Sims, Mont Kiara

One of our favourite new coffee bars of 2023 is single-handedly manned by Taiwanese-born Joseph, offering an extraordinary experience with meticulous mindfulness in Mont Kiara.

Come to Sims with an open heart and time to spare - this is a space for lingering, with a serene, soaring thirteenth-floor view behind the counter.

Joseph freshly grinds a curation of single-origin coffee from multiple Malaysian roasters, guiding guests through the process of selecting, sniffing and savouring their pour-overs. 

Sims promises a intentionally sensory journey through its beverages, which include cold brews, tea and coolers of Borneo tuak infused with roselle, pineapple and more.

Joseph's own-baked sweet potato cake is a must, natural-tasting and free of added sugar.

At Sims, patrons will also meet co-founder Pat, who runs separate rooms for other services, including sound baths and tarot readings. A friendly chat with Joseph and Pat is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.

Fun fact: Joseph is also an artist - you'll see his illustrations on Sims' walls.

Sims is a small space with limited seats at 163 Retail Park. DM them at instagram.com/simsxing to book your seat before visiting. Directions will be provided then.
