Honestly, am not the biggest matcha fan, and frankly find those strawberry jam matchs far too sweet. But their passionfruit matcha spritz sounded interesting enough for me to want to give matcha another try – and it was honestly delightful. The matcha notes paired perfectly with the refreshing passionfruit. The vibe is cozy and intimate, and it feels more like one of those cool lofts you get in NYC instead of your typical cafe. The space is on the second floor, tucked away behind a steel door with their sign on it. (you have to unlatch the door through the hole in the door) which actualy adds to the "hidden" cafe vibe. Low-key, one of the cooler concept cafes in PJ atm. Gonna come back, am curious to see if the coconut americano is as good as the spritz.

Hira.ware Studio is a thoughtfully designed store tucked away on the second floor of a quiet street in Petaling Jaya. You have to remove your shoes before entering, which adds to the calm atmosphere. The space reflects the brand well: minimal, functional, and quietly distinctive. I bought the Nehru shirt and linen raglan Henley and really appreciated their simple design and understated details. The selection is limited, but the pieces feel carefully considered and worth seeing in person. There is also a coffee bar, which is a nice touch. My only gripe was the fitting room, which felt a bit too narrow and dimly lit, making it harder to properly assess the fit and look of the clothes. Overall, it is a lovely space and worth visiting for both the clothing and the experience.

such a cool space to work at and you can bring your own vinyls to play on their record player ! vibes were great and the workers are super friendly and helpful. i'd highly recommend the matcha here because they actually use one of the most prestige matcha powder brands in japan. +1 because i loved how thick the matcha was. a 10/10 experience, definitely coming back here ꔛ𖤐˒˒

Such a cool place/concept store for creatives. We went there twice and really enjoyed working with our laptops there. Their own fashion brand has also very beautiful pieces. You can even get a good coffee there! Highly recommend :)

Parking availability-wise cannot be any worst but that's not their fault. What's their fault is to make me come all the way, with all the parking problem just to see that they are not following their own stated operation time in Google Map. I am all in for small brand prioritizing quality and authenticity. That's what brings me to the shop at the first place. But not following your own publicised operation hours are just disrespectful to your potential customers.
