Let me introduce you to Pestle & Mortar, a relaxed restaurant tucked away in Setia Alam that instantly feels like a spot you’ll want to return to without overthinking it. Located at 2, Jalan Setia Prima E U13/E, Setia Alam, 40170 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia, this place blends everyday comfort with a modern café-style setup that works whether you’re popping in for a quick bite or staying longer for a proper catch-up. The overall vibe is casual and friendly, making it easy to walk in, settle down, and feel at ease almost immediately. What I really like about Pestle & Mortar is how flexible the experience is, because you’re not locked into one way of dining. You can choose to dine in and enjoy the relaxed indoor space, grab takeaway when you’re short on time, or sit outside with outdoor seating when you want something a little more open and breezy. The offerings are straightforward but well thought out, with halal food options that suit different preferences and small plates that are great for sharing or sampling without committing to a heavy meal. It’s also a comfortable place for coffee lovers, as coffee plays a big role here, making it just as appealing for casual meet-ups as it is for food-focused visits. The menu supports quick bites, which is perfect if you’re stopping by between errands or meetings, yet the setting still encourages you to slow down if you feel like it. From the way the space flows to how the food and drinks fit into everyday routines, Pestle & Mortar feels like a natural part of the Setia Alam dining scene, offering an easygoing restaurant experience that blends convenience, comfort, and approachability in a way that feels genuinely local.

On a cold rainy day, the food and crew at Pestle and Mortar warmed our hearts (and stomach). Food was deliciously well portioned, and service was friendly. We had a small mix-up yet the workers calmly pointed out where we mixed up our order. We came again later in the evening as it still rained for dinner and ordered their Asian Tai Chow dishes. The fish curry (RM 25) and Egg Foo Yong (RM13 for version with Hainan sauce) were standouts- and once again, very well worth the price paid. Our new favorite cafe
The place was packed. And from what I gather, it is always like that. The food served is good and has a good taste profile. The Grilled Oregano Chicken was good. Served with mango salsa. It's quite unique for this sort of pricing. The size of the chicken is also good. The roasted chicken beast with cherry tomatoes was done just nice. The service is average. I can see that they are under staff as they are working under stress. Nonetheless, they are trying to extend a cordial service. Overall, it is a good place to go to for basically anything as they have both Western and oriental.
The eggs Benedict and smoked salmon on toast was done perfectly. Grilled chicken with black pepper sauce was good too. The cafe latte looked great but the coffee was too diluted with the milk. No coffee smell at all and they should serve it with a cup instead. The coffee served on glass was hot to hold. The place is cozy, staff are nice and the prices are reasonable.
