Aku Cafe & Gallery offers the perfect spot in Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown neighbourhood to unwind and relax with a cup of aromatic coffee. The cafe is a comforting space created by a Malaysian film producer for his friends and other creative people to meet and express their individualistic style and talent. It is a convenient place either for an intimate chat or to hold brainstorming sessions in an inspiring environment. Tucked away from the busy street of Jalan Sultan, the cafe is located on the first floor of a Chinese association's building on Jalan Panggong (formerly known as Theatre Lane). It offers travellers, writers, artists, collectors, filmmakers and coffee connoisseurs a tranquil space to escape from their hectic schedule, at least for a few hours. Events related to music, films and food as well as art exhibitions are held from time to time for regulars who appreciate culture at a closer level.
