COFFEE. The love of many people's life. The potion that turns you from zombie to human. The survival juice that has to run through your veins before you can function. Admit it. This drink is a big deal. Knowing that, Resorts World Genting has brought the number 1 coffee roaster in France to Sky Avenue. Cafes Richard (pronounced Ree-charr) not only a place for the coffee junkies but also a haven for coffee connoisseurs.

This cafe is for those who have a more discerning palate in food and fashion. Other than its expertise in coffee, it also replicates the French
joie de vivre with seats facing the streets (or in this case the walkway) and a beautiful outdoor platform where customers can add a little sunshine to their coffee.

Cafes Richard takes their products very seriously. Everything brewed, cooked and baked here are of explicit quality and know-how. A little chat with their coffee ambassador, Thibaut K. Bidi is a testament to how committed they are to excellence. According to this coffee encyclopedia, coffee appreciation is no less than the appreciation for wine and the benefits of respecting the drink is enjoyable.
