Bean Brothers Starhill: A Hidden Espresso Gem in the Heart of KL

If you’re wandering around The Starhill in Bukit Bintang and need a caffeine fix, Bean Brothers is a spot worth checking out. Tucked away just below the escalator leading to Eslite Spectrum, this sleek little espresso bar is easy to miss—but once you’re in, it’s a vibe. The interior has that cool, industrial-chic feel with exposed brick, stainless steel accents, and warm lighting that makes the place feel cozy yet modern. It’s not a huge space, but it’s thoughtfully designed and perfect for a quiet break from the buzz of the mall outside. Their menu focuses on espresso, and they take their coffee seriously. I tried the Espresso Con Panna—strong and bold, topped with a smooth layer of cream and a hint of chocolate powder. It was rich, comforting, and just what I needed. They also offer other creative espresso-based drinks, and the baristas are happy to recommend something if you’re unsure what to try.
