swap with the ones on the shelves.

Pros: Good variety of vegan dishes, Value for money, Many great books to browse

Cons: Not open for dinner

Amazing hidden gem!

This place was excellent! From the decor to the service to the food, I was incredibly impressed. Plenty of delicious vegan options and 1-2 of the cakes on display are usually vegan as well. A little expensive for Malaysia, I spent 50 RM on a drink, pizza and dessert, but very worth it!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, "Western" comfort food, Desserts

Cons: Expensive

Great way to spend a morning.

The iced coffee my husband got here was, he says, the best coffee he's ever had. Luckily, they also offered a bag of the same coffee beans for purchase.

RGB is located in a pretty, quiet neighborhood just north of KL's busy downtown area. The cafe's layout surrounds a little tiled courtyard, and sitting in the sun having breakfast here felt great. It appears to be frequented by a lot of Western tourists/expats, which makes sense... my husband said that if we lived here, he'd probably come to RGB every day.

Pros: Excellent food and beverages, Pleasant, comfortable environment, Polite and helpful staff
