The adage ‘the early bird gets the worm’ is true for most workaholics who head out bright and early in order to beat the traffic jam woes. However, being stuck behind a long queue of cars is not fun at all, and if there is an option to avoid it whilst also getting the tummies filled, then that would be the best solution of all.

These 12 cafés around Klang Valley would make for good places of detours for a quick meal before a busy day at the office. Best part is that they are all open by 8 in the morning (except 3 of them which opens at 8.30am) and serve a wide breakfast spread which means you get to have good food in your tummy by 8.30am before you head off to your busy day.
