Commoners Space

Looking just like another office in the sleepy suburbs of Section 13, Commoners Space is the newest addition to Shah Alam’s café scene. The interior is intentionally kept low-key – the white walls are clean and bare, save for a framed cover of Hypebeast and a portrait of Basquiat. The café’s love for minimalism is also reflected in their menu and, most importantly, the prices, most of which are under RM15. The café tries to incorporate local ingredients into their dishes, such as the pesto linguine topped with ulam. Besides baking their own sourdough bread for their sandwiches, the café also brews their own kombucha, a type of fermented tea.
