Located in Heritage Row, a tranquil enclave in the city center dotted with stylish cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops, 103 Coffee offers an exceptional specialty coffee experience. The cafe occupies a two-level space flooded with natural light, featuring an elegant blend of Scandinavian and Japanese design that perfectly complements the quality of coffee served. What sets 103 Coffee apart is their team of internationally acclaimed baristas. These champions and award-winning professionals demonstrate their expertise in every carefully crafted cup. The cafe maintains complete quality control by sourcing and roasting their own beans, offering diverse flavor profiles ranging from bright and floral to rich and bold. Beyond coffee, 103 Coffee serves innovative fusion cuisine that spans continents. Think housemade pasta alongside salmon onigiri, plus an array of fresh pastries. The menu accommodates both light snacking and hearty dining. The service consistently impresses, with humble, knowledgeable baristas who greet every customer warmly. While peak hours may require some patience, the exceptional quality makes any wait worthwhile. The thoughtful interior design and ambiance create an atmosphere that matches the caliber of coffee, making 103 Coffee a standout destination for serious coffee enthusiasts and casual visitors alike.

Sal's KL is the bold rebrand of the beloved Softe dessert bar, now serving an expanded menu of sandwiches, croissants, and wraps alongside their signature artisan ice cream. Located on the ground floor of Menara Ilham in the heart of KL, the space retains its striking Tokyo-inspired design with LED lighting and an open kitchen concept. Their Reuben signature roll has quickly become a standout, a housemade pastrami layered with cheddar, English mustard, gherkins, and sauerkraut. The flaky, buttery croissants and All Day Breakfast Sub offer satisfying quick bites, complemented by matcha drinks and kombucha on tap. Fresh ingredients and quality bread anchor every sandwich. With thoughtful service and a futuristic ambience that makes every visit feel like an experience, Sal's KL bridges the gap between creative dessert destination and everyday lunch spot for the KLCC crowd.
