Step into this café in Ara Damansara that blends vintage Japanese-Taiwanese charm with artisanal drinks
Latibule Coffee is a cosy spot where lever-pulled espresso meets retro décor and peace.
The ambience strikes the perfect balance between old-fashioned style and laid-back calm
Inspired by Japanese kissatens and Taiwanese coffee bars, Latibule's interior features warm wood tones, stained-glass lamps, ruffled pendant lights, and even a nostalgic turntable.
This first-floor enclave is bathed in soft light, quiet energy, and the satisfying hum of low-volume '90s Cantopop. If you love relaxing with a book or a good chat, this is your place.
You can enjoy flaky bakes, classic desserts, and comforting bites all at once here
Try the house‑baked egg pudding that delivers custardy sweetness with a rich, caramel finish.
The café also rotates cheesecakes and chocolate treats regularly, offering a little surprise with each visit.
Co-founder Sam's love for lever espresso began in Taipei, inspiring carefully brewed dark roast shots and other memorable drinks
Most fans rave about the Sibeh Dirty Latte, a silky Brazil Fazenda espresso over freeze distilled milk topped with fruity coffee oil. Yum!
For non-coffee lovers, their wintermelon milk with house‑set black tea jelly is a silky, flavourful twist on a classic.
That's not all. They serve Japanese-style melon soda floats that are fizzy, bold, and topped with ice cream and strawberry for a whimsical splash of flavour.
Latibule proves it's more than just aesthetics with a special turntable that spins real vinyl, playing thoughtfully curated tracks
Often playing nostalgic '90s Cantopop, it's an immersive experience where coffee, décor, flavour and sound come together beautifully.
