Pacific Coffee Company

Just beside St. Jo's main entrance at Gurney Paragon is Pacific Coffee Company. It's dark brown woven outdoor furniture with bright red cushions are certainly eye-catching. This new coffeehouse from Hong Kong serves a wide selection of coffees brewed from ground Arabica beans, ice-blended non-coffee beverages, a few juices and a variety of Gryphon tea. Although their coffees are perfectly adequate, I'd recommend a cup of their aromatic Earl Grey Lavender tea that will relax and cool you down during hot and humid afternoons. The tea costs RM8.90++ and is served in a large dark green cup. Couple it with either a piece of cake from their ready selection on display or a big-sized Baker's croissant that is served warm and is crispy outside while cotton-soft inside. Tear of a bite-sized chunk and spread some butter onto the still warm piece and you'll experience a bite of heaven. The croissant is RM3.90++ and it comes with butter and jam. Besides their beverages and cakes, they serve pastries, a few types of sandwiches and pies. Naturally, they also sell the ground coffee beans from which they brew their coffee from, in the cafe. Su Aziz.
