If we know the 4 Cs, we should know the 4 Bs.

Bean Brothers Bukit Bintang. 

So continuing on in our little Bukit Bintang series, in a previous post we covered CC in BB: Capitol Cafe in Bukit Bintang. Today let’s hop on to BB in BB.

After lunch at Coffee Mingle at Sungei Wang, we crossed to the other side of Bukit Bintang for coffee at Bean Brothers in The Starhill. Ironic right?

Anyway, on to Bean Brothers MY – An Espresso Bar.

How to get to Bean Brothers.

If you’re riding the MRT or monorail in the city centre, stop at Bukit Bintang MRT or monorial. The Starhill is a short 5 minutes walk from the stations.

However, if you’re driving, you can park in The Starhill itself or in the nearby malls like Fahrenheit 88, Lot 10, and Pavillion.

Bean Brothers is on the ground floor of The Starhill.

For us, from Sungei Wang, we crossed the monorail connecting bridge to Lot 10, then continue walking on the pavement, bypassing Fahrenheit 88 to The Starhill.

In The Starhill, turn immediately to your right and right there at the corner is Bean Brothers BB – An Espresso Bar. 

Bean Brothers

Going back to what my friend commented. The bar is a long. Given its small size, you could probably sit about 10-20 people in a parallel line. 

Interior-wise, the bar had a very rustic and modern touch to it. The ceiling was beautifully curved and designed. On one side, of the bar, you’re looking at a aluminium half-wall. Turn around and you’re looking out into the street through a full-length window.

The full-length window brightens up the small, narrow bar with lots of natural light. Then the light bounces off the aluminium section of the wall.

From the full-length windows, you’ve a beautiful full view of Jalan Gading, Axon Residence, and Orion Residence. You can comfortably sip your coffee and do people watching. Daydream and watch as the people walk by you along Jalan Gading.

Anyway, now on to the beverage.

There’s an interesting coffee selection, aside from the usual long black, latte, mocha, etc. Being an espresso bar, they’ve their Signature, Barista’s Recommendation, Crowd Favourite, and Espresso (Single / Double Shot).

The Signature is the Espresso Con Panna.

Heat of a robust and rich espresso at the bottom. Then this cold velvety topping that i silky smooth, creating a refreshing contrast and delightful mouthfeel.

Espresso 1 and 1 is a direct mixture of a type of espresso and a black, white, mocha, maritozzo, or dacouoise. 

I had the Einspanner. It is iced black topped with cream which makes it a sweet and dessert-like beverage.

Googling Einspänner, it is Viennese Coffee with Whipped Cream.

It brings back memories of the Dalgona coffee days.

My friend, on the other hand, had the Black coffee, hot. 

We didn’t have to wait long for our coffees, as it seemed most people got it on the go instead of dining in and it was during lunch hour.

The coffee had a good kick to it and it left a strong impression.

If you’re looking to enjoy some coffee bean with your brothers during a coffee-break, there’s Bean Brothers.
