ICYMI: Kyoto-Born Coffee Brand % Arabica Opens Two New Stores in KL

Calling all coffee enthusiasts! In case you didn’t know, % Arabica, the beloved coffee brand from Kyoto, Japan, has opened not just one - but two new stores in Kuala Lumpur!

Both unveiled late last month, the two new % Arabica stores are located at shopping destinations Pavilion Damansara Heights and The Exchange TRX. This brings % Arabica’s Malaysian locations to a total of three, adding to its inaugural branch at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.

Nestled at the underground entrance of The Exchange TRX, the brand’s second store is designed with a “cylindrical laboratory” concept, which was developed by Japanese design studio no.10. The design exudes a futuristic vibe with its 360° view counter equipped with curved glass, giving the impression of a “laboratory” where % Arabica’s coffees are being brewed.

Meanwhile, the Pavilion Damansara Heights branch takes inspiration from Malaysia’s popular tourist hotspot, the Batu Caves. Designed by Paris-based creative studio Archiee, the store blends indoor comfort and outdoor vibes with a grotto-inspired ambiance, as well as lime-finished ceilings and walls that bring attention to the cafe’s innovative counter.

With the new store openings, more locals and tourists can now get a taste of % Arabica’s freshly brewed coffee blends and other refreshing beverages, along with scrumptious pastries and desserts.
