Just Want Cafe

从外观来看,Just Want Cafe,就像在台湾某处的一个小咖啡馆。店面的座位不多不过麻雀虽小五脏俱全。
如果对咖啡泡制有兴趣的人,建议可以坐在吧台,顺便和老板Nelson聊一聊咖啡经。
JustWant, 可说是Jb第一家,咖啡专卖店,开始创业的是两位留学台湾的年轻人。
凭着对咖啡的热忱在JB开这类中高消费的咖啡馆需要相当大勇气。
因为,Jb 并没有很浓的咖啡文化,加上平均消费能力不高,一杯7.7rm的咖啡不是
每个人可以接受的价位。
如今,justwant, 不但开阔了新市场,也带起了Jb咖啡文化,造就更多的咖啡馆如Maco cafe, yardely
一路走来确实不易。
早期自家烤咖啡豆的justwant, 已经不再自己炒咖啡豆,而选用烤好现成的咖啡豆。其中的Espresso beans, 来自新加坡著名的
Highlander coffee.
在这里,你也可以尝到Luwak, 狸猫咖啡,全球最贵的咖啡豆。
我一如往常,点了杯最爱的Cuppicino慢慢享受着下午的慵懒。
Frontage looks contemporary,  the same cant be said for its neighbors

Small seating capacity, cosy is another word

Bar counter allows you to see 1st hand on the barista's skills

cappuccino anyone?
Selection is limited, and they dun bake their own cakes...
From the exterior of Justwant cafe, one would quickly forgotten that you are actually in JB. This small cafe is the brain child of 2 young man whom studies in Taiwan, which explains their coffee style presentation, renovation eludes a more oriental approach. They do serve ice drip coffee and Luwak, currently the most expensive coffee you could find.
As the pioneer in specialty coffee, it is risky to bring in such business model into JB as,
A) there isn't a huge coffee culture in JB
B) the affordability issues of most working class would find a 7 RM coffee expensive compare to your Kopitiam goodness 1.40 rm kopi.
After a short span of 1 year, they not only succeed in educating their customers about coffee appreciation, there was even a series of cafe's opening as a result of their efforts. Kudos.
One thing to take note, their espresso beans also carries the Singapore Highlander brand.
