Famous Amos is one of the two cafes that has opened in Komtar JBCC (the other is Coffee Bean) as of 10 August 2014. Yes, you read that right- cafe.
Since when does Famous Amos have a cafe? Oh wait, I did some Googling and besides this one, they have it in SS2 and Alamanda Shopping Centre. So yes, it's not the first one, but it's my first one...also Johor Bahru's first one hehe
business in the front
party in the back! well, there's not much of a party here hahaha
The kiosk is just like any regular Famous Amos outlets, except they have more than just cookies, candies and gift hampers... they have drinks, ice cream and cakes!
In the drinks section, they have coffee, chocolate, tea, frappuccinos, milkshakes (you can try bringing the boys to the yard LOL), ice tea, yogurt, smoothie, Italian soda and float! That's a whole lot of choice, if you ask me!

For their opening promotion, buy any Signature Frappe and get the 2nd for 50%! There's 4 drinks from the signature menu- Double Cookie Crunch(DCC), Mac Nutty Crunch(MNC), Mocha Frappe and Chocolate Frappe.
Famous Amos cookies! They smell sooo goooood!
My favourite is this Black Beauty aka Double Chocolate Chip Pecan Nut ❤
The prices of these tea time snacks are rather reasonable, won't feel much of a pinch if you were to take a short break from shopping to just rest those achy legs. Plus, they have 30% off on their combos!
cakes, brownies, pies
Lastly, the ice creams! Their very own ice creams!!! I'm gonna try it out when I go back there cz I wanna know what their Amos Creamy ice creams taste like! I honestly didn't know they had their own ice creams...and like I said, drinks too O.O

During this visit, there was only mom and me as we were waiting for the time to pick up Rebecca from school. So I got us the Double Cookie Crunch and at a last minute, decided to get the Mac Nutty Crunch for Rebecca(50% off!) Yay! I get to try both :P
Mac Nutty Crunch // Double Cookie Crunch
Now's a good time to patronize the Famous Amos cafe, even if it's just to test the waters cz with the opening promotion and discount off the combos, you can maximize your money! Say you decide that it doesn't satisfy your palate, at least you didn't pay the full amount XD
Drinks 2.5/5
I had mid-high expectations for the 2 drinks I tried out cz 1)DCC has my favourite Black Beauty and 2)MNC sounds appealing hahaha However, both were rather disappointing. They tasted of cheaper range ingredients and reminds me of JCo's drinks. The grounded nuts taste/smell oily and I think they can be a bit more generous with the whipped cream...and there was too much ice. I really dislike my ice blended drinks to have too much ice cz then I'll have to wait for it to melt when I reach the last quarter. As much as I hoped DCC tastes better, I felt MNC tasted slightly better when melted and the whipped cream has mixed with the drink.
Drinks, pies, cakes, ice cream and cookies. It's tea break sufficient!
Price 3.5/5
While the pricing is actually reasonable, based on the drinks..I'd rather fork out another RM2 to get myself a cup of Starbucks frappe.
Seating 4/5
Small area, but compact. Can hold up to 16 people at a time.
Service 3/5
The service was understandably sloooow. I was forgiving cz I was busy taking photos for this blog post and also because it's a new cafe...takes the staffs some getting used to. I waited for like 10 mins for 2 drinks and I was the only customer then.
For those of you who never knew a Famous Amos cafe existed or you know but haven't got the chance to visit, do make a pit stop while shopping at Komtar JBCC! (I almost typed Sephora...that shows how much I equate Sephora to Komtar haha It's pretty much the only store I go to Komtar for :X)
ps: Sorry for the low quality photos, been depending on my phone camera only for the past year. While my S4 has a dependable and rather good camera in better lighting, it doesn't work its wonders in low light. Depending on my phone's camera alone has been bugging me recently cz I have a Sony digital camera and I loved the colour it produced. Unfortunately, it's old and frail so I don't use it much anymore. Therefore, I'm starting to save up for a new camera. Hopefully I can get one in 10 months! *fingers crossed*
