Seven Cups

Been really drawn to the café the first time I see it actually, but my friend and I were too full after our late lunch so we didn’t go in.
Finally visited the place last week after visiting the neighbourhood again and it was no disappointment at all. It was a warm afternoon, and what’s better than an iced latte? It made me a happy kid already and what made it even better is their blueberry lavender waffles. Did I say that they use inside scoop’s ice cream here? I am a big fan of inside scoop’s ice cream and to find their ice cream in a café that I like a lot is happiness I assure you!
Prices for their waffles here are pretty reasonable in my opinion and what’s good was that the crowd wasn’t too crazy that weekend afternoon, which gives you and your friends a very cozy place to catch up. Do note that it could a bit stuffy and warm in here during some afternoons though.
Wifi is available here too, making this a good spot to be your office on the go too if you’re wrapping up some work.
Parking used to be free for empire damansara, but they have started their parking systems now. Some people choose to park illegally across the street, but bear in mind it’s still a risk yea!

Empire Damansara is not a very big area, and yet there are more coffee places than necessary. I love the atmosphere at Seven Cups, and I happen to make some new friends and contacts when I was there. In fact, I was introduced to this place because I received a discount voucher for buying a show ticket at the Damansara Performing Arts Centre (DPAC). Even before that, I found the place rather interesting and thought I would try it out someday. The café turned out somewhat disappointing to me. My friend ordered an ice latte and I got an ice long black for myself; both turned out bland and watery. When the coffee is not up to expectations, it kind of serves as a deterrent from trying out the other snacks they have.

Stepping in here gives you a calm and clean feeling with these glass windows and wooden interiors. Empire Damansara is definitely a decent place to chill and hang out.
The Owner was said to be trained at the Artisan Roast HQ and Top Brew Coffee Bar under acclaimed barista JH Yee. If you are a coffee person, you are definitely at the right place. The coffee beans are imported from a couple of places. You’ll find The Coffee Collective of Copenhagen & Monk Bodhi Dharma of Melbourne, though the mainstay is Singapore’s Nylon Coffee Roasters.
If you are seeking for cooling beverages, the aged cold brew (RM12) & iced lime black brew (RM13) will be the wisest choice to go for.
I was here for its waffles :) They partnered with inside scoop to come out with really amazing waffles that are to die for. Belgian semi-​sweet choc mousse & strawberries macerated in balsamic vinegar (RM17), house-​made lavender-​infused blueberry compote (RM15), bananas with toasted almond flakes & fresh-​ground coffee (RM16), or Ceylon cinnamon-​infused sugar glaze with salted caramel ice cream (RM14). Just LOOK AT THE MENU. I don’t know how can you not get an foodgasm here. :P
It’s gonna be a hot spot in town. Or wait, they already are. :)

Though the joint here is a tad bit small, their coffee sure packs a punch. The interiors were embellished with a well-​blended choice of colors that matched the wooden, vintage-​inspired walls. This gave the environment a serene, mellow vibe that would put anyone into a tranquil-​like state.
Moving on to the coffee, the coffee here is a must try. I like my coffee black and strong, like my soul. Very well-​brewed and doesn’t taste like those 3-​in-​1 packs. They also sell flat whites, expressos, cappucinos and many more. To take it up a notch, the affogato which is basically a scoop ice cream dunked into the bitterness of strong black coffee. Desserts and drinks here are ranged just below RM 15, which makes it affordable yet somewhat expensive for coffee. Nonetheless, this place is worth to give a go.

Sevencups is another adorable café at Empire Damansara that I visited a while back with a couple of good friends. Albeit it a being a little small, Sevencups still managed to radiate a very amicable and mellow environment that I instantly fell in love with! Their interior was gorgeously decorated as well, an enticing blend of colors that complimented their smooth wooden walls.
Coffee here was served with a choice of black or white. For instance if you preferred your drink black, you could have the espresso or sparkling black. If milk is your thing, they offer up choices like the affogato and full white. Price there ranges from RM7−15 for a cup. Sevencups also provide customers with a tantalizing selection of cakes and desserts like the Black Velvet (RM 10) and the Sea Salt Caramel Brownie (RM12). Personally, I preferred my velvet cake compared to the affogato. It’s creaminess was just slightly overwhelming for my taste, and it would have been so much better if they had just dialed it down a bit.
Nevertheless, Sevencups is a pretty rad place to just unwind after a long day with a good cuppa. If you’re alone or with company, this place is definitely a must try!

Randomly stumbled upon this cute café while I was looking for a place with cakes and coffee after brunch with a group of girlfriends. Their collaboration with Inside Scoop which led to a pop up drew us in as we wanted to cool off on that hot day.
The selection of coffee here is pretty standard but it was the cakes that grabbed my attention. I went with the lemon poppyseed cake as I wanted something light and my friends ordered their latte. Complimentary water is provided so that was a plus point and there’s also wifi available.
The café takes on a minimalistic approach with a few quirky drawings and wooden elements incorporated everywhere. There’s also a few tables outside and I sat outside enjoying the breeze over good conversation and cakes.

Sevencups is one of the best places to get a proper cup of coffee. If you’re into the fancy third-​wave stuff, their house blend from Nylon Coffee Roasters is a personal favourite of mine. Plus, the baristas are well-​trained. The cakes are all homemade, and they certainly put effort into making sure everything is of good quality. The same applies to the waffles, served with ice cream from Inside Scoop.
I also like the set-​up here; it’s calm and clean without too many adornments. Love the minimalist blond wood look and the music selection is a bonus. My only complaint is, it can get a bit hot in the afternoons and when you’re sitting down to do your work because they leave the doors open even when the air-​conditioning is switched on. I was once left sweating on my laptop and had to leave simply because of that.

This is the place that close to wonders and perfection. 7 is not an ordinary number. There are 7 wonders in the world and for sure the Sevencups should be one of them.
This café is no like any others. So elegance and tempting by the time other cafes trying to look as hip as possible. Loves the white wall. Plus, white is my favorite color. This place is so cozy and bright. I ordered a macchiato and it was truly rich and delicious.
I don’t have enough time to try some other foods and drinks on the menu at that moment but I think I’ll gonna be there again sooner.

The board «I LOVE YOU MORE THAN COFFEE BUT DON’T ASK ME TO PROVE IT «is so quirky and catchy. When I think of coffee, Seven Cups café flashes in my mind. It is a very good marketing gimic!
Nice enough place to hang out with your buddy. The incredible selection of coffee from different countries spanning from Melbourne, Copenhagen and our neighbourhood country Singapore makes your choice that more difficult! Coffee lovers, don’t miss this place!
I love my cuppa of coffee and the waffle crisp on the outside and topped with blueberry! This café made it worthwhile my time as I explore the vast town of Damansara area! Do drop by here if you are around the area, don’t miss it!

One of the very first café that opened in Empire Damansara, serving coffee & cakes. They decorated their café with mostly wooden materials so you’ll be expecting wooden chairs & tables as well as wooden flooring’s.
The variety of coffee is the usual ones you’ll get like Latte, Espress, Americano and others as well. I usually go for Ice Latte there.
They also serve waffles as well and you get to choose your flavour for toppings. They have ice cream as well to go along with your waffle if you’re a fan of waffles and ice cream.
There is free WiFi as well if you’re looking for a nice place to work. Coffee, waffles & WiFi — what more can I ask for?

Sevencups is the ultimate café for those who do not value the space bar on their keyboards, and serves pretty decent coffee even when the name itself bears the fact that the owner prefers novelty over practicality.
Their latte is pretty much what you will want to taste in that small cup of coffee. Perfect acidity that is coupled with the froth that makes your mind calm down, and your heart racing due to the inevitable caffeine rush. I did not eat the cakes there, but since there are many customers who ordered cakes too, I will just put a side note that their cakes might be delicious. Might.
After visiting so many cafes and restaurants, even a good café like Sevencups will inevitably be incomparable to a certain few that I like so much more. Then again, Sevencups is the place to go if you are willing to be a coffee hoarder for the rest of your life.

Coffee + Cakes + Waffles!
Seven cups is one of the pioneer cafes here in Empire Damansara. It’s located directly opposite Texas Chicken.
This cozy café is decorated with a minimalistic approach, wooden flooring and wooden furniture. Also, they have these cute yet emotionless paintings of girls around. When you walk through the doors, it feels like home.
Seven cups just started brewing using Sydney’s Ethiopia Duromina from Mecca Espresso.
They serve made to order Belgium waffles here. My favourite is the banana toffee waffle topped with ice cream!
Speaking of ice cream, Seven cups have also recently partnered up with inside scoop and now serves their ice cream in store.
They have a wide range of cakes and pastries made fresh daily. I’d recommend the black velvet.
Good food, great service.

Every time I drop by Empire Damansara, I would find something new there to do or visit. My recent finding is the new café Sevencups. It is located at the corner in front of Texas Chicken and Avenue Bistro.
It can be hard to spot if they close their side entrance, or you would think they are close. However, don’t give up so easily, and just walk around the corner and you will find this gem of a café.
With about less than 15 tables inside and a minimalist decòr, Sevencups is a perfect spot for one to have a cup of coffee while reading a book or working on their laptop.
Unfortunately for me, I wasn’t able to enjoy all that because my laptop had just broke down. All I had was a cup of flat white and a scoop of ice-​cream that is supplied by Inside Scoop! Well, hands down to the ice-​cream; Strawberry Cheesecake flavour. The flat white was just alright, not too strong, not too weak.
It is a pretty cosy café but one thing about the place, it was difficult to get coverage for Celcom. My line was mostly dead during that time, however Sevencups has decent WiFi internet speed and I managed to get on the net through my mobile.
I would go back again to try their cakes too and the age cold brew.
Opening hours:
