Botanica + Co offers a one-of-a-kind garden dining experience, with floor-to-ceiling windows that open up to lush greenery in both directions, much like a glass home.
You’ll be unlikely to find another cafe that compares to Botanica + Co, with its scrumptious cuisine and stunning scenery.

Address: 8, Jalan Kerinchi, Bangsar South, 59200 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur.

8. Bukku Café

Though not an official Muji store, the minimalist furniture, white-toned walls, and wooden furnishings in this Japanese-style cafe are obvious Muji influences. There is also an enclosed picnic area in the backyard. If you’re visiting at night, we suggest this choice because the lighting outside is completely stunning.

9. La Fleur Café

Rainbow and unicorn cookies, which are too perfect to consume, are the specialty of this La La Land-inspired cafe.

But don’t hesitate if you want to take a selfie with your friends; the crew is always willing to assist.

Address: 01, E1, 02, Jalan Lagoon Selatan, Sunway Geo Avenue, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor.

10. Urban Daybreak

Urban Daybreak is one of those spots that are ideal for a weekend brunch get-together. This alluring cafe, housed in a cozy shoplot in Bangsar, is a huge success with the locals.

Although the exterior of Urban Daybreak is appealing, it is the food that really captures your heart. This well-known brunch spot practically puts art on a plate. Nasi lemak is recommened. You could spend hours feeding your camera instead of yourself.

The Hungry Tapir’s key colour scheme is pink with a hint of natural greens, similar to Therefore Cafe.
Hungry Tapir’s menu is mostly vegan, able to convert even the most adamant carnivores. Aside from delectable vegan and vegetarian fare, the cafe also serves a range of coffees, teas, and drinks to accompany your meal (and provide more content for your Instagram feed).

Address: 135, Jalan Petaling, Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur

13. Jibby By The Park

15. Chocha Foodstore

Chocha Foodstore is an Asian inspired restaurant that offers asian-influenced flavors on the modern menu. They also offer a calm garden cafe. The decor is also quite beautiful – it’s nice that they’ve preserved the original colonial facade. The building is a real classic throwback to 60s architecture.

16. Apollo Dining

Apollo dining does not fall under Instagrammable Cafes in Kuala Lumpur because it is a Fusion restaurant. I have included in here because of it’s insta worthy aesthetic. Plus the natural light pouring from the sunroof makes the place airier than it is. Not only the look and feel of the place but also the food looks instagrammable.

17. Rumaputeh

Rumaputeh has a better landscape now with more greeneries and more spaces to seat. The best part? There are many corners to take photos. So grab your camera and head out there. Perhaps quieter in the fasting period.

Address: 60A, Jalan Kuantan, Taman Tasik Titiwangsa, 54200 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

18. The Orchid Conservatory at the Majestic Hotel

Last but not least, on these instagrammable Cafes in Kuala Lumpur list is the Orchid conservatory at the Majestic Hotel. If it is the ambiance you are after, this is the place for you. Because of social distancing, there are limited seats but it gives you tons of privacy to satisfy your happy camera fingers. Space has a nice splash of color to the overall look and feel of the experience.

Address: The Majestic Hotel, 5, Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin, Perdana Botanical Gardens, 50000 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
