Seoul Espresso @ Uptown 5

4.2(53)✓ Verified

Staff take time explaining each drink and nail the temperature, making Seoul Espresso a solid pick for specialty coffee drinkers who want something smoother than bitter. The space is minimalist and cramped, but the signature Seoul Americano, lattes, and pastries like kouign-amann and tiramisu draw regulars back; expect to go for takeaway or a quick session if you want a seat.

Hartton Kitchen - Pj Uptown

4.3(269)✓ Verified

Hartton Kitchen draws steady praise for large portions, fresh ingredients, and a bright, Instagram-worthy setting ideal for brunch or casual catch-ups. Breakfast sets and egg toast are standouts. The space feels welcoming and unhurried, though a few note drinks cost extra and air conditioning could be stronger. Pricing sits reasonable for portions and quality; water costs RM1.20 per glass. Parking nearby at Starling Mall or the multi-storey. Vegan options available. Staff friendliness varies slightly by visit, but the overall draw is the food quality and calm atmosphere.
