Jaga Café brews coffee and community amidst greenery

Jaga Café, a newly opened café nestled within the lush greenery of Perdana Botanical Gardens in Kuala Lumpur, offers visitors a unique blend of coffee and community. Located just a 15-minute stroll from the gardens' main car park, or accessible via nearby parking spots, Jaga Café serves as a sanctuary for those seeking a break from the daily grind.

Co-founders Brandon Lee and Daniel Woodroof, known for their work in the marketing agency Pandan Social, aim to create a space for people to connect offline and recharge amidst the city's concrete jungle.

The café boasts a selection of scrumptious light bites and gourmet beverages, curated by three-time Malaysia Brewers Cup champion Shaun Liew of Story of ONO Specialty Coffee. Their coffee, with a lighter roast, is specially tailored for post-run enjoyment, while the bar counter is made from recycled plastic waste and melted bottle caps, reflecting the café's commitment to sustainability.

Jaga Café's ultimate goal is to create a vibrant social calendar filled with events like yoga, birdwatching, runs, talks about tropical architecture, chess socials, and potential live music performances, all while encouraging visitors to disconnect from their screens and reconnect with their natural surroundings.
