What recent reviews say

Solid breads, pastries, and coffee draw regulars, with generous croissants and pastries priced well for Uptown. Service can shine when things run smooth, but a recurring cashier conflict has left several diners uneasy and questioning whether the experience is worth the tension.

Recent shift: A persistent cashier conflict has emerged across recent reviews (past week-plus) and is dampening otherwise positive sentiment. One 5-star review notes the cashier was absent on that visit, suggesting the issue may be staff-specific rather than systemic.

Praised for
  • good sourdough and pastries
  • well-made coffee
  • generous portion sizes and value
  • friendly staff (Mindy, Ming, Hossen)
  • fast service
Watch-outs
  • cashier rudeness and outbursts
  • sourdough quality inconsistency
  • portion sizes sometimes small
fresh-pastriesgood-valuefriendly-staffslow-service
Best for: People seeking quality breads and pastries in a casual all-day cafe setting.
Think twice if: Staff inconsistency, particularly cashier conflicts, has upset recent diners; factor in the possibility of service friction during peak times.

  • reasonable prices for Damansara Utama
  • all-day dining with vegetarian choices
  • consistent quality from named staff

Worth knowing

  • Named staff praised: Mindy, Ming, Hossen

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.

3 Cups Cafe

4.8(54)✓ Google-verified

Specialty coffee roastery known for smooth, layered dirty lattes and single-origin brews in a deliberately zen, quiet setting above Starling Mall in Damansara Utama. Not a trendy hipster spot but a calm retreat where freelancers and small groups work and unwind; the owner engages billingually with regulars. Prices run high, seating is tight, and parking requires Mall entry or weekend visits to avoid office-hour congestion.
