Living Room Cafe (Setia Tropika), Johor Bahru

Since opening in May 2016, Living Room Café provides a cozy and comfortable environment for customers. The location is convenient, so anyone can make their way to this café for some leisure time. It is tucked away from the main roads of Kempas, but still easily reachable as it is connected to the North-South Expressway. What makes this café special is their living room environment that will make any customer feel right at home.

It is adorned with sofa seats, low tables, overhanging greens and even a water feature. Living up to its name, the café is decorated in a spacious living room style that is fully furnished with wooden furnishings, comfortable sofas, warm lighting with some glass decorations, and lounge music on the stereo. Customers can easily curl up into one of the sofas and simply chill out and relax. Furthermore, the outdoor area is modern as it has concrete features that contrast nicely with the green environs of Setia Tropika.

When coming to the Living Room Café, customers will be transported into a large communal living hall with high ceilings that will allow them to escape reality. They can get away from the hectic and chaotic buzz from outside. Even when coming with friends or loved ones, customers will be able to have private and intimate conversations that allow for valuable bonding experiences. Additionally, the café has an extensive food and drinks menu, with something for everyone to enjoy. Customers can kick back and chat with friends, catch up with work, check emails, finish their blog stories, or simply soak in the environment. This homely environment will provide customers with the ideal environment to get work done or just relax after a busy day.

If you love anything that has to do with coffee, you would have definitely noticed the Living Room Café’s custom Latte Art that has been floating around social media and their official Instagram account. The skilled baristas have already made intricate custom Latte Art from simple leaf patterns to complicated cartoons. To test their abilities, we challenged the baristas to create something really special for us. They certainly lived up to our expectations as they created our self-portrait within minutes right in front of us. It was truly impressive to see them take up the challenge without hesitation. However, it was heartbreaking to ruin their artwork by drinking the latte, but it was so delicious that we downed it all. This Instaworthy café will become your new favourite place to take photos and make your feed look even better. Not only is their environment super minimalistic and visual, but so are their drinks. They will take any custom requests for Latte Art without any additional cost. This will also make any celebrations even more memorable as you will be fully entertained by the barista team there.

The baristas can also recommend you drinks based on your mood. For example, their Cappuccino is easy to gulp down and will provide you with a wonderful aftertaste due to its sweet and nutty components.

However, if you are not in a Cappuccino mood, you could always opt for a Matcha Latte Smoothie. This interesting but delicious blend will make you crave for more, especially with the added green tea-flavoured Kit Kat ingredient.

The Living Room Café also offers delicious meals for anyone to enjoy. Their Honey Mustard Chicken Chop is marinated in homemade seasoning sauce and will make your mouth water just by looking at it. It is cooked to perfection, and it tastes just like it too. The sweet corn is a suitable accompaniment to the meat as the sweetness balances the saltiness of the chicken chop. The salad on the side is also a refreshing addition to the meal.

The Sweet and Sour Fish (with Rice) tastes heavenly. It has beautiful colours and the crunchiness of the vegetables attest to their freshness.

The Living Room Café at Setia Tropika will soon become one of your favourite places to hang out and relax. Not only do they have an ideal environment that is reminiscent to your living room at home, but the food and drinks that they offer will completely win you over. This café is also the perfect venue to hold small-scale events. Once you step into the café and experience their homely environment, delicious food and tasty beverages first-hand, you will not want to leave!
