Why go
Relocated into JB City Square mall (formerly on Jalan Trus), Faculty of Caffeine is the specialty-coffee play with zero travel time for RTS day-trippers. Basque burnt cheesecake (RM24.90) and the Pistachio Latte (RM19.90) are the known orders.
Reviews are mixed on value (small portions, service charge despite self-service) — best used as a quiet pre-departure coffee. Hours likely follow mall hours (~10am–10pm) but are unverified.
