Chagee WOLO Bukit Bintang: A Flagship Outlet with Cityscape View | ENGLISH
Three years after establishing its first flagship outlet in Malaysia, Chagee opened a Global Flagship Store at WOLO Hotel Bukit Bintang.
The grand opening, which took place on 17 October 2025, also served as a celebration of Chagee's 200th store milestone in Malaysia. On the same day, the tea chain also launched a flagship store at Sunway Pyramid.
Chagee WOLO KL sits right beside Damascus Restaurant and faces the iconic Bukit Bintang crossings. Can you guess what brand it replaced...? Yes, it replaced Starbucks, which closed around May 2025. This move is interesting considering Chagee's ambition to become the "tea version of Starbucks."

As one of China's most renowned tea chains, Chagee has established itself as a premium tea bar with a modern, distinctive design. In that sense, this outlet is no different.
The 2-story outlet presents an industrial theme with its signature gold accents, creating a warm and bright experience. Chagee also added several design features and art displays, making the space a haven for social media and photography enthusiasts.
The main attraction here is a wall installation depicting Kuala Lumpur cityscape (made of woven fabric and paintings).

Similar to Starbucks' layout, it boasts a high ceiling-to-floor design with the first floor serving as the main level where customers can order and collect their orders. There are several merchandise and tea box displays. On this floor, seats are available, but quite limited.
The second floor is mainly used for seating. Here, customers can choose three seating options: bean bag chairs, regular table for groups, and bar table ideal for individual customers. FYI, a direct view of the Bukit Bintang crossing can be seen from certain spots.
