01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

The Cat Who Bakes is a charming café, bakery, and breakfast haven tucked away in the vibrant neighborhood of Damansara Damai, Petaling Jaya. This delightful spot serves up a carefully curated selection of freshly baked treats and comforting breakfast fare that truly celebrates playful yet refined flavors.

Step inside and you’ll immediately notice the cozy and warm atmosphere that has drawn loyal patrons back time and time again. The space strikes a perfect balance—clean and comfortable without feeling cramped, making it an ideal sanctuary for a quiet morning coffee or a relaxing weekend brunch.

The culinary offerings here are a testament to thoughtful craftsmanship. Among their standout dishes, the mushroom chicken pie receives consistent praise for its delicate seasoning and wonderfully flaky base that never feels heavy or overwhelming. The waffles are a revelation—thick, with a crisp surface giving way to a soft, tender interior, delivering that satisfying contrast in every bite. Bagel lovers will appreciate the innovative creations like the dendeng bagel and smoked salmon bagel, both fluffy yet substantial, paired expertly with rich cream cheese. For those seeking a little sweet indulgence, the banoffee tart is a showstopper, boasting a fresh banana custard filling that bursts forth when cut, paired with lightly sweetened whipped cream that elevates the dessert without overpowering it.

Beverage-wise, The Cat Who Bakes doesn’t disappoint. Their lattes are robust and creamy, with unique offerings such as the Meow Cold Latte — an enchanting mix of ice cream and caramel, subtly sweet but utterly satisfying, perfect for a sunny afternoon treat.

What truly makes this café special is its customer-centered approach. Attentive staff ensure each visit feels personalized and welcoming, from accommodating special syrup requests in coffee to maintaining a pristine and inviting environment. Although occasionally the seating may feel limited during peak hours, the intimate scale adds to the relaxed and homely vibe.

Additionally, weekend visitors are in for a treat with the unexpectedly delicious nasi lemak, which adds a local twist that surprises even the most seasoned foodies in the area.

Overall, The Cat Who Bakes is a hidden gem that continuously impresses with its delicious, thoughtfully prepared menu combined with a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Whether you’re a devoted breakfast enthusiast, a casual coffee lover, or someone hunting for a sweet escape, this spot promises moments of genuine culinary joy and warmth.

I'm surprised to find such nice place here. However , there's not many selections. The mushroom chicken pie is recommended. Not salty and the base is nice. Waffle is soft and crispy at the surface with nice taste. Bagel is ok. Tried meow cold latte. Basically it's with ice-cream with some caramel. Not too sweet with nice taste.

Been visiting here numerous times and it never disappoints. Cozy atmosphere, clean and comfortable space, with fresh and tasty bakes that aren’t overly sweet. Had the chance to try their nasi lemak as well, which is only sold on weekends — surprisingly good!! Overall, a great spot to relax and enjoy good desserts and coffee.

Nice cafe & foods worth to try out this place. Waffles are thick & crispy, nice balance of taste for beef lasagna if im not mistaken. & ordered ice latte, but i asked for extra syrup (cz i like it sweet) service was good, the staffs were attentive, just maybe the space isnt quite big or available seats to accommodate many people at a time. & maybe if can stretch time for business hours to longer PM might be good

Reviewing because we think this place deserves more recognition. Been eyeing this cafe since we move to this condo but it’s closed for a few months for renovation. Finally got the chance to try em today and it blown our minds and tastebuds away! Best bagels and kek batik indulgence that we’ve ever had. The dendeng bagel and smoke salmon bagel are perfection, never knew that bagel could be as fluffy as it is chewy. Dendeng is very tasty as well. You can also taste the premium ingredients they use in the kek batik indulgence, not too sweet with perfect texture. Looking forward to try more menus and desserts, plus points because its soo near to our place!

Nice cosy cafe with warm ambience. Very clean and spacious. Wow.. the latte coffee was robust! Jalapeno bagel with cream cheese is good. Must try. Banoffee tart is pretty and the fresh whipped cream is not sweet. Banana filling is fresh and when the tart is opened, the custard filling flows out.

The owners are super nice and friendly as well as the staffs! The place is super beautiful and cosy, the food is good and the drink is well made. Spanish Latte was not bad at all, their Grilled Cheese sandwich was delicious too (i ordered Tuna Melt sekali tapi tak sempat nak try dah kenyang ;--;) Loving the whole environment here Saya doakan agar owners and staffs dipermudahkan urusan sentiasa and dimurahkan lagi rezeki untuk spread their wings bukak banyak branch lagi!! amin aminn

Absolutely loved my experience at The Cat Who Bake! I ordered their best coffee and matcha, and both were spot on. The desserts are a must try to. The taste is amazing and pairs perfectly with the drinks. The atmosphere is so calm and peaceful, making it the perfect spot to hang out or have a gathering with family
