Coffee explorers & a shot of creativity. On second thoughts, make that a double.
We are located in the heart of KL city, in the old neighborhood of Pudu; VCR brings you fresh coffee daily. The café, built in the 1927 is situated near the old Pudu Jail. The story goes that our lil’ black house in Jalan Galloway was where most wardens used to stay (hence the name Galloway).

Where old architecture meets our modern twist, it’s a place where good things never gets old and it always feels like home. Located in an unsuspecting house, we’re the people responsible for the smell of coffee that permeates the neighbourhood. Run by a team that’s dedicated to always giving you the very best coffee and experience, we believe coffee is the catalyst that brings people together.

We’re a bit introverted, but do say hello to our baristas as we say “Hello, welcome to VCR!”.

    Long black is tasty and strong, wakes u up immediately. Nothing to boast of in chicken waffles, but it is definitely fluffy and delicious with the maple syrup. However the signature big breakfast could have been done better. Chicken sausage is dense without flavours, and beef bacon is tough but good that it is not too salty. Scrambled eggs and bread is a good combo that cannot go wrong. Overall delicious and very comfortable place to dine at. They even have a second floor with nice seating

    I recently dined at this charming café for both breakfast and dinner, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. For dinner, I had the spaghetti, which was absolutely delicious with a unique fusion twist. It was a bit too spicy for my taste, if you can’t eat spicy food, you can request a milder version when ordering.For breakfast, I tried the signature big breakfast. While it’s a common offering at many cafes, this one stood out with a delightful twist that made it distinctly flavorful.The atmosphere of the café was pleasant, making it a great spot to relax. I was actually recommended this place by a Grab driver who often drops passengers here, although he hadn't tried the food himself. Thanks to his suggestion, I’m glad I didn’t miss out on such delicious meals during my stay in Kuala Lumpur. Overall, a fantastic dining experience that I highly recommend!.

    Super cool breakfast place! Relaxing atmosphere and chill vibes. Quite pricey but very delicious. The avocado toast portion was just right, personally I think the iced latte could be a bit bigger. Staff super friendly and welcoming. I would love to come back!

    Went to VCR Cafe – my 6th time here! My go-to breakfast order is always the soft shell crab burger. It’s so juicy and tender, total mouthgasm! Not a huge fan of the black bun though; I miss the old look! Maybe it’s just for Halloween? It doesn’t look as good in photos, but the taste is still amazing.My friends got the big breakfast, and the scrambled eggs were perfect, still runny and soft. As for Pennsylvania Soul, they never disappoint. Love how consistent they are; the chicken is always delicious.

    Atmosphere & service: Love the industrial architecture of the cafe. It look small from outside but it’s actually well design and structured. The service provided by staff is amazing and very attentive. Love the fast paced of service provided by them.Menu & price : Menu consists of varieties of foods and drinks that focus on breakfast-all day - pasta with snacks or kids meals. I think it’s a decent menu and price is reasonable and affordable. However, perhaps today’s calibration of coffee is horrible, as it’s too sour for long black. Same goes for latte. The art on each coffee is amazing, but the drinks are not great or up to coffee standard. As for food, pasta is decent, but sadly, the soft shell prawn doesn’t taste fresh.Cheesecakes are decent, like every store.Conclusion: great place to hangout with friends or family, there’s a lot of food selection and suitable for kids, but cafe should take note on certain aspects to maintain the quality.
