Art Toys Café by Milolo has opened its first outlet at Sunway Pyramid Mall in Petaling Jaya, and plans to add six more outlets in Klang Valley by next year.
The quaint and whimsical art toys-themed café aims to be a haven for visitors to savour their favorite food and beverages while immersing themselves in a vibrant collection of limited-edition designer toys and collectables.
The official opening ceremony of Toy Arts Café was launched on Nov 23, 2024 by the founder Datuk Millan Lee and co-founder Datin Michelle Lee, in the presence of many media outlets, well-known bloggers, key influencers and members of the art toys creative community.
In his welcome speech, Datuk Millan Lee said Art Toys Café is a unique extension of its existing arts toys merchandise business Milolo which started during the MCO period, with the first outlet at Pavilion Bukit Jalil and expanded its presence to five outlets, including one at Sunway Pyramid Mall.
“We aim to create an interactive space where our customers can engage with their favourite art toys in a relaxed and comfortable environment over some pastries and drinks, hence the creation of the very first Art Toys Café.
“We hope to open another one by the next quarter,” he said.
Art toys, also known as designer toys, are collectible toys created by artists and designers. They are either self-produced or made by independent toy companies, normally in very limited editions.
Art Toys Café is a fusion of art, culture and relaxation. This blend of café culture with creative expression is expected to attract art enthusiasts, toy collectors and those seeking special toys and an artistic ambience.
The café will also provide opportunities for guests to purchase exclusive art toys, making it a one-of-a-kind destination for both dining and discovery.
It’s the perfect spot for families and friends to relax and to be creative. Patrons can enjoy artisanal coffee, pastries and cakes in a cozy but vibrant environment filled with oversized and various art toys.
The café is filled with regular or oversized toys of various popular characters from the highly sought-after Labubu, Zimomo, Pokémon and Disney, among many others, including ones that can be found in blind boxes.
“There is no age limit for art toys fans. They can be young or old. Everyone can appreciate and enjoy it as they will our Art Toys Café,” said Datuk Millan.
On his expansion plans, Datuk Millan revealed the brand has planned for further expansion in 2025.
“This is our very first concept outlet but we plan to open another six more outlets in Klang Valley by next year, and maybe even in other states when demand arises.
“We also plan to open a larger flagship outlet which combines both Milolo and Art Toys Café in a single space, making the new outlet even more attractive in the near future,” he said.
Art Toys Café is located at Lot F1.89A on the first floor of Sunway Pyramid’s new Oasis wing, a reimagined retail space providing a seamless and elevated customer experience with new concepts and offerings.
Customers can enjoy Instagrammable environment and instantly huggable toys, and indulge in treats such as pastries especially butter croissants, cakes and handcrafted drinks.
The pastries are made from imported ingredients, including butter from France. Kids can also enjoy the adorable Labubu-themed butter cookies here.
The toys at Art Toys Café will be rotated from time to time, especially the hard-to-get latest limited-edition ones.
Datuk Millen also revealed that Art Toys Café will be hosting toy artists from all over the world at their café for meet-and-greet activities, including a popular toy artist from Taiwan and Zombie Party artist from China meeting with their fans at the café.
Artists can also host their events at the café and it will be promoted through Milolo and Art Toys Café physical outlets and social media channels.
