What recent reviews say

Every reviewer praised the kitchen's vegetarian Nyonya dishes-sambal paku, pongteh, asam tofu, kapitan hericium-for being rich, fragrant, and nothing like bland vegan food. The space feels serene and green, the plates arrive beautifully arranged, and staff are warm.

Diners specifically note the MSG-free, vegan-friendly approach, decent portions, and suitability for family gatherings. Parents' Day and birthday celebrations came up more than once as occasions when the flavors and peaceful setting made a real impression.

Coffee here punches well above its price point, with reviewers consistently praising the espresso and flat whites at RM4-6 alongside staff who know regulars by name. The tight, laid-back space suits quick visits and casual meetups better than long study sessions, since there are no power plugs and the ambient noise picks up during busy hours.

Reviewers return for the sourdough sandwiches and fresh pastries in a quiet, welcoming space. Staff treat regulars well, and pricing feels fair. The main friction point is bread texture-sometimes too thin or hard after toasting-and occasional slowness getting add-on dishes to the table while mains cool down.

Cheevit Cheeva, Uptown Damansara

4.6(307)✓ Verified

Cheevit Cheeva draws steady crowds for its signature bingsu varieties, especially pandan and mango sticky rice, praised for fine, melt-in-mouth ice and balanced sweetness. The cafe combines friendly service and a calm, Instagram-ready setting with soothing green tones, though parking challenges and occasional unevenness in drinks temper the otherwise warm experience. Staff work fast even during full hours, desserts like tiramisu and cheesecake earn consistent repeat visits, and the loyalty card rewards regulars. Note that finding parking during peak Saturday nights is a real friction point, and drinks occasionally arrive over-iced or bland relative to the price.
