What recent reviews say

The space earns steady praise for fresh sourdough, pastries, and a relaxed atmosphere that draws regulars back. Kitchen speed on extras and consistency in bread softness are areas that trip up the experience now and then.

Praised for
  • fresh sourdough and pastries
  • cozy, quiet ambience
  • generous portions
  • friendly staff
  • good value for money
Watch-outs
  • bread texture inconsistency (hardness)
  • slow add-on dish service
  • weak specialty coffee flavors

Best for: People seeking quality sourdough sandwiches and a calm workspace away from busy mall traffic.
Think twice if: Order core items (sandwiches, pastries) over add-ons if time matters; bread softness varies and matcha drinks underperform.

Strengths

  • fresh pastries and sandwiches
  • quiet, comfortable setting
  • private parking available

Worth knowing

  • Private parking available at Damansara Jaya location
  • Sourdough uses wild yeast
  • Pastries are freshly baked in-house
  • Open-face sourdough sandwiches offered
  • Add-on sides (eggs, smoked salmon) can take 15+ minutes

Coffee quality and pricing draw regulars to this small Damansara Jaya neighborhood spot, where baristas like Chris and Jason remember faces and preferences. Expect a cozy but noisy setting ideal for quick drinks and takeaways, though laptop workers may struggle without power outlets.

Vegetarian food skeptics become converts here. Nyonya-style dishes (asam tofu, pongteh, sambal paku) are densely flavored and thoughtfully plated, served in a green, quiet space suited to family milestones. Staff are warm; portions feed 2-3 people generously. No MSG; all vegan. The menu rotates seasonal specials (pie tee, lotus root chips, hericium mushroom kapitan) and flourless cakes. Service is fast. Reviewers note it works equally well for everyday meals and celebrations like Parents' Day, and appeals to multi-generational diners.
