Thoughts: Opened sometime June 2022, about 7 months ago; USJ16's "16 degrees coffee" is one of the Go-to neighborhood Café when there is a need for Cuppa; some would prefer the Starbucks at the USJ16 Caltex Petrol station. Recommended for a good Cup of coffee by Local Café operators (maybe more) in USJ are:
USJ2 Apronfools (last visit March 17, 2019)
USJ4 Tiennielicious Cafe (last visit November 12, 2021)
UJS9 Copper Pot Cafe (last visit March 27, 2021)
USJ10 JDV CAFE (last visit April 25, 2021)
USJ10 Golden Seed Cafe (last visit May 28, 2022)
USJ11 The Crusty Nest (last visit ) (last visit October 17, 2018)
USJ16 16 degrees coffee & grocer (last visit January 8, 2023)
USJ21 17gram beans at USJ21 LRT station (last visit October 10, 2022)
USJ21 MyEspresso Cafe (last visit January 14, 2019)
Today, the 正月初五 5th day of the Lunar New Year is customary for Businesses to welcome the 財神 God of Wealth and therefore many businesses should be open for operations today: 
初四又稱迎神日 (Yesterday was the Day of welcoming the Gods Return) 
初五是生意人迎財神 (Today is the Day for Businesses to welcome God of Wealth )
初六則是開工大吉 (Tomorrow will be good day to Start Work) 
USJ16's "16 degrees coffee & grocer" opens for business today since Sunday (正月初一 1st day of Chinese New Year) nearby USJ16's 貴賓樓 Vess Inn and USJ17's 新海景 New Weng Soon Jaya Kopitiams (opened since yesterday) are all offering their usual hawker stall foods again! AND today,  besides 拿鐵 Latte, it is a rm$10 "大理石黃油蛋糕 Marble butter Cake" and you can always request Barista to warm it for you. 
大理石黃油蛋糕 Marble butter cake is a combination of traditional 黃油蛋糕 butter cake (king of the 英式磅蛋糕 English pound cake) and 巧克力奶油蛋糕 chocolate butter cake. The idea of the marble cake (which is the idea of marbling two different colored batters into a cake originated in nineteenth-century Germany) seems to have originated in 十九世紀初的德國 early nineteenth century Germany; The earliest version of marble cake consisted of a "Kugelhopf" (甜酵母麵包 sweet yeast bread), one half of which was colored with 糖蜜 molasses and 香料 spices to achieve a dark colored batter. That German style Marble cake made its way to America with German immigrants before the American Civil War (1861 - 1865). In 1889, a recipe appeared in a popular cookbook that took advantage of Americans’ 對巧克力的痴迷 obsession with chocolate and replaced molasses with chocolate. Thus, the popular marble cake that we know about today was born.
