Staff shortages and occasional quality slips aside, Tsuru Tsuru delivers consistently good udon, curry, and specialty coffee in a calm, pet-friendly setting. The two house cats charm visitors and guests can bring their own; the cafe feels especially welcoming to people who value quiet over crowds. The space is clean with decent air conditioning and plug points for work. Service is warm, portions generous, though food prices run slightly above average for the area. Lunch rushes create waits, and baked goods have drawn complaints about burning.

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.

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.
