Good news for those who studies at Sunway University, stay at around the area, or generally likes hanging about at this car tuners’ paradise – there’s yet another new coffee place!

I really like how new coffee places are now mushrooming all over the city, with many of them offering really quality coffee with some rather nice concepts. Gone were the days where espresso based coffee is only found at Starbucks and Coffeebeans.

Garage 51 is owned by the same people who run CoffeeSociete, so in terms of drinks, there’s already a pretty good reputation going on.

As for the cafe, like the name suggests, it is based on a garage theme. A volkswagen Beatle convertible by the side that is now an alfresco dining table, and seatings atop a container which is now a kitchen gives this place a pretty unique ambiance. I also really like the expansive high ceiling within the main area.

We tried their cafe latte and chai latte, and while the tea kinda turned out slightly sweeter than we would have liked it, the latte was excellent. Aroma of coffee well balanced with the silky smooth milk, just what a caffeine addict needed.

Other than caffeinated drinks and slices of cakes, Garage 51 also offers a small menu of dishes served after 6pm. There are only 5 items on it, and we tried two of them.

The grilled chicken (RM 19) I had was pretty decent. It came with homemade croquette potato and cauliflower as sides, the quarter chicken well marinated and the sauce compliments the meat pretty well.

Lamb shoulder (RM 22) with mashed potato and salad wasn’t executed nearly as well, but generally an okay dish.

Other entrees include olive aglio olio and a couple baked eggs dishes.

Garage 51 also serves brunch and carries speciality single origin coffee that changes from time to time. I didn’t try their Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Gelena Abaya coffee on my first visit, but I’m quite sure it is a place I’ll head to again in the near future.

    Loving the industrial-feel of cafes nowadays. Location wise, probably a hassle getting there and parking tho?

      spicysharon: parking is surprisingly a simple affair, especially at night.

    KY, Haze looked like she a student during mid term exams which I had that look also when was a students in school for BA and later grad school. Now free from school I still miss college life style but glad to be doing other things like helping check animals at shelter on my spare time and found some funny animals at shelter at time.

    A monkey and some rabbits some chickens also. A lamb was also brought in too. I visited my friends from school now is a vet at the zoo. Taking care of exotic is interesting but dangerous like tigers , leopards ect.
