Epique Coffee

Nice coffee with cozy environment. Try their Milo café latte and Horlicks latte. Both have good aroma and smooth to drink! The service is good but lack of choice for dessert. :)

I came to Epique Coffee once during my induction to an awesome online job, it was also the first time being able to meet with my recruiter to brief on my job scope and tasks. The first thing I noticed about this café is that it has a mezzanine floor which houses some comfy sofas and a few tables, that is probably something I find interesting with this café. Other than that, their interior design is pretty much similar to other hipster cafes.
When I browsed thru their menu, I noticed that the owner has creatively introduced a few local favourite beverages into something unique such as their Horlicks Latte. However, I was not that adventurous on that day and decided to play it safe by ordering something more familiar, I ended up with a cup of latte. Their coffee is generally quite alright not too strong in taste. I will definitely visit them again if I happen to be around Empire Damansara.

I admit to being someone who is super picky when it comes to coffee. Amidst the many mediocre and generic coffee places around Empire Damansara, Epique is one of only two places in the area that I consider serves excellent coffee. I am a big fan of their ice latte. It is made from a bitter and strong brew, with just enough milk. Some coffee places make their latte too milky for my liking.
Epique is not a very big establishment, nor are they one of those places that thrive on a fancy ambience. They just serve good coffee and snacks. In fact, I love their lasagne and coconut loaf. They also happen to be one of the places in Empire Damansara with stable Wi-​Fi connection. It is safe to say that Epique is a café with more substance than style. This is definitely the place to go if you need to grab a cup of good coffee to make your day.

It was a good meet up with the Unilocalers for the first time at Epique Coffee, that I decided to drop by again.
I had a cup of their green tea latte, and it was superb. Better than the one from Starbucks. Cheaper too! I’d say the size was rather small but it is okay for the price that I pay.
I really like the ambience at Epique and I like sitting on the upper floor. The music played in the café suits my liking. I’d picture myself coming to Epique more often, to chill and also to work.

I’m not exactly a big fan of coffee but I do like a nice café with sweet cakes and drinks. I went to this café for an induction and even though it seems a bit small, it is not crowded. The atmosphere is just nice and pleasant. This café is located at Empire Damansara and I would definitely recommend people to go here because of the variety of cafés and restaurants.
Anyways, back to the topic, Epique Coffee is one of the nicest coffee shops I have ever been to. The workers are very friendly and the service is great. I had the cashier recommend me something to eat and the chicken quiche was definitely tasty. I was not disappointed.
I’m not much of a coffee junkie but I decided to order their caramel latte and honestly speaking, it’s not all that bad; a bit bitter but not bad at all. My time here in this café was pleasant and nice. I also love the décor of the place. Two thumbs up from me. I would totally recommend this place!

I am not a coffee junkie so I wouldn’t know how to judge a coffee so well. However my flat white was of my liking, aromatic and rich and taste great even without added sugar. The barista was really kind in explaining about the drinks they offer and match it with the flavour you prefer and that’s a thumbs up in hospitality.
It’s located in Empire Damansara and the great thing about it is that it has very little crowd. It has a deck for private gatherings and below it the seating are wooden and comfy wooden with a minimalistic designed space for you to work and also have some sweet solitude time with your cup of warm coffee.
On a hot sunny afternoon when you need some quiet comfy place to chill out, this would be the place to go.

Looking for a relaxed café with specialty coffee? This is it. Must try beverages: Milo Caffe Latte, Horlicks Latte and Milo Affogato. Cause it’s simply one of a kind.
The café is decorated with a minimalistic approach and gives off a relaxed vibe. It’s definitely a place to catch up with friends over a good cup of coffee.
They also have a wide range of unique cakes and pastries to compliment the coffee. My favourite is gula melaka banana cake and the cendol cake.
The service here is outstanding. Service with a smile, always.
Just look for Bernice and she will sort you out with a good cup of caffeine to brighten your day.

Been here for indction meeting with my company, this café is not big, nor even famous I guess because there is not much people there, but I can say this is a place for you to chill, relax and spend time with your closest people if you want somewhere quiet, I would love to recommend you their cake! the candoi cake! it taste so good and it is best when you eat it cool, so it’s like a pudding layer cakes but it’s like what we usually eat, the Pandan Layer cake but this is so much better! rate 8 out of 10 for this cake, will definately come back for this cake!

Épiqué Coffee is where I started this job, and where I discovered that a good cup of iced latte does not need to be fancy; it just needs to taste good.
With its location etched near Boat Noodle in Empire Damansara, it is one of the better cafes around town. What makes it so special is that it offers homemade pastries, a notion that some cafes do not offer, and thus sets them apart. With their barista being professional and the service being more than decent, it seems that this is the place to be if you ever want a cup of coffee.
The only drawback is the speed in which he barista works. It might take a long time for the barista to get your cup of coffee done, and is perhaps a little too long for my own taste. If you are willing to wait for a good cup of coffee, by all means do stay there, for it is the best place to go to get one when you are near the area.

Where: Epique Coffee, The Heritage Lane, Empire Damansara, Damansara Perdana, 47 820 Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia»
That’s what it say from my email. And believe me I am so thrilled and excited that time because I will finally met dear Lennise who happen to be my boss for this Unilocal.:)
Once I received this address, I ask almost every friend that I know who lived in KL or near because I am surely not familiar with the area since I’m only living in Seremban. Somehow, I managed to get there without any harm done! Yay. And of course accompany by my dearly sister who get annoyed with me all the way here. Duh~
By the way, by distances I can’t make an actual talk about it since I’ve practically traveled from Seremban to Damansara by the public transport which I enjoy the most. But when we arrived there, my sister and I were stunned until we actually forgot to snap any picture due to our mixed emotion and then when we departed home I feel silly because Unilocaling will need a lot of pictures taken and then I just forgot to take one. But the Empire Damansara itself is really a captivating buiding.
(It’s been nice to be with the other Unilocalers who is really friendly and nice and great and so many good things about them: D)
Ohh about the café, once I enter the Epique, I’ve been greeted by a kind barista and I wonder idly what should I ordered here but then he assisted me in getting an order based on what I liked and he also promoted his best dish on that day named the Chicken Pie. It’s great place for hang out because it is so quite and peaceful. The taste of the coffee is great and lovely. I liked it so much!
Thank you Lennise for your treat and it’s lovely to finally meet you. Hope we see each other more.

I’ve heard a lot about this café from my café hopper friends, but never really try them out myself because though I’m working in TTDI and likes going to 1Utama shopping mall, I hardly go to that part of town. Only been to Empire Damansara once for the famous boat noodles and that’s it.
Until one day, my other half have a meeting with his colleague set up here in Epique café and I happen to be not working that day. What a good reason to try out a new café…
So we went there and he go his meeting, I enjoy my coffee and cake. The café was quite cozy with interesting Malaysianized menu where you can see drinks like Horlicks Latte and Milo Affogato.
But I’m not that adventures and I stick with the usual café latte and a piece in of Crunchy Nutella. Though I’ve heard a lot of great thing about their coffee, I wasn’t really into their coffee but I like their cake!
Will be back for more!

Very nice place to hang out with your friends. They serve unique cakes which i couldn’t anywhere else. The other day i tried the cendol cake and gula melaka cakes. The taste is not too sweet which is perfect for those health concious!

Went here for a meeting. This coffee shop has a pleasant environment. Cool places to hang out Soft music fills the shop absolutely will give you peace and help you to thinks properly (i mean, to get idea for your works. Haha)
Ok, about the drinks. I ordered iced white chocolate mocha. i asked if ice-​blended available for that menu (indecisive people’s problem). They said «No, but we can make it if you want it» What else to say, great services in fulfilling customer’s demand. I love when i received this kind of services, they made me feel appreciated. Kind and fast services.
About the taste, i am not going to say much. It’s good, but. why does white choc still felt bitter like coffee. i was expecting it to be sweet. Or maybe i just don’t understand how white choc and mocha play with the taste. I am not good in drinking caffeine. Haha

I am beginning to fall in love with Empire Damansara. I can associate this place so much with Perth, Australia… for it being so indie, hippie and Perth-​ish. Haha.
So, I decided to check out one of their cafes and found Epique. As I entered into the café, i was surprised by how ordinarily plain the set up is and the limited chairs and tables. But I guess it is okay because I personally do not like over-​crowded cafes.
I sat upstairs where the cosier corner is and to my amaze, the place could fit easily 20 people or so. As for the coffee and food, I tried the White Chocolate coffee and Coconut cake.
I thought the coffee was just so-​so, I think white choc is best to be eaten as it is. :) The cake however was tasty. Thumbs up for that.
Overall, the environment was alright but the sound of the coffee machine while it is operating really annoys me. This isn’t an ideal place to do your work but for a social networking session, maybe yeah.
Will I visit this place again? Sure, why not! Something tells me I should try the other types of coffee they serve and I do not think the cakes would disappoint me.

The first time i came to Empire i noticed this café. The name itself intrigued me. ‘Epique’; french for epic. But i never actually got a chance to check it out until recently. And i must say, at first glance, it’s the perfect place to do work. Unlike most cafes, the music they play here are chilled and even nostalgic at times. Background music is important to me when i do work, and this place has a pretty chilled selection.
I managed to have a taste of their Café Latte, a relatively common beverage at cafes. I mean if you mess that up then i would imagine the others wouldn’t be that great. However, just from the presentation, clearly the barista is well trained. And it was great too! not too sweet, not too bitter. Just the way i like it.
The deco of this café is something i enjoy really much. You’ve got a loft upstair that gives you a top view of the café. You’ve got comfy sofas for your procrastinating needs. And of course, you have the choice of their wonderful desert. I heard great things about their cakes here. Still kicking myself that i didn’t try any! But i’m sure its Hella Good! (gwen stefani reference)
Needless to say, i’m heading back here to indulge in their cakes, coffee and atmosphere. Perfect setting for me to spend hours on my laptop, whilst consuming dangerous amount of caffeine.

I thought this place was pretty cozy in terms of their ambience. It’s perfect for you, your laptop and your coffee! As soon as you enter you will see an upper level with a staircase going up right at the end of the room that has a little seating area below it. That’s my favorite spot.
The barista’s are so friendly that they take their time to share with you about their menu specialty. I had a bite of the chicken pie that is super yummy but It could have been better, however the cinnamon and apple tea stole my heart!
They have a variety of cakes to go together with their coffe varieties you can simply pick and choose! I absolutely enjoyed their chocolate cake and hot chocolate which I took out and extended my Epique coffee experience at my friend’s house.
For the smokers, you can have your Epique experience outside of the café and people watch while you’re at it. They have quite a number of unique stores and café’s all around the premise. I can assure that you won’t feel out of place.

Tuesday to Friday: 12.00pm to 10.00pm

For some people, this café is known for its best coffee and cakes, but for me the best thing I treasure here is the friendliness of the staff.
The last time I came here, there were two women baristas. They were so friendly in suggesting what’s best for my friend and I (since we weren’t really a coffee lover), and then when my friend said whether they have an ice blended or not, the barista replied that they don’t have it but she can make it for my friend.
I stood there and smiled, impressed by such a lovely manners. I would definitely come here again not only because of the chocolate drink and the cakes is good, but also because of the lovely service gave by the two barista. They made my day!

Such a cosy coffee place!
So calm and peaceful, you can run away from the crowd and enjoy a delicious cup of coffee here. The interior is beautiful, they have 2 floors and the seating is inside. If you’re coming with a big group of people I would recommend to book their second floor, it’s more secluded.
What I liked about this café is that they actually set their temperature perfectly, which is definitely something rare in Kuala Lumpur. You don’t have to worry how you’re dressed, you will feel comfortable here. You wont be sweating or cold. :)
Try their yummy cappuccino! I wouldn’t go for pastries though. The filling of their puffs is ok, but the crust is nothing special and a bit dry. Instead, go for cakes, they are fab!

Friendly and warm staff make this place all the better. That and the never ending aroma of coffee. If you are a coffee fan, this is definitely the place for you. They are also not a very large establishment so you can expect a quiet and private environment for some intimate one on one chat or a peaceful corner to surf the net or do some work online.
I do love the warm lighting of this place as it makes me feel comfy and homey. Since I don’t drink coffee, I initially ordered their Milo Affogato but was told that they’d run out, so I settled for a peach tea instead. It was well brewed, without any sugar but the peach taste was strong. Their mushroom quiche was rich and cheesy, but a bit thin compared to certain other bakeries I’ve been to. The guy manning the counter gave the best service though, asking me if everything was alright when I was leaving. This type of service is what makes me want to return if I’m ever in the mood for a peaceful corner to sip my tea.

Epique is the first café I’ve tried out when I first visited Empire Damansara. You can tell with my frequent presence that I sorta like it here. I’m always seated at the loft’s corner — this allows me to overlook everyone in the café. Sometimes I pretend customers entering the café are my new subjects and I’m the King looking from above. So if you happen to see a crazy lady standing at the loft and watching from above, that’s just me.
The coffee here is pretty amazing. I like the fact that their staff are patient enough to talk to you about how and where they source their beans. There were a few cafes I’ve been to with snappy baristas — me no likey. It’s unfortunate that they don’t have skim milk here too (like most cafes). Also, they don’t take cards — only cash. So please make sure you have some notes with you before entering Empire Damansara (there ain’t no ATMs around).
They’ve got a huge range of cakes — their best-​seller is the Gula Melaka Banana cake. I’ve yet to try that one out but I can safely vouch for the Cendol cake. Its texture reminds me of the traditional Pandan layer cake (of which I love!). So to all you sweet tooth out there, try them out!
The place is relatively quiet as well which is always a plus in my books. Sometimes the coffee machine could get a little noisy when grinding the beans but I guess I just have to make do with it — it’s a café after all.
The free Wifi here gets me to hang around for at least a good hour or two. Its internal décor is pretty nice — they’ve nicely spaced out the tables and illuminated the whole place with yellow mood lightings around. There are a couple of couches located strategically around the café (one on the loft) for you to kick back and relax. Limited seatings outside the café though but those tables outside are rarely fully occupied.
If you do drop in, please ask for Bernice and/​or Reuben. They are great people to chat with! Super friendly baristas who would go out of their way to make you feel hospitable. Overall, one of my favourite cafes to work at.
