10 Cafes and restaurants in SS2 that are worth a visit

Contrary to popular belief, SS2 in Petaling Jaya isn’t just known for its all-you-can-eat durian stalls and famous night market. It’s also a well-known hangout spot thanks to the plethora of cafes and restaurants in the area—so much so that there are enough joints to take you from brunch to a midday treat and all the way to dinner. 

With that said, here are 10 cafes and restaurants in SS2 to consider if you’re wondering where to eat around the neighbourhood.

This dessert cafe serves up both savoury and sweet treats, but is particularly known for its cakes and desserts as well as pastries. Customers can also pair their delicious (and pretty) handcrafted delights with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or wind down with invigorating coolers. If you can’t get enough, you can also order whole cakes and other baked goods directly from its website and get them delivered straight to your door!

Whether you’re looking for Western options like pasta, burgers, and pizza; or Malaysian favourites like nasi ulam, nasi lemak, and nasi kerabu; Cafe Du Jour has it all. We particularly enjoy the cafe’s savoury pies, signature homemade waffles, and cinnamon French toast. With ample sunlight shining through its tall glass windows, you’ll also never run out of angles for the ‘gram.
