Favourite

My favourite place to have ever eaten vegan and that’s coming from London where we have a lot to choose from. We were in KL for a little over 24 hours and ate here twice. So many cakes, ice creams and pastries to choose from - after two months travelling around Asia the kids were beyond excited for the sugar rush. So fun to have a cheeseboard (an enormous one at that!) and great cocktails in the evening too!

Pros: Choice, Cocktails, Lovely staff

Great place for brunch!

A pleasant atmosphere and a well-designed layout. The lighting is especially impressive and enhances the overall ambience. Customers can choose between indoor or outdoor dining, both of which provide a comfortable experience. Outdoor seating is particularly enjoyable, allowing you to observe the bustling city of Kuala Lumpur and its people as they go about their day.

We tried the Rendang croissant, which was a little spicy and oily but incredibly indulgent.

Might be the best place in KL

The food ranges from good to great. The cranberries(drink) is delic!
Breakfast egg bagel is driest [censored] you’ll ever eat in your life. The steak with blue cheese is pretty great.

Pros: Atmosphere, Pretty and pink

Nice tasty vegan restaurant

Nice place with a good menu and reasonable prices for vegan food. Had the hedgehog rendang dish which was very tasty. And had a nice iced passion fruit mint tea. Well worth the visit. Easy to find,in a touristy area.

Cute vegan cafe

La Gula is one of the best vegan bakeries and cafes in the world let alone in Kuala Lumpur! It has a gorgeous interior with a range of comfy seating options. It has a wide range of delicious food, from breakfast to lunch to dinner. We had the Mediterranean salad, four cheez and Margherita pizzas, shoestring fries, and some bakery stuff to takeaway. All delicious! Will definitely come back. Lalpu was a great member of staff, thank you! It is also in a great location in Chinatown, near its sister restaurant the Hungry Tapir - also worth a visit!!

Pros: Gorgeous interior and atmosphere, Great staff - thank you to Lalpu in particular, Delicious food

All vegan brunch! 🌱

LaGula offers a delightful brunch experience with, for example, exceptional vegan waffles and croissants (sweet and savory). The innovative menu caters to diverse palates, showcasing a perfect blend of flavors. The cozy designed ambiance and friendly service enhance the overall dining pleasure. A must-visit for brunch enthusiasts, especially those seeking delectable vegan options. Some days the music is very loud, but staff is able to adjust that on request😄#Veganuary

Wow! Best in Kuala Lumpur

Can’t recommend more highly! The food and atmosphere is amazing! We ordered the share platter for lunch and then came back the next morning and got the big breakfast with coffee and juice. The servers are also so kind and will help you out in any way possible! Do yourself a favour and try La Gula.

Tops Pizza and Tops Ice Cream

I came too late for the dinner menu after trying to find a vegan indian spot in Brickfields, which was closed on arrival and then walking by foot across six rivers of meatheads in cars. So much fortune as this restricted me to the late night pizza menu, which I would likely have passed up.

Surprise! Awesome pizza, with delicious mushroom satay sausage. And then the ice cream came and it was stellar, beyond compare. Tried three flavors, Durian, Strawberry and Vanilla. All of them tops. I was delighted to sit on the maenianum and watch the disco-like resto-bar below and enjoy excellent service and delightful food. Well done!

Fun place to dine in

An excellent restaurant for a meal.

We tried the X'mas menu, and it is quite 
tasty.
I appreciate the crews' cheerfulness and 
timely services.

Do try the croissant, macaroons, and nibbles 
platter. I think you'll enjoy it.

Pros: Ambience

Simply Awesome!

Went there for dinner and breakfast and let me just say - the food, the staff and the location are all amazing! They have western and traditional Asian cuisine - both are super tasty! They also offer so many pastries and desserts in general. Try the breakfast bagel, the avocado toast and the traditional 'fish' soup - best dish I had in Malaysia so far!!

FYI they used to only offer western food, now they diversified it and added some local dishes as well, so go check that out!

Pros: Awesome food, Nice talks with staff, Cute location (especially now at christmas time)

Cons: a little pricier (but worth it!)

Great but pricy

I went there twice for breakfast/brunch and loved the food. The cocktail I tried was not that nice though. As was mentioned by others already: it’s pretty pricy for Malaysia! Staff was friendly and interior is beautiful :).

Good breakfast

We came for breakfast and it was nice to have a pain au chocolat. Unfortunately not all of the pastry were available because they were doing a photoshoot (that's what I understood)
The coffee is way too expensive compared to other places though!

The place is really cute and it's a nice atmosphere with a lot of seats
Prices are just too expensive for Malaysia I think.

Go there for their breakfasts

Ngl I found their chocolate berry cake too coconut-heavy, but their breakfast options are amazing! I had the sambal croissant and the fried "see-food" filling was perfectly crispy and spicy. I tasted my mate's pizza and it was creamy and cheeeezzzy. Maybe the other cakes are actually better but I'd defo stick to savoury next time.

Funky and Delcious!!!

This is such a cool spot and a must for vegans in KL. Light, bright fun decor in this venue which is great for brunch, lunch, coffee and cake, or a date (especially if you get the tiered cushioned seating areas at the back). I ordered the ‘fish’ (banana blossom) and chips and an oat, peanut butter and banana milkshake - SO delicious!!! Couldn’t fit in dessert so got an apple slice and macarons to take away and wasn’t disappointed. The croissants and pastries looked delicious and are obviously popular. Very clean, tasty and stylish - great Instagram spot. Highly recommend!

Delicious pastries!

After a full day of eating (and walking) we stopped into La Gula. Same owners as The Hungry Tapir.
Vibes are good, very chill.
Vegan pastries, and other cakes. We might return for a full brekky.
Almond croissant was yum.

100% vegan!

Pros: All vegan , Good vibes

Cons: Not cheap

only sampled pastries

i didn’t have much time, so i just took some pastries to go. the apple one i didn’t really like but my friend ate it happily. i liked the scone and it would have been even better warm.

the cafe space is really beautiful and it would be a nice place to study, have a date, or just hang out. if i go back i would like to try the drinks and a savory option.

Not to be missed!

La Gula is a must stop if you are visiting KL. The restaurant is cool and trendy inside and the food is incredible. If my stomach was a bottomless pit I would have ordered more, especially trying items from the baked goods and dessert display. Everything we ordered was spectacular.

Good serving sizes, food was ok, felt like we paid mostly for the ambiance

Very cute cafe, as expected from the same owners of the hungry tapir. The food was ok but the big breakfast scramble was too salty. The cauliflower was delicious and the croissant and scone were average. Expect to pay more than what you’d find elsewhere

Really nice vegan food

Found this place on Google and seems to be the sister resturant to the other hungy tapir BUT 100% vegan.
We tried the pizza and the phish and chips. Both were tasty and are good portion size.
We also tried the cranberries mocktail, which was very refreshing.
Highly recommend if your plant based as there are so many options on the menu.
They also have a cake fridge, which looked amazing.

Pros: Lots of options, Tasty food, Nice staff

Wow, this place is AMAZING

We visited for brunch and the biggest problem was deciding what to eat. We decided on the big breakfast and the water plate to share and both were excellent. The menu reads really well and this will certainly be a ‘must visit’ every time we’re in KL from now on.
