Don’t be fooled by it’s tough exterior, Keijometo is actually a very cool, extremely aesthetic cafe in JB. As the name suggests, they’re a Japanese-inspired cafe, and they’re also a studio to take pictures at. The interior is just as cool as the exterior; there’s a piano inside an unfinished-looking room, an old TV, even the tables are made of concrete. The industrial vibes is enough of a reason to visit, but the food is actually pretty good too! We definitely recommend one of their specialty matcha drinks when you visit Keijometo on your next cafe hopping trip.
