The cafe has a tantalising selection of brunch meals including the huge Starman Breakfast (RM27.90), a platter that lets you indulge in flaky stuffed croissant or tangy sourdough toast with creamy scrambled eggs.
There’s also the Tamago Sando Toast (RM13.90) that’ll fill you up with its velvety gold pillow of eggs, crowned with soft shibuya toast slices to create an enticing cross section.

The Starman Special (RM15) is a cup of iced black with a lush blanket of soft cream to cut through the bitterness with some sweetness, while Rose Latte (RM14) and Havana Mocha (RM16) are perfect for caffeine lovers who prefer a hint of extra flavour in their coffee.

3. Souffle – fluffy souffle pancakes
Image credit: @redcameraguy via Instagram
Souffle is one of Puchong’s busiest cafes and is also the first name most would mention when getting recommendations for the best Japanese-style pancakes. Each plate of the dessert comes with a stack of 3 pancakes that look just like giant toasted marshmallows – you can even spot them jiggling as the server carries it over to your table.
Image adapted from: @fanny_ho3021 via Instagram, @souffledessertcafe via Instagram
Besides the Strawberry Souffle Pancake (RM20), those who like fruity flavours have plenty of options to choose from like Caramel Banana Souffle Pancake (RM18) and Mango Souffle Pancake (RM19). Otherwise, you can always go for the Matcha Red Bean Souffle Pancake (RM19) that comes with a side of matcha cream and sweet red beans.

If you prefer having waffles (from RM15) over pancakes on the breakfast table, they have those too. Theirs’ are generously thicker for a fluffier bite, so you’ll be plenty stuffed even with just 2 pieces. The square pockets are also deeper to hold in more maple syrup – perfect for those of us who like it extra sweet.
The textured teal wall and dried flowers on every table gives the place an elegant, semi-rustic feel

Address: CS-1F-7, 1st Floor, Kompleks Kenari, Jalan Kenari 19a, Bandar Puchong Jaya, Selangor

4. Unicorn25 – Dutch baby pancakes and unicorn desserts
Dutch Baby Pancake (from RM18)
Image credit: @kellychong via Instagram
Dutch Baby Pancakes (from RM18) could be the start of a new food trend in Malaysia. You may be expecting a regular plate of pancakes when you order this, but you’ll be stunned when you see your “pancakes” served to you in a skillet. If you’re intrigued by this foreign treat, head down to Unicorn25 as they’re one of the few places that offer dutch baby pancakes.
It’s made by pouring the batter into a hot skillet before it’s placed into an oven for a couple of minutes. While a souffle gradually deflates after it’s been served, these pancakes collapse the second it’s taken out of the oven – what’s left behind is a poofy centre with a crepe-like texture and crispy, golden edges.

With “unicorn” in their name, you can expect to find some adorable unicorn-themed desserts like their mini cakes. Each one comes with a gradient finish and is piped with beautiful swirls around before topped with a golden horn.

Before you indulge in these desserts, the cafe also has plenty of hot food for you to fill up on first. Their Super Big Breakfast (RM25) comes with 3 waffles, sauteed mushrooms, grilled tomato, ham, and sausages. For lighter eats, opt for Seafood Aglio Olio (RM15).

With plenty of natural light and ample personal space, this is the kind of cafe you can comfortably spend your mornings in without worrying about being imposed on.
Little embellishments like the framed photos, patterned tiles, and vintage bike are homey additions to the decor

They have a ton of dishes for you to enjoy, ranging from pastas and pizzas to Chinese baos.
Image credit: @chowsc86 via Instagram
Ground Eatery is one of those cafes you wouldn’t expect to find in this part of town, where just a couple years ago, you’d only have seen street food lining each street. They’ve kept the decor simple by just sprucing the place up with some plants to contrast the industrial grey floors and countertops.

9. Buranchi – authentic Japanese meal of rice in hot tea
Image credit: @pennysays_ via Instagram
It’s hard to find a meal like this even in the city centre, where most Japanese places only serve the typical sushi or bento boxes. Buranchi in Bandar Puteri has Chazuke (from RM12) on their menu, which is a set meal that comes with a pot of tea, grilled saba fish, and side dishes. You’re meant to eat this dish by pouring the tea into your bowl of rice a la thunder tea rice style.

10. Sipping Corner – sweet cakes at a green sanctuary
They have a different selection of cakes each day, so there’s always something new to try with each visit
Image credit: @susu_eats via Instagram
Sipping Corner is one of the newest additions to the list of hidden cafes in the city, and they could possibly be the most misleading one yet. The storefront is crowded with countless potted plants that are so densely packed together that it looks like a mini forest. But unless you are looking to start a succulent collection, you probably wouldn’t be tempted to make your way inside.
Image adapted from: @sippingcorner via Instagram
The same shoplot actually houses a quaint coffee shop at the back that serves toothsome cakes and tarts. When you peek into their display counter, you’ll find a unique selection of desserts. The list includes Avocado and Lime Tart (RM16), Earl Grey Grapefruit Cake (RM14), and Blueberry Frangipane Pie (RM15).
You’ll find people from all over Selangor as well as local Puchong folk here during the weekends, just for their artisanal beverages and cakes.

Coffee fans will have a blast picking what to order with their impressive selection of hand-brewed coffees. The Elida Green Tip Geisha (RM26) stands out the most and not only because of its name, but also the flavour profiles listed: lychee, bergamot, and jasmine. If these fancier picks aren’t for you, stick to a regular cup of Espresso for only RM7.

[Closed] Mancave Cafe & Collectibles – action figures on display
Image credit: @woonweelin via Instagram
It’s only been months since Avengers: Endgame came out in cinemas, and while it may have been the last time we get to see the entire team on the big screen, we can still spazz over our favourite heroes at Mancave.
The cafe was started by a small group of friends who had amassed a huge collection of superhero figurines, so instead of keeping them in their homes, they decided to open a cafe where their figurines would be put on display for diners to admire.
Image adapted from: @mancavecafecollectibles via Instagram
Tour around the mini gallery as you wait for your food to arrive. Some of them are even placed right in front of the long dining counter, so you’ll be able to admire even the tiniest details of each figurine as you tuck into your food.
You’ll see plenty of Western fare when you’re flipping the menu with options ranging from chicken chops to pastas and pizzas. However, you’ll come across some fusion finds like Creamy Tom Yam Prawn Pasta (RM14.90). Prices are also considerably affordable as you can get a whole Hawaiian Pizza for just RM13.90.
