CREAM — Restaurant in Petaling Jaya

For coffee lovers.. coffee enthusiasts.. hardcore coffee drinker

Truth be told - I had actually come to this quaint cafe many years ago and then conveniently forget about it because 1) there were so many cafes (new + old) to try, and the fact that I seldom come to this area. Not only a conversation with my friend-cum-coffee lover friend that reminded me on this place. He lives nearby and during our small talk on coffee, he told me that Cream is his usual place to grab a cuppa.. and not many cafes have many good quality beans. Coming from someone who drinks at least 2-3 cups of coffee a day, I quickly made plans to come here again.

After sending the young ones to their tuition classes, both of us quickly drove here to enjoy our breakfast + coffee - this area is a heaven on weekends with parking easily available. I like how calm and serene the whole place was as I walked in. Many bags of different coffee beans are displayed at the counter with coffee accessories at another corner show that they mean serious business.

◾Single origin coffee - I tried their Kenya Ruarai that gave me the tasting note of raw puer tea and floral on the palate. What I appreciate is the fact that they serve both cold and hot so that I can taste the difference. ◾the usual milk-based espresso is undoubtedly good.. she took a sip and went hmmm. ◾Cold brew white and black - I chose white this time! ◾Here they focus on bagel as bread of choice for breakfast - I'd tried their grilled cheese bagel as well as mackarel pate bagel and both were tummy-filling and satisfying for me. ◾Regular Kaya butter toast and half boiled eggs are available too but be prepared to pay cafe price (don't expect kopitiam price).

Now that our memory has been re-jogged, we would come here everytime...

We chanced upon this lovely cafe whilst trying to shelter from a thunderstorm and it was the most serendipitous find! We tried two varieties of filter coffee which came served in beautiful porcelain that added to the experience and the barista recommended a mild floral coffee for my taste and a stronger fruitier one for my partner. Mine had beautiful delicate notes and a light caramel syrupy texture, whilst his achieved a wonderful balance in the fruity intensity. The coffee was served in two cups, one hot and one with ice, which was really interesting because there were subtle but definite differences in the flavour of the coffee when tasting it cold compared to hot.

We also had a buttery and flaky croissant to share with the little one, which was very light and delicious.

The atmosphere was very warm and welcoming with helpful baristas who know a lot about their offerings and a beautiful interior that just made us feel...

A cosy and comfortable setting shop. It's a fantastic location to unwind and they play relaxing music. There isn't much food to choose from. There are sweet and savoury fillings for bagels. There are cakes as well. There are numerous options and the coffee is good. There are teas and other beverages available without caffeine. Coffee that has been roasted nearby typically tastes better. Undoubtedly, this is among the best coffees in KL. There is no milk junk like you get at many other places; the coffee is fruity, chocolaty, and topped with a delicious cream. Because filter coffee offers both hot and iced coffee, you can sample a variety of flavours....
