Acme Bar & Coffee (The Troika)

The walnut brownie with ice cream on top is served on a hot plate and chocolate sauce is poured at the table for that sizzling effect. The hot, rich brownie with cold oreo ice-cream worked so well together. It was so good that I wanted another one.

1 of 3 craft beers on tap - here is the Scotch Silly (27++RM, 250ml), a Belgian butterscotch beer. 🇧🇪 It was sweet, not in a sharp cider way, but more of a subtle caramel-ish way. Overall not too crazy lah. Doesn't make it to my list of favourites.

The other 2 craft beers are also Belgian: Barbar Blonde (33++RM, 330ml), & Blanche de Silly (25++RM, 250ml).

Latte was BIG, but mostly milk! Not enough oomph of caffeine for us. 😔

Seeking shelter from the rain here. Great ambient light, but such a pity there's not much of a view because of the construction all around.

Food wasn't spectacular; Toasted Chicken & Avocado Panini (47++RM) was the better of the 2 dishes we ordered, but I wouldn't come all the way here just for this. The chips were a bit lao hong (flat), which is a shame because it looked like it had so much potential to be delicious.

But hey, it's quite a sizeable sandwich & that deserves some merit 👌

Chunky Mushroom Soup (25++RM) with Mantou Croutons looked AMAZING but sadly was more salty than mushroom-hearty. Would not order again.

Located on the ground floor of the Troika building, Acme Bar & Coffee is a prime place for brunch with a breathtaking view. The best part: food is not exorbitantly priced. To impress a date at brunch or to celebrate occasions with a small group, book a table at this stunning loft-like cafe. The menu is renewed seasonally, but all versions bank on classic dishes with a modern touch to satiate. For now, look to the Picnic Bruschetta (RM49) for a fun brunch offering. Essentially a make-your-own picnic basket, the sharing dish (for two to three) comes with garlic toast, cold cuts, gherkin, chimichurri, babaganoush, brie cheese and dried fruits. This is especially alluring if you are seated in their outdoor area shrouded by greenery. Order also the Crispy Plaintain Dippers (RM23) to share. The healthy alternative to chips offers a better bite, and makes an addictive snack with the side of spicy anchovy guacomole, chimichurri and sour cream dip.
