Are you on the hunt for a good vegan breakfast in Kuala Lumpur?
It wasn't that long ago that it was almost impossible to find vegan food in Kuala Lumpur. Vegans were forced to modify the existing menu's, or stick to a plate of fries. However, in the last year, vegan food has grown tremendously in Kuala Lumpur, with many vegan specific options appearing on menu's.
Vegan Breakfast In Kuala Lumpur
More specifically, the vegan food trend has hit the breakfast scene more than ever. This list is all of the places I have tried, or want to try. The breakfast is Western style breakfast (think brunch / coffee / hash-browns and smoothie bowl type food. This is the type of food I seek when after a vegan breakfast in Kuala Lumpur!
1. Nourish by Kenny Hill Bakers
Nourish by Kenny Hill Bakers is a leader when it comes to vegan breakfast food in Kuala Lumpur. It has several options for vegans, including a big vegan breakfast fry up with beyond sausage, a chunky monkey granola bowl, and the granola yoghurt bowl.
I have tried all of these options and can safely say they are all tasty! My favourite is the granola yoghurt bowl. Make sure to ask for the vegan option, and the staff will swap out the greek yoghurt for coconut yoghurt. Simply delicious!
Also, the hash browns here are unbeatable!
Vegan Options: vegan big breakfast, granola yoghurt bowl, overnight oats bowl, coffee + juices
Location: Bukit Damansara, KL

2. Lisettes
A strong contender to Nourish, Lisettes is a well known amongst foodies in KL. At the moment there is only one vegan option on the menu for breakfast, the large vegan breakfast. There is something for everyone in this large breakfast, complete with a vegan sausage stuffed with vegan cheese, roast pumpkin, mushrooms, avocados with sesame seeds, tempeh hash, cherry tomato, baked beans, and sourdough toas. You won't leave hungry after this one!

4. Feeka
Feeka is a quaint cafe tucked away behind the busy partying street of ChangKat in Bukit Bintang. The only vegan breakfast options on the menu is the smoothie bowls. Even the smoothie bowls come with greek yoghurt so you will need to ask for them without. Therefore there actually isn't ANY vegan options on the menu. It has made the list though because of the location and cafe atmosphere!
Vegan options: tropical mango and tropical berry smoothie bowls (ask for it without yoghurt) + plant milk coffees & juices

5. Meet Joe
Meet Joe is the number 1 breakfast spot to get a smoothie bowl. They have four colourful options on the menu to choose from. The only other vegan brekkie option is the avocado on toast. You can also choose from a variety of plant milks and many delicious freshly squeezed juices

Kanteen is a cafe found in Mont Kiara at the ground floor of the Mont Kiara Banyan Condominium. Whilst there are many vegetarian options on the menu, the vegan options are still quite limited, with 1 vegan breakfast item, the Vegan Breakfast. Complete with toast, scrambled tofu, mushrooms, tomato, greens, baked beans, hash brown, and a vegan sausage
