Cafes are high in demand among Millennials and Gen Z. People love to have a quick sip in between office hours, study sessions and even for evening hangouts.
Cafes are the best place to get together with friends or colleagues. Often, many potential business meetings are also arranged at cafes.
And if you are in the PJ area, you must have at least one Petaling Jaya Cafe as your go-to place.
The cafes in PJ have their own enigmatic rhythm. They provide various food and beverage options for customers of different walks of life. I am a coffee-lover, so visiting cafes is my favourite recreation.
So, if you want to do something fun over the weekend, check out at least one Petaling Jaya Cafe from our list. I am sure you will love the ambience and the delicious beverage they have to offer.
Antipodean
Antipodean offers some of the best beverages that make Petaling Jaya Cafe popular. Their ambience is very different too. They have a huge walkway in the middle, separating the counter and seating arrangement.
It is a fantastic idea as passers-by can peak into their huge menus. Moreover, they not only serve brunch, lunch and dinner but breakfast as well.
So, make sure to reach there before 11 in the morning to enjoy their hearty breakfast. You can even hang out the whole day in this outdoor cafe in PJ to enjoy their family-size menu.
