Espressolab Greentown

Espressolab, after its first café landed in Ipoh Garden, the second one is now in Greentown. It serves really nice coffee that is rich in aroma. And this branch in Greentown is occupying an old building, probably at the age of 40 years old. Despite similar good coffee and delicious food, Espressolab Greentown is different in decoration. The chessboard background is pretty unique and attractive, which I especially like the distorted images seen from the bottle. It's really good to have one more nice café in town.
