Damansara Uptown’s new NEAT is not our conventional coffee bar - founded by Malacca-born hobbyist artist Daniel, it’s filled with meaningful personal touches, from Daniel’s sand paintings to a second-hand typewriter that reminds him of his father to a Christmas ‘tree’ ladder that represents the hard work of parents to provide for their children.
Even the lattes are thought-provoking, layered with fruits like bananas and watermelon, their sweetness balancing out the coffee’s bitterness. While waiting for your beverage, take a photo by Daniel’s painstakingly crafted moon art, complete with intricate lunar craters.
Painting workshops are also offered here. Look for the easel strapped outside the second floor to spot NEAT from the street.
