Emery Coffee delivers what matters most to regulars: specialty coffee roasted in-house, croissants and croffles that hold their crispness, and a genuinely quiet space to work or meet friends. Food ranges from pastas to cakes, pricing hovers around RM15-22 per item, and staff respond quickly even for large event catering. Watch for parking tightness on the street and the occasional lapse in kitchen hygiene.
The cafe expanded here from Putra Heights in 2018 and backs its coffee credentials with the Emery School of Coffee, ranked among Malaysia's top 10 barista schools. Noise levels stay low, making it strong for both laptop sessions and casual catch-ups. One caveat: some reviewers note restroom facilities need attention, and weekend visits draw crowds that can test the nearby parking situation.
Staff excel at teaching games and making groups feel at home. The library spans 500+ titles in a bright, spacious room; drinks run around RM5 and are secondary to the experience.
Reviewers praise the cheap chicken rice and fast service during lunch crowds. Most customers take away rather than dine in. Review evidence is limited (2 older reviews spanning 9 years).
Purple Monkey built its reputation on cheesecake and desserts that reviewers consistently praise. The business now operates pickup and delivery only after scaling back dine-in service and shortening hours to 11am-6pm, which some customers found frustrating. Staff like Anis and Maisarah get named for friendly service, though the QR menu system leaves some confused.
