What do recent reviews say?

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.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Baristar Coffee & Tea Express

4.4(197)✓ Google-verified

Baristar delivers solid specialty coffee and tea drinks at prices that appeal to office workers in Damansara Uptown. Their Chai Latte and Hazelnut Latte earn consistent praise, and the house blend attracts regulars seeking affordable daily quality. Service and execution are the friction points. Drinks frequently arrive lukewarm rather than hot; matcha preparations have been gritty and unblended; some customers report rude or defensive staff when raising concerns. Parking is tight during business hours.
