I recently had the pleasure of visiting Chef Kecik Cafe for their pastries. Situated a bit far from my home in Putrajaya, this little gem is nestled in a charming neighbourhood close to where my partner lives in Semenyih. He had been raving about this cafe for some time, so last weekend he decided to treat my sweet tooth by driving us there. The cafe is often bustling, but fortunately, we didn’t have to wait long for a table—after a brief 20-minute wait, a friendly waitress seated us on the second floor.
The ordering process was simple. The waitress gave us a piece of paper with a QR code for the menu, and we placed our order for coffee and pastries. While we waited, I took in the atmosphere. The cafe felt cosy, with the smell of coffee brewing and the gentle sound of people chatting. It was a comfortable spot, perfect for relaxing.
One thing that stood out to me was the personal touch throughout the cafe. The walls were adorned with the chef’s memories and photos, which added character to the otherwise simple interior. As I looked around, I noticed the staff—skilled and efficient, keeping the busy cafe running smoothly.
With such consistently high-quality food and service, it’s easy to see why the cafe is always bustling with customers. Learning that the cafe is owned by a Malay genuinely amazed me. It even sparked a small dream within me to one day own a cafe like this, despite not being a coffee enthusiast myself. 🤭
For the price, I find it affordable—not too expensive but not cheap either. As someone who lives in Putrajaya, where the cost of living is high, I found the prices reasonable, especially for a cafe with such a high reputation.
Would I come to this cafe again? Absolutely!
I didn’t get a chance to try their cheesecake yet since I was in the mood for their croissant. I had their almond cream-filled croissant, and I was completely blown away. It was hands down one of the best I’ve ever tasted! If you’re curious to learn more about the cafe, you can visit their website here: Chef Kecik Cafe.
Till then. X, Hani. ❤️
