What recent reviews say

Baristar earns loyal repeat customers for its well-executed specialty coffees and affordable daily options, especially among Damansara Uptown office workers. However, inconsistent drink quality, cold coffee temperatures, matcha preparation failures, and occasional staff defensiveness undercut the experience and frustrate some patrons.

Yin's Sourdough Bakery & Cafe serves quality sourdough, cakes, and pasta with strong coffee, earning praise for fresh ingredients and good latte art. However, reviews reveal inconsistent service (some staff dismissive), serious hygiene concerns in restrooms, long waits on orders, steep pricing, and a tired interior that discourages lingering despite being marketed as a study-friendly space.

4.2(388)✓ Verified

Rekindle earns strong praise for fresh, inventive cakes (many alcohol-infused) and solid coffee in a calm setting open late. Quality varies enough to disappoint occasionally, and the Damansara Uptown corner spot near LDP is hard to reach. Staff friendliness is hit-or-miss, though mostly positive. Worth the visit for cake lovers seeking late-night options.
