    I normally only write a review if an experience is really good or really bad. Our lunch at Bricks and Bread KL today was neither - it featured both.... and more. The Good Really really nicely designed restaurant - instagramable is correct - with a nice vibe, very heigh ceilings, bright and airy. Our server Aziz was great - very "on it", hard working and accommodating despite the challenges of the day. The food looked great and tasted OK la - the taste just somehow did not match the superb looks. The sourdough bread was a hit - but why charge MYR2 for butter ??? Coffees were fine. Carrot cake on the very sweet side - maybe designed for local tastes. Our disabled guest walloped the fried chicken sandwich - must have been good! It was her first day out without wheelchair after 8 weeks due to severe leg injury and surgery. The way Aziz handled the plastic stirrer baked into the apple crumble was commendable. Pure natural instinct to immediately take it away. The Not So good/Really Bad. Trying to book a table by sending two WhatsApp messages to the restaurant which were read, but never answered.... until you need to make a phone call to get a reply. Then when you speak to the representative of the restaurant (who should be fired based on our experience) and they are RUDE (condescending bordering on abusive might be more accurate descriptions) and encourage you NOT to make a booking!!! Having been to thousands of restaurants around the world it was a first time experience!!! When you say you have a disabled guest and need a ground floor table near the door and they say "sorry cannot promise." When they tell you they cannot guarantee that they can make your food on time as they will host a party upstairs. When you agree to come at 11:45 - a reservation is RELUCTANTLY given but with a subtle hint "you better come on time." My wife had the phone call but had she told me about the way she was treated on the call before our lunch, we would never have come to Bricks and Bread KL. Our disabled guest was enjoying her apple crumble when she spit out a piece of a plastic stirrer (about 0.7cm long) which was baked into it. #healthhazzard Aziz immediately took it away and then came back to ask if we really found it IN the crumble. Yes we replied. He apologised, offered a replacement item (we declined) it was not charged and he then brought a chocolate cookie to our guest compliments of the house. Well handled Aziz and your tip was earned. The Unforgivable When we left the restaurant, the remaining portions of apple crumble (they take the form of a brownie) were still in the display cabinet for sale! There are fair odds that other portions were possibly similarly contaminated - our piece was just a broken off part of a longer plastic stirrer -. Any restaurant that places profit over the safety of it's diners is one to avoid. Sayang :(

    The breakfast at Bricks and Bones in Kuala Lumpur was a delightful experience. The cozy atmosphere, paired with a diverse menu, provided a perfect start to the day. The service was excellent, staff was cordial and professional. The sandwiches were big and tasty, everything was a delight. The real comfort food. Overall dining experience was really enjoyable. I highly recommend Bricks and Bones for a satisfying breakfast in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.

    Bricks and Bread KL I'll give 5/5 stars overall. The portion of the food is very generous, its very scrumptious and you can just taste that they use quality ingredients to make their food. Totally fits well with the price tag and worth every penny. One of the waiter Mr Abdul Aziz if im not mistaken, he was very kind and attentive towards me and my wife. Very polite and served us with a smile all the time. The atmosphere here is relaxed. A very nice touch with their interior decor. Perfectly calm urban cafe in the middle of the city. Highly recommended cafe for breakfast.

    Came here for the breakfast, eager to try their mackerel shashuka, but was dissapointed that they had just changed the menu. This disappointment did not last for long when we started eating from their new menu. Expertly crafted breakfast items to start the day off right.

    Atmosphere in this restaurant were just fine... Assorted cakes normal....nothing more nothing less... Mushroom soup, okay ... The worst part 😫; The Linguine Seaford Aglio Olio. The sauce is not 100% mixed with the pasta itself. Taste was awful....Gentle Reminder to the Chef....kindly put your heart to cook for your customers. The clams shells were broke into pieces, and I have to swallow it while having it. I need an explanation from the restaurant regarding this matter..day after my stomach feels not good.

    Went there for breakfast and to my surprise they serve really nice sourdough and butter. Big breakfast and chicken potato tacquitos are surprisingly tasty, however the eggs Benedict wasn’t up to our liking. Place is clean and spacious, great design on the food counter. Lovely hand drawn menu and more straight forward than the e-menu. Staffs are polite and welcoming. Overall, great place for family and friends to hangout and enjoy food of different varieties.

    The ambience was good but it’s a bit warm to be honest. I couldn’t really feel the AC. I was hoping to get a great shot of the ambience from upstairs but sadly that section was closed for a private event. I heard so many good things about the food here I don’t really enjoy it as most of the food we ordered was tasteless except for the mushroom soup. Plating and portion was good but it could be improved on the taste. The coffee wasn’t that good either. We came home with a brown bag filled with our leftovers.

    Came here for breakfast on Sunday. Was greeted by the staff when we were about to enter the cafe. The food was excellent for my taste. My friend made a point by saying how the food here have the perfect balance in taste. It werent too sweet, salty, bitter or sour. Everything has that subtle taste that leaves us craving for more. Price is on the higher end but I personally dont mind for a good quality food. Overall, really enjoyed our breakfast here. Will definitely repeat when I get the opportunity.

    The main course was delicious, arriving promptly and served hot. and didn't keep us waiting too long. The egg tart was a total win – like a mix of pie crust and Portuguese egg tart goodness. The waiters were friendly and helpful, even during the lunch rush. The lunch set was worth it and delicious. Definitely gonna visit again.

    This is an absolute favourite here in Kuala Lumpur. Probably one of the best coffee that’s I have heard here. The cafe has beautiful vibes and more than that an absolutely amazing service. Big shout out to Gina for being absolutely amazing in running this place. The in house pastries, dessert are worth a try. Really good. Would recommend apple pie as one of my favourites. Overall Highly recommend this place.

    I went right in after I did my laundry right across the street. I arrived about 8:30AM and only a few customers were there. Love the clean and minimalist atmosphere. Staff were helpful. Place is a gold mine for Instagram pictures, if you're into that. Ordered via QR code given at the table. Chose to go with an iced matcha and the big breakfast. The meats were salty and worked well when eating with the scrambled eggs, bread and vegetables. Should have ordered something sweet to go with the savory, but that will be for next time. If you're craving western cuisine, I would visit this place.

    The atmosphere is great for studying/working very chill and open space! Their aeropress coffee was really smooth and good. Their menu was super cute, I love the art!

    A pretty but very middling restaurant. I was excited to try their bread for a place called Bricks and Bread but the quality of their bread and food was quite lacking. I had the Croque Monsieur that was slathered in sauce and full of cheap unmelted cheese. It was a fairly unecessary take on this dish and was quite hard to eat. My friend had the Buttermilk fried chicken and that wasn't great either. All the food is edible but for RM30 a sandwich I wouldn't recommend it nor come back. The place is quite pretty however with lots of natural light.

    Chow Kit for breakfast. Going to a popular breakfast spot had its challenges. First and foremost will be the parking which is a scarcity especially in popular area like this one. Then, if it's popular then most likely I have to jostle for available table with the hungry crowds - I don't really like waiting for table honestly. So I did what I normally do - be one of the earliest (if not the earliest) customers to arrive when they open. The weather was rather cooling in the morning and I took my time to take pictures of the whitewashed building with a red-brick word "B" in front, making it instantly recognisable. Both ground and first floor were utilised to accommodate patrons and I particularly like the hexagonal white tiles which added more colonial feels to the cafe. A big communal table looked huge from above. An Instagram worthy places I'd say. ◾ Buttermilk pancakes served with maple butter, berries compote and fresh berries. Soft and fluffy pancakes always bring a smile to the daughters who shared the plate. ◾Eggs Benedict - 2 perfectly poached eggs on potato rosti, topped with avocado hollandaise, pico de Gallo and sour cream. I love the fact that they use rosti instead of bun or àny type of bread - it gets kinda boring after a while so rosti was a refreshing change. ◾My long black served me well that morning while the kids had the lemonade. Good vibes & atmospheres to go with the good food. Service could use improvements in terms of smiles and friendliness. They do have alfresco which is definitely enjoyable to have breakfast (or any meal) if it's not too hot or stuffy.

    The best place for hot pies Main course and set lunch is also so good 4 times eat here & bring my colleague to enjoy the same

  • 3/5 Siew Kim W. 10 months ago on Google
    The pastries are very sweet. I take away banana bread it is too sweet. Even the hazelnut coffee is very very sweet. No taste of coffee at all. Sandwich was okay. Environment was good. Just the service not as good , the customer came to our table to ask if they could take over our table after we finish. I said ok. Then they immediately took their food and place on our table and wait for us to finish. The staff won’t care at all.

    If you’re familiar with KLCARFREE that happens every Sunday, their location is within the route. If you see Ali Muthu, make a turn there and the cafe is on your left. The atmosphere is nice & spacious and you’re greeted as soon as you enter. You scan the qrcode to order and for the pastries that’s on display, just mention it to the staff with your table number. The music is nice, it’s like famous songs are played in jazz version. The food tasted great and depending on what you order, you can add fries or salad as a side. We got the beef toastie and the chicken sandwich; salted caramel chocolate cake for dessert and coffee. It was a wonderful experience & great service!

    Did you believe that good food will bring you good mood? And this place will give you that mood. Ate the Beef Birra Tagliatelle and that was a wonderful yet flavorful food, the beef was so tender and overall food was a highly pleasant to eat! For dessert we had pecan pie and carrot cake, told you that pecan pie was a chef kissed dessert ever! The crunchy and the sweets balance and complete the total dish. Definitely will come back to try more good food here !
