Inside Ini / Itu
Ini / Itu is a café tucked away in the bustling area of Mutiara Damansara, offering a calm spot where locals seem to gather for more than just coffee. The atmosphere strikes a balance between comfort and casualness, making it suitable for both quick catch-ups and longer stretches of remote work or study. It’s not overly busy on weekends, which gives the space a relaxed, inviting rhythm that differs from the usual midday café hustle.
The coffee here draws clear appreciation, brewed with care by a friendly and approachable barista who seems genuinely invested in the craft. Visitors often enjoy starting their day here or settling in for an afternoon recharge. Alongside good coffee, the menu steps beyond typical café fare, including dishes like pesto pasta with chicken and several rice bowls, though some dishes occasionally lean on the heavier side when it comes to oil. For something sweeter, the croffle stands out and has caught the attention of regulars looking for a satisfying dessert or snack.
The café’s layout benefits from generous space, which feels open without being loud, and practical touches like power plugs and wifi make it a reliable spot for remote workers or students seeking a stable place to focus. The friendly community vibe is palpable; you get a sense that Ini / Itu isn’t just about serving food and drinks but nurturing a local hangout where people feel welcome.
Given the location in Petaling Jaya, it fits neatly into the local scene as a quieter alternative to some of the more crowded cafés nearby. If you’re after a low-key environment to work or relax with good coffee and light meals, visiting during weekday mornings or weekend afternoons tends to offer a more peaceful experience.
