Baristar Coffee & Tea Express

Wedged into half a shoplot in Damansara Uptown is this little take-away coffee bar that serves arguably the cheapest coffee in PJ. Using their own house blend of beans from India, Papua New Guinea and Brazil, Baristar serves drinks with prices that start at an affordable RM5.

For its size, Baristar has an extensive menu. On top of your usual espresso (RM5) and long black (RM5), cappuccino, flat white, hot chocolate and chai, taro or matcha latte (RM7 each), there are also Korean teas at RM8 and flavoured coffees like hazelnut latte and salted caramel coffee for RM9. More interestingly, you’ll also find creative coffee drinks here, such as the Black Tonic (espresso on ice with tonic water; RM10), Coffee Cubes (creamy milk over frozen coffee ice cubes; RM10), and iced latte with gula melaka agar (RM10). Selected drinks come with an upsize option for an additional RM2.

While Baristar is essentially a take-away coffee bar, there are three small counter seats indoors. If you’re feeling peckish, choose from a small selection of cakes and pastries.
