LAVIE Boulangerie

4.4(280)✓ Google-verified

LAVIE Boulangerie earns its 4.4 rating mainly on pastries and shio pan. Reviewers say prices feel fair for the quality, and many return for the same bakes. The room is plain and bright, so most people come for the food rather than the look. Shoppers mention the mochi croissant tart, pistachio pastries, scallion cream cheese rice bun, and egg tarts. A few praise the carbonara and breakfast plates. One reviewer found the almond croissant light on filling, and one visit felt awkward.

Matte Culture Cafe

Matte Culture Cafe

4.8(153)✓ Google-verified

Regulars return year after year for coffee that delivers on taste without the usual markup. Americanos and espresso shots cost RM4-6, and staff like Chris and Jason remember orders and treat visitors as neighbours. Housemade tiramisu, flat whites, and ice matcha lattes with alternative milks appear regularly, though the compact space gets loud during peak hours. The atmosphere works best for quick stops or solo work rather than group hangouts. Panini sandwiches and pastries complement the drinks well. No fuss about outside food, and they open early at 7am, making it a reliable spot for the Damansara Jaya morning crowd.
