JB cafe 10mins walk from checkpoint

If you're exploring JB and looking for a cafe that offers something a little different, Bluer House Cafe is definitely worth a visit. What struck me about this spot was not just its convenient location—a short 10 minutes on foot from the checkpoint or City Square Mall—but also the creative fusion of flavors they serve. The Golden Coffee, a blend of pomelo paste, salt water, coconut water, frappe syrup, and cold brew coffee, delivers a uniquely refreshing twist on traditional coffee. Its balance of flavors is something I hadn’t encountered before, offering a subtle tropical tang with the richness of cold brew. The Cold Brew Pear Tea also stood out, especially with popping boba adding a fun texture contrast. If you enjoy light and fruity beverages, this one might become your new favorite refreshment. On the food side, the Truffle Shroom Sourdough was a highlight. The wild mushroom infused with truffle oil paired perfectly with fresh greens, mozzarella, and truffle paste, creating a rich yet balanced sandwich that I found delicious and satisfying. The Balsamic Grilled Chicken Sourdough complemented this nicely with its Mediterranean sauce and balsamic glaze enhancing the herby grilled chicken breast, delivering deep flavors with freshness from the mixed greens and tomato. The cafe maintains a cozy ambiance, making it a great spot for casual meals or catching up with friends. Though the total bill was around RM 71.50, the quality and uniqueness of what you get feel worth the price. If you’re doing cafe hopping in Johor Bahru, adding Bluer House Cafe to your itinerary will give you a memorable taste experience. Don’t forget to try both the drinks and the sourdough sandwiches to fully appreciate their menu’s creative depth.
