Forget your fancy cafes and overpriced lattes, folks! Let’s head to Cheras, where the real magic happens at Ebony & Ivory Coffee, a neighborhood gem where comfort food gets a gourmet upgrade and coffee hits like a warm hug.
Step inside and inhale the aroma of freshly brewed happiness. Exposed brick walls and vintage furniture create a vibe that’s both trendy and nostalgic, like your grandma’s kitchen got a modern makeover.
But the real star of the show is the food, oh the food! Their minced pork scrambled egg rice bowl is legendary – fluffy eggs dancing with tender pork atop perfectly seasoned rice, it’s a symphony of textures and flavors that’ll have you begging for more.
Need something lighter? Dive into their creamy tomato pasta with grilled chicken, a tangy love letter to Italian comfort. And for the sweet tooths out there, their homemade brownies are pure, gooey decadence in every bite.
But Ebony & Ivory isn’t just about stuffing your face (although that’s totally encouraged). Their coffee is a serious contender, too. They brew up a storm of bold lattes, aromatic black coffees, and even cold brew and iced latte options for those scorching KL days.
The best part? The vibe. The staff are like your new best friends, always welcoming you with a smile. Whether you’re catching up with your crew, working remotely, or just hiding from the world with a good book and a latte, Ebony & Ivory feels like home.
So, ditch the boring chains and head to Ebony & Ivory! It’s a taste of Cheras soul, a caffeine haven, and a place where comfort food gets a standing ovation. Trust me, your belly (and your Instagram) will thank you.

a month agoFood was very nice but as usual, there was a 20-30 min wait because it was lunch hour & the place was packed. Food portions were reasonably decent. We didn’t stay for dessert because there were many people waiting to be seated. Will return for their cakes soon

3 months agoThis small little cafe located within a humble flat in a Cheras neighborhood in Kuala Lumpur, is a hidden gem beloved by locals. Renowned for its delicious fusion food, the cafe masterfully blends flavors from different cuisines, offering a unique culinary experience. Its coffee, drinks, and pastries are also a highlight, drawing in both regulars and new patrons alike. The interior is decorated warmly and cozily, with soft lighting, wooden furniture, and homey accents that make it the perfect spot to relax and unwind. Despite its modest location, the cafe’s quality offerings and inviting atmosphere have earned it a strong reputation in the community.

2 weeks agoLocated under an old apartment, this cafe brings new life to the neighborhood.Is a small cafe with limited seats available so queue time will be long during peak hours like breakfast / lunch hour.The foods and coffee are great. The foods are mainly fusion of Japanese and Chinese or Western and Chinese.I love the coffee there where you can actually taste the taste notes of the selected coffee beans and some of the speciality coffee drinks like plum coffee which is a good twist added to an americano.

2 months agoI’ve heard a lot about this cafe from different friends over the years, and I finally got the chance to visit it recently.The cakes and pastries are not only visually appealing but also genuinely delicious. The dishes, such as rice bowls and pastas, were homey and decent. The service is consistently friendly.I especially loved the lychee raspberry cake, which I found more enjoyable than the watermelon one. The pastries, which are only available on weekends, are excellent too.Overall, the desserts cater to many’s tastes, as they strike a nice balance of being “not-too-sweet” while maintaining great flavor.The only downside is the parking, it's quite challenging, so you might need to park a little farther away and walk over.

5 months agoWe had been wanting to try this café for a while, so we decided to give it a go on a Sunday morning around 10:30 a.m.The traffic was quite congested, and it took a few rounds to find parking. Some nearby homeowners don’t allow parking in front of their houses, even though the space doesn’t belong to them.The café has a pleasant atmosphere, and the staff are very welcoming. As soon as we entered, we were greeted and assisted with placing our order.We ordered the Watermelon Cake (RM19) and Peach Danish (RM16), along with two Hot Americanos (RM24). While the prices are on the higher side, we wouldn’t visit weekly—maybe once a month.We enjoyed sitting outside, surrounded by hanging plants and the refreshing morning breeze. The pastries were of excellent quality—fresh and light. We’ll definitely be back to try other items.
