Thoughts: A new hidden gem in USJ! The little café called "17gram beans" is managed by a young Malay couple "Emi and Jai"; and the Emi or is it Jai (the husband, I think) is a self-made 咖啡師 barista. Previously worked in the Corporate world in Accounting, but decided to venture into his passion for making a good cup of coffee. You can find the café at the ground floor (previously 7/11) which is next to the lift (before the escalator up the LRT station). 
There are at least the following coffee spots in USJ21:
星巴克 Starbucks (Main Place Mall) - Coffee, Pastries, some Meals choices (24 August, 2021)
ZUS Coffee (Main Place Mall) - Coffee, Pastries and Cakes (24 Oct, 2020)
Memang Meow (Main Place Mall) - Coffee, Nasi Lemak, Oden, Bread-egg-Toast (01 Jan, 2022)
こむぎ Komugi (Main Place Mall) - Coffee, Pastries and Cakes (03 June, 2022)
HomeTown Hainan Coffee (1, Jalan USJ 21/5) - Coffee, Meal choices (19 Feb, 2022)
17gram beans (USJ21 LRT station) LATEST - Coffee, Nasi Lemak bungkus, Kueh
MyExpresso Cafe (63, Jalan USJ 21/11) - Coffee (14 Jan, 2019)
Instead of using a coffee machine like Starbucks; Emi uses a hand pressed espresso maker and therefore every step of a cup of coffee from grinding the coffee bean, weighing, then using the Manual (Lever) Espresso Machine to make the espresso, ...etc  as Emi explains while making a cup of Latte for me. And today's excellent rm$8 拿鐵 Latte is using coffee bean from 埃塞俄比亞 Ethiopia; and Emi changes to different coffee beans weekly (and next week will be coffee beans from 印度尼西亞 Indonesia). "17 gram beans" also offer different small bites (on a rotation basis) like curry puff, nasi lemak bungkus, packets of kueh etc; and maybe many LRT commuters will have their cuppa take-away, but the Café also offers 2 low chair tables and high chair at the coffee bar. 
These are the following Coffee spots available at KL LRT stations (probably more than these):
Optimist Coffee @ Ampang Park LRT station - Kelana Jaya Line (visited on 4 June.2019)
Optimist Coffee @ Kerinchi LRT station - Kelana Jaya Line (maybe Temporary closed)
Coffee for Good @ Kerinchi LRT station - Kelana Jaya Line
17gram Beans @ USJ21 LRT station - Kelana Jaya Line
Costa Express Coffee @ Pasar Seni LRT station - Kelana Jaya Line
myNEWS (Maru Kafe) @ Bangsar LRT station - Kelana Jaya Line
Cool Station @ Sri Rampai LRT station - Kelana Jaya Line
Starbucks @ Masjid Jamek LRT station - Kelana Jaya Line
It's A Grind Coffee House @ KL Sentral LRT station - Kelana Jaya Line
For coffee at USJ21's "17gram Beans" take-away coffee, customer maybe can park at drop-off locations or maybe better at legitimate MPSJ parking along USJ 21/10 shop lots which are within walking distance to the LRT station. 
Will be back!
