My favourite places to hangout with friends.

The term “Hipster Cafés” implies trendy cafés which are deemed favorite hangout spots for youngsters usually the Millennials, expecially the Generation Y. From a standpoint, cafés largely serve as centres of social interaction, providing a place for people to gather, talk and chit-chat. However, today the bar to attract attention has been raised manifold.While good atmosphere of a café has become a pre-requisite, customers also expect a high level of creativity in the whole concept as well as quality in the food and drinks served. Though being unique is a factor, balancing it with simplicity is crucial too.

 Cat in the Box

Amber Wong and Muzhir Yusuf are coffee lovers who are passionate about good coffee.  They started off Cat in The Box by providing mobile coffee services, coupled with organisations and gradually built its brand through appearance in events. And now, the “little cat” has moved from a “mobile box” to a physical café, to continue its mission to serve good food and coffees to its customers.

The café was recently relocated to Empire Damansara, on the first floor, right above Gravy Factory. It’s drenched in natural sunlight, bigger, and airier – perfect for photography when the calming view of Damansara Perdana’s suburban foliage through the metres-high windows is at its most impressive. It’s definitely a cozy and warm place to throw a small group gathering with friends. Every weekend at least once a month this place is the most favourite place we love to hangout. We will spend our time almost half a day here and end up going back home late in the night.   

Everytime i came here we must try the Coffee – brewed from the exclusively East Timor beans, farmed using traditionally organic methods, gives you a smooth, nutty, with mild acidity texture. If you like cold coffee, East Timor Cold Brew is a must-try – East Timor beans, cold-brewed for over 24 hours, and served as a latte or Americano. Rich, bold, and smooth. AWESOME!

They even have very talented coffee artists who can make 3D coffee arts that will leave you impressed. Besides coffee beverages, Cat In The Box also offers visitors fruity teas, including lemon and ginger, chamomile and superfruit. As for light food, you may not want to miss out the #TheRoyCohn Sandwich, created specially for the theatre production “Angels in America” by theatrethreesixty.
