October @ Peak Vista

The Best Coffee in Town.. ♥

Whilst you could find coffee shops everywhere in KL, how about in the city of Sabah - Kota Kinabalu? Not much of choices we have in KK, but at least there is an ideal one.

October Coffee House in Peak Vista, Tanjung Lipat, has the finest coffee in the Jesselton town. It is operated by a Korean family, whose owner is an experienced, professional coffee roaster. 

 

"October" represents the season of autumn, thereof great dedication is shown in designing the autumn-themed coffee shop by utilising all the brownish furnitures and fittings.

Menu is cheerfully displayed on the chalkboard. There are merely drinks and snacks obtainable in the October Coffee House.

Besides than those snacks written on the menu board, there are pastries such as cake, garlic bread, and October bun.

Cake @ RM6.50/pc

Garlic bread @ RM4.80/6pcs

October bun @ RM3.80/pc

From my perspective, a decent cup of coffee relies on three basic aspects: 

1. Strong fragrance is where the aroma of a fresh-ground coffee could be 
     easily smelled. 

2. Smooth body texture requires good quality of coffee beans with appropriate 
     processing methods. For the whites, of course the texture of steamed milk 
     is taken into consideration.

3. Great coffee flavour highly depends on the coffee beans' growing regions, its 
     roasting method, as well as the brewing methods.

October's coffee comprises these distinctive attributes that make it the best coffee shop in KK (my personal opinion).

House blend coffee beans are available for sale in packets.

Coffee is definitely my prioritised selection in every visit to the October Coffee House. Otherwise, there are non-caffeine beverages such as fresh fruit juice and herb tea, or everyone's favourite green tea latte. =P

Caffeine drinks..

Americano

Cappuccino

Latte

Mocha

Non-caffeine drinks..

Green tea latte

Camomile tea

Lemon mint juice

Bagel and scone are available throughout the operating hours.

Bagel with jam @ RM4.80/pc
Scone with cranberry jam @ RM5.80/2pcs

Other snacks are available only up to 6pm.

Bruschetta @ RM9.80
Grilled bread topped with succulent, spiced minced meat,
tomato, herb, garlic, onion, and perfectly covered by the mozzarella cheese.
A thumb-up for October's bruschettas! 

French toast @ RM7.80
You won't get greasy of October's toast as it is a healthier &
not-so-sweet version, topped with fresh fruits and grains.
A refreshing change of thought towards french toast after trying this.

Honey bread @ RM7.80, could be an alternative for the french toast,
just that it is topped with mixed nuts and cranberries.

Korean street toast @ RM7.80
It is an omelette-stuffed toast filled with carrots, cabbages, and hams.
Sauce is spreaded between the bread and the omelette, thus more juicy.

To be frank, it is hard to find a standard cup of good coffee in the town of KK. Therefore, October Coffee House will always be my first pick to go for a decent coffee. Not only the coffee is up to the standard I expect, the snacks are tasty too.
