JDM Cafe

JDM Cafe is a new cafe in the Selaman industrial park at Bandar Baru Bangi, south of Kuala Lumpur, built for the Japanese car crowd by the operator behind the abemey82 Instagram account. It is a destination in itself for JDM owners in the Klang Valley: the point of going is the cars parked outside and the people who bring them, with coffee as the excuse.

Inside it is garage styled: a checkerboard floor, car posters, wheels on the walls, model cars, round ceiling lights and a mural wall set up for photos, with cars displayed behind mesh and food served at trackside style tables. The menu is cafe fare, specialty coffee, food and desserts at ordinary Bangi cafe prices rather than a full restaurant.

There is no fixed meet schedule; owners turn up when they turn up, so what is parked outside changes by the day and evenings are the busiest. The cafe's Instagram is where anything organised would appear.

• Best known for: the JDM cars parked out front. Skylines, Silvias and other Japanese performance cars come and go with their owners, so the line up is never the same twice.
• The room: checkerboard floor, mesh screened car displays, wheels and posters on the walls, model cars, and a mural wall that most visitors photograph.
• Food and drink: specialty coffee, cafe food and desserts. No themed dish names have been published.
• Driver logistics: it sits in an industrial park with street and lot parking around it, so bringing a car you care about is the norm.
• Meets: nothing scheduled. Evenings draw the crowd and the gathering happens organically. Follow instagram.com/abemey82 for anything organised.
• The rest of the group: a cafe first, so non enthusiasts are fine; it is a photo spot as much as a car spot.

• Hours are published as 12pm to midnight daily, but map listings show a Monday closure and a later Friday start; check the cafe's Instagram before a long trip.
• Industrial park location: easy parking, best reached by car.
• No set car meet; evenings are busiest and the cars outside depend on who visits.
• Cafe menu rather than full meals; no menu prices published.
