What recent reviews say

Most visitors praise the friendly staff and reliable food, particularly breakfasts and pastries like bagels and croissants. The coffee draws mixed views, with some noting it as average and others highlighting single-origin options.

LAVIE Boulangerie

LAVIE Boulangerie

4.4(273)✓ Google-verified

Pastry lovers consistently praise LAVIE's creative, well-balanced offerings, especially the pistachio and coconut items, for standing out despite the modest exterior. The space is quiet and calm, staff are efficient, and prices justify the quality. Diners note occasional inconsistencies in pastry texture and filling weight; seating is limited and somewhat awkwardly arranged. Recent experience shows the kouign amman and croissants have fluctuated in butteriness over the past year, though staff remain reliable. The hidden gem vibe attracts repeat customers willing to overlook the unassuming storefront and navigate the L-shaped counter layout.

Rekindle @ Damansara Uptown

4.2(391)✓ Google-verified

Most customers return for Rekindle's standout alcohol-infused cakes (tiramisu kahlua, rum-soaked gateau) and strong, non-acidic coffee in a quiet, dimly lit setting. The late-night hours appeal to groups wanting to linger, and staff are typically attentive when service clicks. A few report cakes arriving dry or underbaked, prices climb past RM22 for premium slices, and service lapses happen occasionally - worth checking the mood on arrival.

Baristar Coffee & Tea Express

Baristar Coffee & Tea Express

4.4(196)✓ Google-verified

Baristar holds a solid reputation for value-priced specialty drinks, especially house blend and chai latte, with a loyal crowd from nearby offices. Service speed and friendliness appear genuine when things go smoothly, but multiple reports flag drinks arriving barely warm, inconsistent matcha preparation, and defensive owner responses to complaints that undermine the experience. Parking strain during peak hours and per-item fees for ice and paper carriers have frustrated some. For someone after a quick, affordable coffee grab in Damansara Uptown, this remains a viable spot; those expecting premium consistency or constructive feedback channels should look elsewhere.
