What recent reviews say

Hartton Kitchen draws crowds for brunch with genuinely generous portions, fresh-tasting ingredients, and a bright, photogenic space that suits lingering with friends. The menu spans healthy bowls and fried items cooked without grease, with standouts like thick egg toast and truffle pasta; prices feel fair, though some find drinks marked up. Staff are mostly friendly, though one visitor wished for more warmth, and the air conditioning can struggle on busy days.

The cafe sits in PJ Uptown near Starling Mall and works well for solo laptops or group hangs alike. Parking requires either spotting a space nearby or using the multi-storey. Vegan options and halal-friendly dishes appear on the menu, making it accessible across dietary needs.
