What recent reviews say
Staff take time explaining each drink and nail the temperature, making Seoul Espresso a solid pick for specialty coffee drinkers who want something smoother than bitter. The space is minimalist and cramped, but the signature Seoul Americano, lattes, and pastries like kouign-amann and tiramisu draw regulars back; expect to go for takeaway or a quick session if you want a seat.

- friendly and attentive staff who explain drinks and remake orders
- well-executed pastries and desserts

Common questions
- Can I dine in or is it takeaway only?
- The cafe has very limited seating, so takeaway is the norm. Quick yumcha sessions are possible but space is tight.
- What's the signature drink to order?
- Seoul Americano is the signature, served with a cream layer on top and a sweeter taste than a standard Americano. Seoul Latte is also popular.

Hartton Kitchen - Pj Uptown
4.3(269)✓ Verified
Hartton Kitchen draws steady praise for large portions, fresh ingredients, and a bright, Instagram-worthy setting ideal for brunch or casual catch-ups. Breakfast sets and egg toast are standouts. The space feels welcoming and unhurried, though a few note drinks cost extra and air conditioning could be stronger. Pricing sits reasonable for portions and quality; water costs RM1.20 per glass. Parking nearby at Starling Mall or the multi-storey. Vegan options available. Staff friendliness varies slightly by visit, but the overall draw is the food quality and calm atmosphere.
