O’Coffee Club might seem like another commonplace independent chain, but these gourmet roasters are a homegrown success story. Established in 1991, O’Coffee Club prides itself on being Singapore’s very first independent coffee chain. Now with multiple locations across KL, Malaysians have another option for rich and flavourful premium coffee.
Ambience & Amenities
There is “patio” seating at O’Coffee Club. This area seems better suited if you’re only having drinks since there are a lot of bar stools and low tables with couches. While there’s more natural light out here, you’re basically sitting under the mall’s escalator. The indoor dining room is a mix of cosy booths and wooden tables with hard metal chairs.
There is no toilet or handwashing station in the restaurant. The nearest 1 Mont Kiara washrooms are next to the Nando’s. Exit the restaurant and turn left.
Menu at O’Coffee Club
The O’Coffee Club menu is safe and has wide appeal. The usual items for a brunch spot are here: sandwiches, salads, breakfast, pasta and a handful of local dishes. There are cakes and pastries in the cabinet by the register. O’Coffee Club also makes ready-made sandwiches in the fridge out front for anyone who needs a quick meal. Getting free filtered water depends on which server you ask, but otherwise, bottled mineral water costs RM3.50. The chiller in front of the restaurant has cheap drinks that are not on the menu so be sure to check that out.

Food at O’Coffee Club
The Smoked Salmon Sandwich (RM35) is stacked high with seven layers of fillings – I even got some bonus alfafa sprouts! Although there’s a lot going on in this sandwich, the overall taste is very mild. The fluffy eggs and cream cheese balance out stronger flavours like pickled onions and salmon, so everything works well together.
The BLAT Sandwich (RM32) is Mark’s go-to order. It’s a classic BLT on thick toast with avocado. Except for the obscenely thick slices of tomatoes on this day, there’s a good balance of all four elements. Both of our orders came with a side of tasty thick-cut fries and mixed salad with balsamic vinaigrette.
Saturday Worthy?
We don’t go to O’Coffee Club often. The dishes are okay, but I find the menu to be dull. I never think about the food I’ve eaten here, or crave it again like I do with cafes like VCR. I don’t particularly like the ambience either. At O’Coffee Club, I know that I’ll get a filling meal, but it’ll be a meal that I’ll promptly forget about once I walk out the door.
