    The cafe is located in swimming pool centre. Great food and relax environment. The pancakes are really great. It's a recommended brunch spot. I will definitely visit again. The con side of this amazing place there is a limited seat and we have to wait and queue.

    Very nice food , and quiet environment. Located in the swimming pool centre , toward the end lots. Love their Farmers pancake , sweet and savoury combination taste surprisingly good . I’ve made my visit twice in a week . Definitely will be my fixed brunch spot in future . You may park at the MBPJ yellow box near to the walkway from LRT , the parking outside the pool is private parking and it cost RM5. Due to SOP, seats may limited and weekend may have crowds. The only cons was felt bit warm in the cafe. Except that, everything is good ! A brunch spot that dine by the pool.

    Type: Asian Cafe Signature: Pancakes and Kaya Toast Located inside the PJ Sports Complex right next to the swimming pool.. this cafe has a nice ambience and is also a great place to chill. Sound level is high especially when it is crowded but the cafe is nice, clean and customer service is really good. One complain is that it was too crowded. The food.... We tried the pancakes with syrup & butter and ice cream (4 🌟) and it was quite decent. We especially liked the unique Kaya Toast (4.5 🌟) which came with a choice of either coconut or non-coconut flavour. Also tried the Caramel Cappucino (4 🌟) which is excellent... Creamy and full Flavoured. Will probably be back here next time. Taste Rating 8/10 Ambience Rating 8/10 Service Rating 9/10 Value Rating 8/10

    I very seldom to leave comment about the food and cafe. But, this cafe worth for me to comment on their food, service and ambiance. My first try in this cafe. It’s a very cozy cafe. The food is really so fantastic and the waiter and waitress service is so good and polite. The price is consider reasonable as usual cafe pricing. Is Worth to try. Their menu is very special compare to others cafe Will come back again if I’m coming to PJ

    First time visiting this cafe as we just finished our hike at Bukit Gasing and wanted breakfast. The cafe is located inside this swimming area and it seems like a nice place to chill after swimming or for parents to wait for their kids. The restaurant is clean, staff are polite and the food selection is great. I had the eggs Benedict and buffalo wings. The hollandaise sauce wasn’t that good but the eggs were perfect. What really turned me off was the Buffalo Wings. It tastes nothing like real buffalo wings and it’s honestly a common occurrence in Malaysian restaurants to have buffalo wings that don’t taste like buffalo wings. Other than that, everything was good.

    A cozy place to be in town with a variety of sweet and savoury pancakes! I enjoyed their farmers pancake the most topped with my choice of scrambled eggs. If you are finding a place to spend your breakfast with your family then this is the best place to be! Children would love the food and the place ❤️! Not forgetting the staffs, they are very helpful and friendly too.

    This cafe is located within the old syabas swimming complex. It's directly on the opposite of the entrance towards the right. A quiet little hidden corner. I liked the ambience and boy was it crowded. The staff were rather helpful though & we were seated quickly. Place is nice & clean plus they do the usual covid sop. Menu is extensive but geared towards breakfast or brunch I guess. Food was decent. They accomdated my request of making plain pancakes with syrup & butter as my gal doesn't like having fruits n nuts all over it. The other items were decent. I had their speciality gula melaka coffee thingy but would have liked if the gula melaka was more noticeable. Otherwise it was an enjoyable outing. Won't mind coming back again. Pls take note getting parking in this area is a pain so better come early

    The place is very nice, next to a public pool. Food wise we did enjoy our meal, we ordered carbonara, sandwich and pancakes, all of them came out well. Recommended place to visit.

    Is a good place to relax and enjoying food.But crowd won't allow u to stay long. Service definitely need more training and food is average. 4 stars for big breakfast but signature hot chocolate definitely won't meet cocoa lover that hv high expectations in aroma n taste. Unfortunately my friend's pancake contaminated with hair and obviously staff is not wearing cap

    A real hidden gem in PJ. Well, if u know pj sports centre then not v hidden :) Ordered the Monte Cristo sandwich which turned out to be pretty good. Nicely toasted bread the way I like it. Avocado toast was awesome. Generous spread of avocado and the poached eggs were on point. Staff was very friendly. Cosy and chilled ambient. Came with my mum actually and she gave it a pass. She usually disapproves of Alot of things. I would def come back here to try the other stuff. Heard the pancakes are good.

    For drinks, I tried their signature espresso which was nice, pleasant and a decent portion, but it’s way overpriced. As for food, had the avocado toast which was pretty generous, slightly bland (lacks an oomph) but still quite yummy nonetheless. Overall, left feeling just about satisfied. 3 stars though, because the price point is not really justified

    I tried this place out of curiosity & was pleasantly surprised! Food quality is excellent, staff were friendly, ambience was relaxing. We tried some of their signature items; the kaya toast was super delicious ✨ not too sweet & bread was soft! Egg Benedict was well done, croissant & chicken ham was a great match for this dish. Matcha latte was nice too. My sis liked the gula melaka Espresso! Definitely will come back again to try their other signature dishes 😌

    Nice place, good food, refreshing drinks. Felt like an oasis. The brownies with ice cream delicious too. Didn’t try their pancakes (yet!). Everything felt like it was made with care, love and pride.

    A great family friendly cafe serving up decent food. Not pretentious at all and highly recommended for families. Their Kaya pancake was pretty good, but their Americano is so so

    What can I say, the ambience, the food 😘. I ordered the breakfast set which was really a lot, that I have to share with my friends. I wish more dressings on the salad and condiment for the protein. But the pancake is amazing. With huge chunk of ice cream on top, worth the try. The gula melaka espresso cube also was good. But of course, as usual, small drink with a hefty price

    This chic little cafe is tuck away at one little corner of a sport complex. Run by a young lady, the ambience is cosy and the decoration is simply but interesting. The staffs are friendly and quite attentive. Food delicious and prices reasonable. Will go back for breakfast again.

    Decided to try this base based on Google reviews. Location is nice, inside the cafe can be a little too cold. Food is just alright, nothing great or noteworthy. Coffee was also average. Overall a decent place for a quick breakfast fix.

    Food was good 👍 Portion and good taste makes the price acceptable. Their bread butter pudding special was amazing, would come for it again. It was quite difficult to converse as the sound proofing don't exist😅

    I had eggs benedict & strawberry pancakes here. Absolutely love the food. The cafe is a cozy setup with plenty of natural lighting facing the swimming pool. The staffs here are helpful & friendly. Would like to visit here again.

    Food taste was really good. Lunch set menu (smoked duck rice, ice lemon tea, brownie with ice cream) was a good value. And to end it with the short stack pancake was an indulgence for lunch.

    The atmosphere is good. A bit noisy during lunchtime but you know I know La, lunchtime Ma. The light through the windows made the shop cosy. Food is above average, like the cinnamon roll and fried zucchini.

    A really nice place to go with friends or your loved one. Desserts are good here. Homemade chicken cruffin was alright. The sweet potato fries that came with it were good. It's a pretty filling meal. Their pesto pasta is alright too. Their Kaya toast is good, as well as the pancake stacks like the banana and the berry ones. Overall, it's a nice place hidden within PJ palms, the staff are friendly, and there's good dessert.

  • 4/5 Nizzam B. 4 months ago on Google
    The food is quite fantastic. The portions are big, and the taste is pretty superb. For me, it's worth the price. The coffees are good enough for me too, although probably a teeny-tiny small. I guess the downside of the place is that it's very private and narrow. Therefore, there's not much seating available. So don't go there with your family, unless it's less than 5 people. And since it's pretty cramped, the place is quite loud. Like mamak restaurant loud. The place doesn't have good acoustics. I can barely hear my friends talking. That's the obvious thing that the place should improve upon. But other than that, a pretty good place to have a sip of coffee or something to bite. Just don't expect to talk and chat all that much there.

    A charming, brightly lit place to enjoy some good fluffy pancakes with fresh fruit and sweet toppings. Perfect to stop by when you wanna catch a light brunch or a teatime snack, post-swim or not (there's a swimming pool next to the cafe) or to enjoy a conversation with friends. We had the Jam and Kaya Signature Pancakes - a fabulous twist of generous tangy sweet strawberries with creamy kaya in between and a scoop of vanilla ice cream as well as the Salted Caramel Crunch Pancakes - topped with nuts and caramel sauce ?

    A cute cafe by the poolside that served all day breakfast for lunch. The selection of food is pretty amazing. I especially love their Tomato Balsamic Toast, zucchini fries and their signature pancake.

    I come here weekly because my son has his swimming class at PJ Palms (same place as the cafe). Fantastic menu for brunch and tea time, but cant say the same for lunch.

  • 5/5 Z �. 1 year ago on Google
    Good service, good ambience and good food. The big breakfast is a must. The hash brown is crispy and not oily. Sautéed mushrooms is fragrant and don’t have some weird smell like other big breakfasts I had. The tomato toast is good too. The bread is very toasted and fragrant and the tomato is not that sour and is a bit sweet and tangy. The zucchini fries on the sides are so delicious. The pancake is a must try here. It has kaya in between the stacks making it taste like Pandan. It wasn’t too sweet and has a lot of Pandan taste. Good food will return

  • 5/5 Hana H. 3 years ago on Google
    I love the shibuya honey toast!! Until now I imagining the delicious taste ?? when I came here, there were many Chinese but it's okay, nothing to be worried. The waiter is friendly. The cafe is beautiful but the decorations kinda not enough. Overall I love it!

  • 5/5 Afkar M. 3 years ago on Google
    Situated in PJ Palm Sport centre vicinity, this small cafe really serves great variatiness, mostly English breakfast. Limited lunch menu, only pastas. Quite nice food and coffee.

  • 4/5 Pui Cheng L. 10 months ago on Google
    The cafe is especially Crowded on weekend mornings since it is located near the swimming pool and sports facility. The cafe 's outlook definitely stands out in that area. My personal fav out of the 3 items I tried - coconut kaya pancake paired with this refreshing orange ice cream. The Kaya was different. The homemade chicken patty croffin was paired with sweet potato fries. The party is nice but the whole thing was a little mess to eat and not great for sharing. The big breakfast was rather mediocre. The sausage was the notable item. Decent portion.

  • 3/5 Loong S. 3 years ago on Google
    rm8 for coconut jam and toast is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 5/5 Rozimah I. 10 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Shelly G. 3 years ago on Google
    We tried the signature breakfast dish - pancake egg +ham. Tasty and nicely presented. I like the pancake texture. For the spicy prawn aglio spaghetti, portion and the taste is ok. Price a bit higher. Perhaps, that is the standard of hipster cafe.

  • 5/5 Muhammad S. 3 years ago on Google
    Love to eat here. Although I hope the portion would be a lilttle bigger. Their Jam & Kaya toast is a must try. Then their pasta is okay.

  • 4/5 Linny W. 3 years ago on Google
    Love their breakfast menu. Allocated in a sport club which give a different experience of cafe ambience.

  • 5/5 Andrea R. 4 years ago on Google
    Went here today to try their pancake. Like reviewers said, it’s totally awesome! The place quite hard to find since it’s inside Swimming Club, but make a circle and you will find it. The staff were really good and polite too. Just the parking quite hard to find, public parking is limited but there were parkings with fee too. On the weekends quite crowded so, please expect some wait. The best place to chill!

  • 5/5 Steven 4 years ago on Google
    Good cafe with nice food and coffee. Place is small, need to share tables at times. Their signature pancake was yummy, the harsh brown one of the best I have tasted

  • 4/5 Chitra V. 4 years ago on Google
    Good variety of breakfast, standard PJ price. The cafe has a Cameron Highland cottage feel. Service was warm and good. Located inside a Public Swimming Club, so bit of a find. Local council parking is limited but can park at the swimming club parking which is chargeable. If you a brunch or big breakfast craze, give this place a try.

    You will not see this cafe from the main roads. You'll have to walk in abit to see it. A pleasant little cafe with a swimming pool on one side, and a littls,e patch of greenery on another. Signature Kaya Jam Pancake - Fantastically fluffy pancakes with delicious mix of strawberries, blueberries, and ice-cream on the side. Their Kaya butter thick toast was very nice as well.

  • 5/5 Mae N. 4 years ago on Google
    Cosy ambience, clean and tidy. Is a good place to spend sometime for weekend brunch. coffee is good but spaghetti is not my favorite type, too firm for my favorite. Food serving and presentation is appetising.

  • 5/5 Jazli A. 4 years ago on Google
    Came here for tea today and I want to come again. Ordered the kaya on thick toast and pancakes with caramalised bananas, and both were really, really good. The thick toast wasn't just plain white bread, but maybe brioche? It was really nice and had an amazing smell on its own. The kaya was special too. Creamy, not too sweet, delicious. It even comes with a side of coconut milk if you want. The pancakes were light and fluffy, bananas were nicely caramalised, and the maple syrup was really good too. The pricing here is actually quite fair. Some other places might charge close to RM20 for a plate of pancakes, but the pancakes and bananas were just RM15. The cafe accepts Maybank QR Pay btw. The interior is spacious and the cafe itself is actually located inside the PJ Palms Sport Centre. Once you walk into the centre you'll see the pool and the cafe is at the far right corner of the pool. As for parking there's street parking outside which you'll need to pay for (you can use the Touch n' Go app) and valet parking which is more expensive.

    I went there for the first time on my birthday with my friend. The cafe is located inside a sports centre with a huge swimming pool outside the cafe. We ordered their Salted Caramel Crunch pancake and it was delicious. The fluffy pancakes, the sweet caramel sauce and the nuts added crunch to it. We had the omelette with a side of chicken ham - it comes with some veggies, cherry tomatoes and mushrooms. It was okay. The caramel latte was divine. I like the art design they made on top of the latte. The orange juice was nice but a little too sour for us. We also got a scone for takeaway - it comes with a small container filled with sweet strawberry jam and a side of whipped cream. The cafe services was welcoming. I would definitely come here again.

    Place is extremely clean... They practice social distancing and all the sop are done in order went there on a weekday..so it was not crowded. Food is reasonable and tasty...
