Brewmen at Mont Kiara: Restaurant Review

2014 has barely begun, but KL can already welcome another destination that’s destined to draw coffee devotees in droves.

Jeremy Chan & his team at Brewmen seem attuned to the intense demands of this city’s caffeine fiends; customers can currently find beans here sourced from Singapore-based roasters like Papa Palheta & Dutch Colony Coffee, deepening our neighbour’s handprint on our cafés (see Sevencups & Urbean as examples of other outlets that searched south for supplies).

Coffee

Brewmen is trying to open in a low-key, nearly hush-hush manner, but it can’t fly under the radar for long, not when it offers temptations like filtered coffee (RM11, specs: Guatemalan single-origin, AeroPress-brewed) …

… a robustly respectable latte with full-bodied complexities (RM10 nett, Costa Rican beans from Dutch Colony Coffee) …

… plus light, low-acidity cold brew coffee (RM12, El Salvador beans; notice the Central American theme right now) …

… & the interesting red affogato (RM12), with Rooibos tea to replace the regular espresso shot.

Desserts

For food, Brewmen should start serving sandwiches this weekend; for now, customers can munch on the festive seasonal special of a Mandarin orange cupcake (RM8) .

… or a big chocolate brownie, warmed up to order & partnered with vanilla ice couple (RM12).

Scones are available too.

Final Thoughts

All in all, this place feels like one to watch this year. Expect hundreds of words to be written about & scores of photographs to be taken at Brewmen in the next several months.
