    JWC, The Factory 30Pork free d90bfb235d64e73ff14d8ad65b89aaab71a3af43962907cb9cd494af0a63fa21Alco free 9fb1f2c65edc2c1eaf4e8b24402d108dd33cc2bc71f0fb0022a54c3c390a66c8

    No, this is not your usual school excursion to visit a factory; instead, feast your eyes upon this beautifully refurbished warehouse turned café. The high ceiling and shutter doors give off a very industrial atmosphere, truly an attraction for café hoppers seeking novelty. In addition to the aberrant décor, you will also be able to relish in some amazing blends of coffee and warm, fluffy waffles.
    Tips

    May be crowded at times, so be prepared to queue.

    Things to expect

    An industrial concept café, awesome desserts.

    Vanilla Bean

    Despite being a new face in the cafe scene of Johor Bahru, Vanilla Bean has been reaping up positive reviews. Interior-wise, it’s a clever mix of contemporary and comfort with plenty of natural light showered all over the space. As far as the food in concerned, choices are far from short, especially for sugar junkies out there. Expect a wonderful array of handcrafted home baked cakes and waffles that are happily turning visitors fat. Think creative combinations like salted egg yolk charcoal waffle, Teh Tarik waffle and Odeh-odeh waffle. If savoury is more your thing, big breakfast and panini grill does not disappoint. Also, their freshly brewed coffees certainly know to complement any sort of dishes you have selected. Another important factor – yes, they all do look Instagrammable! 

    Tips

    Healthy junkies may opt for their cold pressed juices

    Things to expect

    Good service, nice interior and vast selection of cakes

Also, it isn’t really complete without some coffee complementing your meal, which will also not fail to please you with over here.
