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!”.

a month agoEvery time I come to KL I make an effort to have breakfast here. The food never disappoints and the staff are always friendly. This time I had the truffle scrambled eggs with salmon and an oat cappuccino. Quality food with the price tag as well ! 🤣 Nonetheless well worth it! Do try out the espresso tonic, a refreshing caffeinated beverage

a week agoFood has healthy quantities and tastes good, but somewhat on the pricey side. I can see why the prices are quite high based on the quality of ingredients used. Ambience and service are great, and very insta-worthy place for breakfast. Their menu seems to have shrinked from last time though, no more pasta and strictly breakfast/brunch based meals.

a week agoThis is my second time coming here for lunch after a long time, and the service is still disappointing and bad as usual. There is no waiter service upstairs, and the Malay waitress had a cold attitude with no sense of customer service. If the service charge were optional, I definitely wouldn’t pay it. The food is ok and average, with nothing particularly impressive. With so many other cafe choices available, I won’t be coming back to this cafe again!

a month agoOverall pricey. Carbonara taste is mild and the generous amount of duck cubes complimented the whole dish. Truffle fries are good, crispy on the outside soft in. Soft shell crab and hot latte is not bad.

3 months agoMay be I set my expectation too high for this cafe. It is okay but nothing above the average, from the vibe, seat comfort, food and coffee. The long black is as tiny as espresso, with a bit more water, the beans are on the acidic spectrum. The English Muffin is good, I like the hint of spiciness added by the sambal chili, better than the commercial chili sauce. Pesto tastes not as strong, it uses arugula instead of basil. Parking is limited (no visible parking lot), better come with Grab.
