Discover a charming oasis in the heart of Bukit Bintang at Swee Lee Cafe, located on the 3rd floor of the vibrant Lot 10 Shopping Centre. This unique cafe blends the worlds of great coffee and music, offering an experience that goes beyond just beverages. A hidden gem within the renowned Swee Lee guitar shop, this cafe invites both music enthusiasts and casual visitors to unwind in an inviting atmosphere filled with creativity

.

Stepping into Swee Lee Cafe, you are greeted by the lively buzz of customers exploring guitars, the sounds of classic American tunes filling the air, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafting from behind the counter. The decor is an eclectic mix of vintage guitars and music memorabilia, creating an artistic backdrop that enhances the café's dynamic vibe. The open space encourages interaction, with customers often trying out instruments while others dive into conversations or enjoy some quiet time with a book or board games provided on-site.

Swee Lee Cafe’s menu caters to a range of tastes, with standout items like the smooth Flat White, priced at just RM9, noted by patrons as the best coffee in Kuala Lumpur. The Americano is equally robust and flavorful, making it a perfect choice for your morning fix or an afternoon rejuvenation. For lunch, enjoy a value-packed combo meal with drinks for just RM15, a favorite among regulars like Riz Baldivia, who praises the cafe for its amazing food and inviting atmosphere. This spot is bustling during lunch hours but offers a quieter experience as the day goes on, making it an ideal location to catch up on work or simply relax.

Customer reviews speak volumes about the cafe’s charm and allure. Vivian W mentions discovering this hidden treasure while exploring guitars, highlighting the cafe's vibrant energy and ample reading material to enjoy while sipping on coffee. Christopher Acarregui echoes this sentiment, describing the combination of the guitar store, vinyl records, and wonderful music as an incredible package. The engaging atmosphere, however, comes with a caveat—some customers, like Badri Daud, suggest that inclusivity for left-handed musicians could enhance the experience for all.

Whether you are a musician looking for inspiration, a coffee lover seeking a cozy locale, or anyone in between, Swee Lee Cafe promises a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Come for the exceptional brews, stay for the vibe, and leave feeling creatively charged—this is one café you won’t want to miss when in Kuala Lumpur!

This place is a true haven of relaxation and charm. With great music flowing from the speakers, people trying out instruments, and the lively buzz of a basketball game just outside, the atmosphere is vibrant and engaging. When it comes to coffee, their Flat White, priced at 9RM, is the best I've tasted in KL so far. Major kudos to the barista – not only for their exceptional skills in crafting the perfect cup but also for their welcoming smile and friendly conversation. Located in Lot 10

Awesome store! There is an amazing guitar store here, plus a large selection of vinyl records and a wonderful cafe with great coffee and smoothies. In addition, their choice of class American music is wonderful!

Would be nice if you’d be more lefty inclusive, and not just the guitars, but also ukuleles.

This is a hidden cafe within Swee Lee guitar shop. Stumbled across it while browsing guitars. Ordered coffee Americano (RM7 nett). Coffee is robust and flavorful. There's guitar magazines to browse, board games and old guitars for public use at the cafe area. the place has good vibe, just that it's noisy cos it plays loud music and sharing the same space with guitar store.

Amazing coffee and food. Lunch time they do have combo food and drinks for only 15 RM. Love the vibe. Little hideaway in lot 10. Cool deco with guitars and all. lunch usually a bit jampacked but less crowd afterwards. Good spot to get your work done! Will come back!

Words cannot explain why I love this hidden cafe!!! Professional and warm service from the staff…. High quality of coffee beans so as the drinks. And most important is….they are very helpful to follow up and find my lost item as I’m so absent minded and forgot to bring my AC adaptor. Many thanks! A very warm and lovely cafe.
