Three Little Birds. The well-trained baristas also whips up a good filter coffee

Three Little Birds

Top choice in Kuala Lumpur


Top-tier coffee bar and micro-roaster Three Little Birds is manned by the pioneers of third-wave coffee culture in KL: Michael Wilson and wife Amirah Mohammad of Artisan Roast, as well as coffee geek Joey Mah. The trio takes a focused approach to roasting, catering to drinkers who are not only here for a quality cuppa but also a serious education on coffee.

The cafe mostly uses beans from El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama and Kenya for their coffee, and single-origin chocolate from Papua New Guinea for their chocolate drinks.
