Guide to Johor Bahru Cafes Part II

Here's a continuation from the previous post (you can view it here)!  More cafes to visit across the border, but this time it's not within walking distance!! I'd recommend taking uber (go to somewhere with wifi first to get your uber) to avoid getting cheated by their taxis. As much as they claim it's by meter, most taxi drivers will quote you a price which is far more expensive!

Jalan Serampang

J.C. Café







J.C. Café is a super pretty cafe located above a bridal studio along Jalan Serampang! Yes, they serve up the cliche monster shakes - we ordered the devil banana chocolate milkshake for just a fraction of the price as compared to Singapore ($6.25)! For food, we had the Agio Olio and Salted egg pasta! Both were really good, tasted home cooked and fresh.

Total spent: RM 53.70 / SGD 17.90
52, Jalan Kelewang, Taman Sri Tebrau, 80050 Johor Bahru, Malaysia 

Coffee Signature




Within walking distance from J.C. Café is Coffee Signature! It's a container concept cafe that is hard to be missed. I really love their all black theme, the aesthetics of this place is so rustic yet cosy (due to the space). I ordered their signature drink - Sweet Rain. 10/10 for the presentation of this drink but the candy floss really started "raining":



haha I was like "how am I going to drink this??' 


Step 1: Slowly dismantle cotton candy, hold on one hand
Step 2: wrap (a ton) of tissue paper around cup holder 
Step 3: drink tea

Total spent: RM 16.90 / SGD 5.70
52, Jalan Serampang, Taman Tebrau Jaya, 80400 Johor Bahru, Malaysia

Taman Pelangi

Living Room Cafe




Came across this cafe literally by chance because we were intending to go to Headmost Cafe at Taman Pelangi but it was CLOSED DOWN ugh. Living Room cafe was just along that stretch so we decided to just give it a shot and the food and drinks turned out pretty decent! You have to try the Cereal Chicken Chop!

Total spent: RM 57.10 / SGD 19.20
G-03, Plaza Mentari, Jalan Kuning, Taman Pelangi, 80400 Johor Bahru, Malaysia

Jalan Dhoby (same area as the cafes mentioned in my first blog post)

Sangkaya - Nuts about coconuts!








Sangkaya - serving Bangkok style coconut ice cream! They have other flavours apart from coconut - Thai milk tea, chocolate coconut and matcha! All are pretty good and essential in the cray Johor heat ~.~

Total spent: RM 25.80 (1 set for RM 12.90 - 4 flavours of ice cream) / SGD 8.70 
14, Jalan Dhoby, Bandar Johor Bahru, 80000, Malaysia

Roost Cafe




Never stepped into Roost before because I always had the impression that they only serve salad and yogurt until I went to Jalan Dhoby at night (for the first time) and most of the stores were closed. We ordered their beef meat balls which was okay and their baked tomato egg and mushroom soup which was literally one of the best things I've ate! It was so good!! Their raspberry and passionfruit lemon tea was pretty nice as well (I like my iced teas shaken so theirs does the job).

Total spent: RM 48.60 / SGD 16.40
9, Jalan Dhoby, 80000 Johor Bahru, Malaysia

Replacement Lodge & Kitchen








The best place to get your brunch fix! From the makers of Faculty of Caffeine, this is the cafes of all cafes. Perhaps the most instagrammed cafe in the area, Replacement hits the spot for everything - the ambience, food, coffee and price. Food was really good, you should try their Eggs Benedict and Croque Madame. Their cold pressed juices are lit as well!

Total spent: RM 16.90 - RM 26.90 / SGD 5.60 - SGD 9.06
33-34, Jalan Dhoby, 80000 Johor Bahru, Malaysia
