Nice vibe - Edit
Sister resto of The Hungry Tapir. Everything is pink and they were playing Bossa Nova. 🎶

Coconut milk hot tea was good, albeit sweet, so ask if you want less Gula.
Ayam Panyat
The smashed fried seitan chicken was pretty good, but needed more sauce, and more spice. Wasn't keen on the tofu they used (this one tasted weird?)
I got a mango cashew cheesecake, and thy were doing 2-for-1, so I got a blueberry cashew cheesecake as well . Both were good, and even I'm not that greedy, so I got a doggy bag to take half of each slice back to my hotel.
I wouldn't mind trying the mushroom rendang croissant, but I don't have enough stomach for it tonight!
Overall, the food was ok, but I've had better, including Nasi Lemak and satay mushroom sticks at The Hungry Tapir, just down the same street.

Absolutely delicious - Edit
Visited La Gula just before heading to the airport. Went their with my brother and my parents. We all loved the food. They also have cocktails and mocktails. Everything was delicious. Whatever we tried was delicious. My particular favorite was the fish and chips, and the fried seafood. But don’t get me wrong, everything was delicious.

Great pie! - Edit
We visited La Gula for a post dinner dessert. I had the banofee pie and my dad had the mango cheesecake. My banofee pie was out of this world.

Delicious (but expensive) - Edit
Beautiful place for very high vegan quality food.
Read moreThe service is impeccable! Friendly and professional.
The live band was... not good. It looked like they were practicing. Always stopping and correcting.
But anyway, this is the place to go for vegan people. And also for the others!
Expensive, but worth it.
Pros: Food (burger), Service, Atmosphere
Cons: Price, Music band

Western and expensive for Malaysia - Edit
A nice, cool, Instagramable place. However, was really disappointed by portion size of my bagel for the price! Everything was tasty though, enjoyed both my drinks. Cocktails also available (3 for 100RM). Would have got more things if it had been less expensive.

First time, loved it! - Edit
We went to the Happy Tapir for our third or fourth time to find it shut. I’d read that La Gula opened so we tried that and it was fantastic, different menu but retaining some of the best bits of the original. Excellent service. So pleased to find places like this.

What a wonderful spot - Edit
Came here for breakfast and wasn’t disappointed. It’s a bit pricey so not something I would come back to too often but once in a while allow yourself to indulge. Food and coffee were spot on.

Delicious croissants - Edit
This place is located in Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur close to Pasar Seni LRT train station. There are a few beggars and homeless people around Pasar Seni train station, which I thought was quite shocking to see the inequality in Kuala Lumpur. La Gula is a very pink place. I ordered the Mushroom Rendang Croissant and Iced Oat Latte and it was great. I wanted to visit again but unfortunately only visited once, but based on my one visit I highly recommend this place. The food was delicious and the staff were very professional.

Fantastic - Edit
I ordered the pancakes and a variety of pastries with a coffee. Pancakes were delicious, not sure why they car called biscoff and strawberry pancakes as they don’t have any biscoff rather they have a butterscotch sauce which was way too sweet. Pastries are good however they are covered in extra sugar which is totally unnecessary. Coffee was also very good
Read moreCame back for dinner. I had the schnitzel which was delicious and my fiancée had the steak which he said was probably the best vegan steak he’s tried so far (he’s not vegan)

Vegan pastry galore - Edit
Tried a few of their pastries - they were a little tough but the flavour was spot on. My favourites were the almond croissant and sausage and cheese croissant. Lots of other cakes and dessert options too.

Cute and tasty - Edit
During my first visit I tired the coconut soup with “fish” balls and it was so delightful that the next time I couldn’t help myself and ordered exactly the same thing. So, strongly recommend!
Read moreMatcha is good, very strong. I came straight after the airport after a very early flight and I tell you, one cup made a big difference.
The space itself is adorable. I love how they played with the staged zone.
I saw lots of people trying bakery stuff. I’m not so much into bread-kinda-things, but people seemed to enjoy. And it’s not easy to find vegan bakery around the city.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Thank you very much, I did have a great experience!

Fun place - Edit
The vibes, pastries and options are really great and you'll wish you arrived more hungry so you could eat even more of the menu!
Read moreIn my opinion the actual food is a little bit less good than at the hungry tapir, but still an incredible spot.

cant help but love this place - Edit
I've been here a lot because their food is really delicious and also special, they have some flavour combos i havent had before. also their drinks are nice and the ambiente and interior really seals the deal. i will say one thing, we once got the sweet croissants from the dessert shelf and they were quite dry, bummer. the other things always were really good
