Miyakori Coffee - Desserts with Cutest Bear Stamps

In the bustling city of Johor Bahru, where modern shopping malls meet traditional Malaysian culture, a charming Japanese-inspired café chain has been quietly winning hearts with its adorable aesthetic and quality beverages. Miyakori Coffee, with its tagline “幸せの味, A Taste Of Happiness!” specializes in premium coffee and desserts, operating as a Muslim-friendly establishment with no pork and no lard.

Miyakori Coffee embraces a “keishoku kissa” (軽食喫茶) concept, translating to a light-meal café. The interiors are characterized by clean lines, soft lighting, and subtle Japanese elements, creating a tranquil environment ideal for relaxation or casual gatherings. Walking into this picturesque café makes visitors feel like they’ve suddenly been teleported to Tokyo, with every detail carefully curated to create the cutest café experience possible. The café’s signature mascot, a lovable bear character, appears throughout the establishment - from the menu designs to the adorable art stamped on their famous cotton cheesecakes. Miyakori is an original creation by the Malaysian boss, showcasing local creativity with Japanese-inspired aesthetics.

Miyakori Coffee offers a peaceful haven for afternoon coffee breaks, with an inviting ambiance perfect for connecting with fellow coffee lovers. It’s ideal for a weekend getaway or a cozy catch-up with friends. From the cream and cocoa colored walls to the blonde wooden furniture, and the mural art of adorable illustrated animal characters to the menu plus wooden cutlery, every single aspect carries the “kawaii” theme wonderfully. The minimalist Japanese aesthetic creates a serene environment that stands in pleasant contrast to the bustling shopping centers where most outlets are located. Adorned with adorable mascots and minimalist décor, the café exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere.

According to their knowledgeable staff, Miyakori’s medium roasted blend combines beans from El Salvador, Sumatra and Brazil. Regardless of whether it’s made into a cappuccino or latte, the nutty and chocolatey tasting coffee leaves a pleasantly sweet aftertaste. The café has gained particular recognition for their Instagram-worthy “Cat”puccino, which combines quality coffee with adorable latte art.
