Ode To The Beans, Petaling Jaya

With Sade, Streisand and Spandau Ballet singing on the speakers, Sunday afternoons are soothing and serene at Ode To The Beans, possibly PJ’s most well-hidden cafe.

Our odyssey to Ode: Find the back-alley entrance in SS7’s Parklane Commercial Hub, take the elevator to the fifth floor, then climb a flight of stairs to reach Ode To The Beans, spearheaded by two friendly female founders.

Food here is honest, simple and satisfying - house-baked sourdough toast comes thoroughly topped with tasty produce like smoked salmon, cream cheese and avocado. True to its name, Ode To The Beans does justice to coffee - the oat milk flat white is smooth and balanced.
