Everyone is familiar with the cafes along the famous Jalan Dhoby and Jalan Trus, but why not check out some cafes in Taman Sutera, Johor Bahru?

Taman Sutera Utama is another well-developed area in Johor Bahru with rows of shophouses filled with cafes and restaurants. Also, there is a shopping mall called Sutera Mall just a few steps away from there. These places are also easily accessible by public transport from Trus Checkpoint.

Here are some of my most recommended cafes near Sutera Mall.

  1. Portafilter By Dare2Dream

Dare2Dream is a place where dreams come true. Tucked away in the newly constructed shophouses of Pusat Danga Utama, the interior of Portafilter is perfect for Instagrammers to capture memorable photos. The café doesn’t just look good, but it also feels like home. The cozy decor and comfortable ambiance make it easy to stay for a while. The aroma of coffee and books adds to the homely vibe.

One of Portafilter’s must-try dishes is their Peppery Cheesy Eggy Toast. It is served with black pepper, mayonnaise, smoked duck, and omelette, creating a unique and surprising flavor that tantalizes your taste buds.

For those who crave something sweet, the Churros are a great option. Served with ice cream in a unique presentation, the churros are not greasy and provide a satisfying treat.

In general, Dare2Dream is a café that not only offers delectable food but also provides a warm and comfortable environment that feels like home. Come and visit to experience the magic of this dreamy café.

  1. BLISS

Bliss café is located on the second floor of Taman Sutera Utama, right above IT Roo. Despite its inconspicuous location, the café boasts an interior design that is perfect for taking cool and attractive photos. The decor is simple yet inviting, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing hi-tea session with friends.

One of the must-try dishes at Bliss Café is their famous lava cake. It takes 30 minutes to prepare, but it’s definitely worth the wait. While waiting for your cake, you can take photos around the café with your friends and enjoy the ambiance.

Matcha lovers should definitely try the café’s Matcha lava cake, which is served with durian ice cream, providing a unique and delicious combination of flavors. The Raspberry Pie, which is not listed on the menu but recommended by the staff, is also a great option. Served on a cute rabbit plate and decorated with chocolate, it’s an adorable and tasty dessert.

Overall, Bliss café may not be easy to spot, but it offers a welcoming atmosphere and scrumptious desserts that are definitely worth trying

  1. Vintage Beans

As soon as you step into Vintage Bean café, you are greeted by an old-school melody that instantly transports you back to the 70s. The café’s retro interior design is not only unique, but it also evokes a sense of nostalgia. It’s clear that the owner pays close attention to every detail of the café’s decoration.

The menu at Vintage Bean is designed to resemble a newspaper, with a lovely layout that leaves a lasting impression. If you’re looking to indulge in some delicious food that will take you back in time, Vintage Bean is the perfect place to start.

One dish that you simply must try is their braised pork rice. The dish is visually appealing and is sure to whet your appetite. The rice is topped with a charbroiled egg, giving it a unique twist that sets it apart from other braised pork rice dishes. The chef highly recommends this dish, and it’s easy to see why.

  1. La’ Farine

La Farine is a bakery café located just a few minutes’ walk from Sutera Mall. It offers a unique combination of bakery and multi-cuisine restaurant, making it a perfect destination for food lovers. The interior design is inspired by traditional French themes, with brick walls, rustic wooden tables and chairs, and a stunning chandelier that creates a romantic ambiance.

The name La Farine translates to “flour,” and the bakery offers an extensive selection of European breads and cakes, with over 30 different options to choose from. The bread and cakes are baked fresh daily, ensuring that customers receive the freshest and most delicious baked goods possible. In addition to their bakery items, La Farine also serves Chinese and Malay cuisine, including popular dishes like Chicken Rice, Nasi Lemak, and porridge. They also have a selection of pastas, chicken, and breakfast sets available, making it a great option for any meal.

  1. Lequa Café

Lequa Café is another popular café located in the bustling area of Sutera Utama. The café’s unique design theme is based on wood, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The name “Lequa” is derived from the Italian word “qua,” which means “here.” This name reflects the café’s focus on providing a comfortable and welcoming environment for customers.

Lequa Café recently updated its menu based on customer feedback, offering even more delicious options to choose from. One standout dish is the Herb Lamb Loin Chop, which is carefully prepared by the head chef to achieve the perfect balance of crispy skin and juicy meat. The sauce is also infused with herbs, adding an extra layer of flavor to the dish.

If you’re looking for a romantic dinner spot or a place to catch up with friends over coffee, Lequa Café is the perfect destination. They also offer catering services for special events like birthday parties and buffets upon request.

Wow! It’s amazing how many cafes there are near Sutera Mall. Therefore, I have prepared this list for you, hoping to help you explore these places better.

If you have trouble getting there, I would recommend taking a taxi from Singapore to JB (Johor Bahru) rather than taking public transport. For example, SGMYTRIPS is my favorite private taxi company.

You can opt for their Singapore to Malaysia taxi service. It’s much easier than taking public transport. We don’t have to stand in a long line to pass the customs, and we don’t need to change cars halfway. Easy for cross border tourists/newcomers.
