Keijometo JB: Menu, Prices & Review for Singapore Visitors
Here’s the honest truth up front: Keijometo isn’t in Singapore — it’s in Johor Bahru, ten minutes from the checkpoint, and half its weekend crowd crossed the causeway to get there. The industrial-monochrome cafe at Taman Melodies became the most Instagrammed JB cafe among Singaporeans on the strength of its matcha programme and Japanese cafe food.
The signatures: strawberry matcha iced latte, osmanthus matcha, mentaiko tamago sando (RM18–RM20) and salmon ochazuke (RM30). If the matcha craving strikes without a passport, the Luckin Coffee menu covers affordable matcha lattes locally. For Japanese desserts without the border run, the Warabimochi Kamakura menu is worth a look.
Below is the Keijometo menu with approximate 2026 prices in Malaysian Ringgit (with SGD equivalents): drinks, sandos, mains and desserts — plus what to order and the practical questions for the JB trip.
Keijometo Menu: Drinks & Prices
The drinks menu is the main event — an extensive matcha and tea line-up alongside coffee. Mains serve from 11:30am; note mains stop after 5pm-ish service changes, so time your visit. Prices below are approximate in RM (roughly divide by 3.5 for SGD).
Matcha & Tea
The reason for the hype. Strawberry Matcha Iced Latte, Osmanthus Matcha, Lychee Matcha Iced Tea, Matcha Tea Lychee and Hot Ajisai Latte (RM14) — rich, thick, proper matcha. The osmanthus matcha (floral-earthy) is the connoisseur’s pick; the strawberry matcha is the Instagram star.
