Code:Black Espresso

PERMATA YANG HILANG!

This was my first time here and i learnt a lot from Mr Taufiq! If u really want to learn and drink coffee as it is supposedly to then you are in the right place! Dont forget their croissant too! A barista turned friend, what else could you ask for?

This café offers a wonderfully cozy atmosphere. The owner is incredibly friendly, sharing not just coffee expertise but also a complimentary cake for my son's birthday. We had a delightful chat before leaving. We'll definitely be returning for their excellent coffee and pastries.

It's been a while since I last wrote any review here. One word to describe this place: MANTAP. Ordered Ice Americano; great taste, Almond Croissant: classy, and Big Breakfast: delicious. A must to come perhaps whenever you are at Selayang area.

Nestled away is a true gem - a cafe where expertise in espresso and pastry collide to create an unforgettable experience.

This isn't just any cafe; it's the domain of Bro Taufique, a barista and baker whose passion shines through in every cup and croissant.

I opted for the single-origin Indonesia Pucuk Sindoro latte, known for its nutty notes. Bro Taufique, with his extensive knowledge of espresso, crafted a latte that was smooth & balanced.

But Bro Taufique's expertise goes beyond coffee. He's also a master baker, and it shows in his creations. I got a chance to eat freshly baked buttery & flaky croissant.

Not only did he whip up the perfect latte, but he surprised me with a delightful fruity Rwandan latte from Schot Roastery.

This cafe isn't just about the coffee and pastries; it's about the experience. Bro Taufique's friendly demeanor, combined with his undeniable talent, creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.

Whether you're a seasoned coffee aficionado or simply looking for a delicious treat, this hidden gem is a must-visit. I guarantee you'll be back for more, just like I will!

P/s : I was told the espresso single origin bean will change every 2-3 days- so we can have a lot of option to try for different visit.

Today had Aerocano and Long black with Ethiopia coffee beans here 👍
we had another cup of long black with Columbia & Honduras Beans from Barista Joe. Recommended 👍 their famous croissant and Flan. Try it when you are nearby and they have reserved parking for their customers😊👍

The welcoming atmosphere, exceptional coffee, and the warm, knowledgeable staff make this coffee shop a true hidden gem in the city.

Pastry is made freshly in house everyday. Definitely would come back to try their other pastries ❤

the best coffee!!! last time got cold brew nitro...today ice latte from honduras beans!!

Come as a stranger, leave as buddies. Great service and foods combined. Mr Taufiq takes time to explain which beans suits your taste. But I'll love the suprise blend when I let him grow crazy with my latte. Pizza only available on weekend. Sourdough base with selection of homemade tomato sauce or pesto. Do call ahead since its limited.

Good coffee. Nice barista and nice environment.

will come here every time visit to KL/Selangor.

All the way from ganuu

p/s: stunning coffee profile in 5ft sure is a great deco ✨

FANTASTIC HIDDEN GEM OF KL/SELANGOR

I had one of the best flavoured coffee I have ever tasted. I ordered the cappucino made from a specialty Columbian coffee blend. The coffee was rich, full–bodied, fruity, creamy & smooth. It had just the right bitterness with no acidic aftertaste. This is definitely a must try for serious coffee lovers.

... you would've guessed it, the owner/barista is a coffee connoiseur. A very passionate food/beverage person who keeps a special standard.

The hazelnut cake was a decadent delectable offering. A 4 5 layered cake, i.e hazelnut sponge, praline, hazelnut mousse, etc. I loved that it had just the right amount of sweetness & not an overpowering diabetic dose.

A very special place. Reasonably priced.

Highly recommended! Hidden gems in Selayang. Great coffee & delicious pastries esp the croissants, chicken pie, sourdough pizza & cakes & many more! Go check it out, folks! Friendly owner who is also the barista with great staffs!

When you are passionate about your art, it shows. Anyone who has tried the croissants and viennoiseries baked by the loving hands and heart of the talented Taufique will be able to feel and taste that magic. What is a really good croissant? It’s the superbly flaky crust baked to a golden tan, with airy honeycomb, balanced with sweet notes and savoury tang of lactic butter, like these gorgeous ones here. I like my croissants with a little heft and the honeycomb not so dry and these are just perfect. You can taste the quality of the French AOP butter, I was told Isigny Sainte-Mère was used and though I do not profess to be able to tell the delicate differences and complexities of the terroir in all the great French AOP butters though I do use them in my own bakes, but I could definitely taste fineness and deliciousness here.

I’ve tried croissants in many places in France, in Paris, Cannes, Aix, Provence, Les Sables, Avoine, Cappelle la Grande, and various towns and I liked the ones from Du Pain et des Idées best. Outside of Du Pain, I can say for me, these beautifully and lovingly hand laminated croissants come very close and are the best I have ever had. Hands down the best croissants in KL. Don't forget to try their coffee, they are certainly done right!

11 stars out of 10, because all that care in his craftsmanship and excellent service deserves more. This is almost a one man show, have a bit of patience when it gets busy, and you will be rewarded with yummy stuff.

Great coffee and good atmosphere. The owner is very passionate about coffee.Will definitely come again.

Unexpected found this coffee place for the coffee hunting. Served a very nice specialty coffee from Ethiopia bean. You'll definitely be able to taste the taste note as per describe by the friendly owner. As for the croissant,one of the best you can taste here.don't worry the ingredient is halal.definitely worth to come.😁.

If you care about your coffee. This is the place to hit up your taste bud with a well pulled shot and good conversations.

Come before it gets too popular and you have to wait in line. You’ve been warned.

Haven't been here since before the lockdown.

The quality of coffee is still tops and fresh blueberry Danish pastry made from imported French flour truly highlights the crispy dough and strikes a good balance between sweet and tartness, unlike other commercial ones that's just sweet.

Sourdough pizza is MamaMia. The cheese is light and cheesy and balanced with the bright sauce.

Oh did I mention the coffee...?

Was too busy enjoying the complex flavors I forgot to take the food picture....

Quiet place perfect for an afternoon coffee. Yummy quality bakes tho they ran out faster than the baker can restock it.. so if u see something u like grab it. 😆 u will not be dissapointed.

Came here on the weekend. Unfortunately they sold out a majority of their baked goods by then so we got a slice of pecan pie and a giant creampuff. Tried the latte and green tea frappe as well. Both drinks and food was really good! We could choose which beans we wanted for the coffee and the green tea frappe uses matcha so it has a great flavour. Barista was really friendly and knowledgeable on types of beans and roasts and helped me pick out what blends would work for people who is sensitive to caffeine.

Overall a great experience, would visit again if i come by the area

Owner is friendly enough to explain about flavor profiles of the beans used when asked
