Lim Kee Cafe

Lim Kee Cafe (located in the lobby of Tian Jing Hotel in the heart of Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur) things to know before you go:

⸻

✅ Highlights
• Classic meets modern atmosphere – A cafe inspired by the “old-school kopitiam” style but neat and comfortable, air-conditioned, and decorated with dark wood tones that make it cozy
• High-quality desserts/ice cream – Signature menu includes various ice cream flavors such as pandan, teh tarik, mascarpone, soursop (around RM6–10) and the popular “Coffee Rum Cheesecake”
• Complete drinks menu with coffee and tea – Customers love the Hojicha & Matcha Latte and coffee that is “fragrant and high quality.” Some reviews praise the balanced sweetness/bitterness

⸻

⚠️ Considerations
• Space is quite limited – Small cafe, not very spacious, seating is limited, better for a short break rather than accommodating large groups ()
• Few heavy food options – Only egg bread or roti kahwin, not a diverse menu, more suitable for snacks than main meals
• Some people are not impressed with the coffee – Some say the “coffee is a bit bad” compared to the price and expectations ()

⸻

🧐 Overall opinion
• If you’re looking for a beautiful, cozy cafe in Chinatown, perfect for sipping coffee to cool down or enjoying sweet treats, Lim Kee is a very good choice
• Best for solo visitors or couples; large groups or hungry people should plan for another day as the cafe may be full and there are no heavy meal options
• Tea and coffee drinks are generally of good quality, and the dessert menu is interesting, especially the coffee-rum flavored cake🏷️ #Hashtags
