Review: WIP on the Park
April 28th, 2025
Checking out a cool new concept cafe that opened in PJ this month: KARE Cafe at 1 Utama, an F&B spin-off from the Munich-origin furniture brand.
KARE Cafe, an absolute riot of colours at 1 Utama’s old wing.
The cafe is part of this mall’s KARE furniture store, so customers can have fun perusing the pieces sold here.
Knick-knacks galore; sure, some might call this kitschy clutter, but it has its charms.
KARE Cafe seems like a nifty spot for families & friends to rest their feet amid all their shopping.
Coconut again? Well worth it though; KARE’s ‘Young Coconut’ cake (RM12.80) is a very pleasant surprise, with delicate sponge layered with tender coconut slices & crowned mightily with coconut flakes.
Bruschetta topped with egg & ebiko; the toast is ultra-crispy. Not bad, especially for the not-exorbitant RM9.80 price tag.
Harney & Sons tea is sold in flavours such as pomegranate oolong, dragon pearl jasmine & hot cinnamon spice (RM9.80).
