Posted on 21 July 2008Previously from Bangsar’s Telawi area, Cocomo Café has now relocated to this new housing area. Even though the café can be quite quiet, the surroundings are quite chaotic with double parkers all over the place due to the lack of parking spaces available.

Widely-known for its mojitos, caipirinhas, heaving bar and dance floor that packs Latin music and dance fans pretty much every evening of the week, Qba does have a relatively quieter and less hectic side. Upstairs, where the restaurant and cigar lounge are, has a grill that serves up inspiring and vibrant Latin American dishes. The menu of which recently just went through a refresh.
