Halal hidden cafe in Selangor

It's no secret that cafe-hopping in Kuala Lumpur (KL) and Selangor is one of our favourite weekend activities to do with friends. Whether it's sipping on a latte or indulging in a fresh box of halal French pastries, it excites and comforts us in equal measure - especially since many of us in Malaysia have been cooped up at home for a long period of time. With social distancing more important now than ever, it's a good idea to find places where you can escape the crowd and we've got one to share with all you cafe-hoppers ?

It's surrounded by lush greenery, giving you a fresh change of scenery - especially if you're the type to make frequent visits to the city! Plus, the place exudes nostalgic vibes with its unique decor making every corner of the cafe perfectly Instagrammable.

Whether you're in the mood for something savoury, sweet or spicy, Kopi Jiran has it all! Treat yourself to a packet (or two) of Nasi Lemak Jiran and pair it with a cold cup of Kopi Jiran Latte for a truly satisfying meal. End your meal on a sweet note with a bite of their muffins or skip the sugar and go for savoury croissants instead.

You can also look forward to sinking your teeth into their homemade buttery scones! Served with a side of strawberry jam and butter, transport yourself to the chilly mountains of Cameron Highlands where they're famous for their scones without making the windy drive up ?

Planning a picnic outing with friends? Don't miss the chance to grab yourself their Kotak Picnic Jiranfor some yummy munching. You can pick between Kotak Picnic A or B - both of which contain a variety of baked goods, desserts and nasi lemak.
