If you’re hunting for a nostalgic dining experience in Johor Bahru, My KOL Cafe in Taman Melodies is a must-visit. The first thing that strikes you is the charming retro decorations, featuring a "modern vintage" aesthetic that blends sleek lines with old-school, nostalgic touches—perfect for those who love an Instagrammable backdrop. Beyond the visuals, the menu is impressively diverse. They offer a huge selection of food and beverages, ranging from their signature Ying Yang Taichi Curry Noodles (a unique red and green curry mix) to local favorites like Nasi Lemak and handmade noodles. Their beverage list is equally expansive, featuring everything from traditional Hainan coffee and tea to refreshing sparkling fruit sodas and Thai milk teas. Whether you’re there for a hearty breakfast or a cozy afternoon tea, the variety ensures there’s something for everyone.

first time visiting on Saturday, it wasn't crowded, we ordered their signature Taiji Curry noodles, it come with 2 different type of curry soup (red and green curry) and curry chicken nasi lemak (3 flavour of rice).The soup wasn't hot enough and the rice wasn't had any taste even though it was 3 flavour, good was the curry chicken, it's very delicious. The decor and ambience of the cafe is nice, a bit noisy but still can chit chat.It's worth to try, return to try others it's depends individual preference.

1st time here. Trying out since all reviews were all 5 stars. The food was really good. The coffee and teh peng were so rich. Don't be trick by their green curry they were spicy but good. Olive fried rice was good. Surprised by the mee siam, they added lime leaves to up the flavour. It was so good too. Today our meals were satisfying. We were trapped in the restaurant as sudden heavy rainpour. We requested for curry gravy refill since we need to burn time and finished up the bread bowl. Definitely coming back to try their extensive menus.

A nice and well decorated place. Clean and tidy. We ordered rhw dry prawn ban mien and the 猪肉粉 soup. Both were not too bad. What we like best is the coffee, very gao and fragrant (though the price is higher than that of other similar restaurant). Recommended!

If you’re visiting My KOL Cafe, come for the coffee! We tried several local varieties and the crema on each was perfection—unlike any other cafe we've visited. Food-wise, the Tai-Ji Curry Noodles are a great pick (the green curry side was my favorite!) and the Mee Siam is a solid choice. It was busy when we arrived before 10 AM, but the quality of the drinks makes the wait worth it. Will be back!
