This Cafe in TTDI Helps Indie Artists and Small Businesses Promote Their Craft!

From Aether Cafe to Thursdvys, TTDI is a famous spot for cafe hopping. But among all these fancy looking places, there’s a spot you might not know even existed. Nestled above a mamak, Safehouse KL is not your common cafe but a creative hub.

Around a year ago, five young individuals, Alisya F, Farhan Fauzi, Hirendran Siva, Naufal Anwa and Sheldon Roy started Safehouse, a progressive and creative space.

“We want to offer a fun and supportive community for like-minded individuals,” said Safehouse. “We aim to provide facilities and an environment that can be easily modified to match every event”. 

WHY VISIT SAFEHOUSE?

Safehouse welcomes young creatives to gather and get familiarised with the creative scene of KL through their events. On normal days, Safehouse has a chill environment where people can come to relax and enjoy their in-house convenience store (@kuihzih) that features local F&B products.
