Dyslexia Cafe emerges as a platform to dispel misconceptions and raise awareness about the challenges faced by individuals with dyslexia.
Owned by the talented Chef Amer, Dyslexia Cafe stands out not just for its mission but also for its commitment to freshness. Dyslexia Cafe bakes its own pastries, offering innovative creations like the trending crombolone—a delightful fusion of croissants and Italian bombolone doughnuts. The cafe also extends its services to events and festive seasons, showcasing a diverse menu of cookies and snacks.
Amer shared that the cafe embraces variety, updating its menu monthly with a blend of local and Western cuisines. The diverse offerings range from traditional Malay desserts and pastries to pasta and chicken chop. Beyond the cozy ambience of the cafe, Dyslexia Cafe extends its reach with convenient food delivery services, ensuring the flavorsome creations reach patrons across the vibrant Klang Valley.

This cafe serves not only as a culinary haven but also as a community hub for families facing similar challenges. The presence of Amer, a dyslexic chef, is a source of inspiration for parents seeking support and understanding. Despite actively promoting job opportunities for dyslexic individuals, the lack of applicants underscores the ongoing challenge of undiagnosed dyslexia, especially in older generations.
In addition to Amer’s leadership, Dyslexia Cafe proudly includes Abdul Qhaliq Al Azfari Muhammad, a 25-year-old pastry chef and coffee master who, like Amer, is dyslexic. Together, they bring a unique perspective and talent to the culinary scene.
