Thoughts: There are definitely quite a few Western Cafes in Taman OUG, all within walking distance but unfortunately parking is very challenging (although DBKL parking is still free as of now). Particularly one that opened about 6 years ago (in 2015), called "The HUB Coffee Roasters", it is one of several 小型咖啡烘焙店 Independent small-scale coffee roasters with their own brew bars that stirred to life in 巴生谷 Klang Valley few years ago. And another on opened in Damansara Heights one year ago (October 2020), The Hub has become one of KL's many 小型咖啡烘焙店 Independent small-scale coffee roasters, supplying beans to scores of Cafes.

Besides the typical and familiar menu of 拿鐵 Latte, 卡布奇諾 Cappuccino, 小白咖啡 Flat White or 摩卡 Mocha (with a reasonable price of rm$9 to rm$14); another menu show case Filter coffee choices with names perhaps only the real coffee drinkers would know. Coffee names that ends with (N), (W), (A.N.) etc, and the (N) meant "天然 Natural" processing methods for the Coffee or "未洗的咖啡 unWashed Coffee" and (W) meant Washed Coffee! “(NW) 天然咖啡 Natural coffee” (未洗的咖啡 unWashed coffee) refers to the dry process of preparing coffee beans for roasting. The dry process is the oldest method for preparing beans, and it often happens in regions with limited access to water, such as 埃塞俄比亞 Ethiopia and 巴西 Brazil. 天然咖啡 Natural coffee farms don't use water to wash their coffee fruits with the sun-dried process helps bring forward those fruity sugar flavors. As such, 天然咖啡 Natural coffee tends to have a rich and heavy body.
The "埃塞俄比亞耶加雪菲(自然)咖啡 Ethiopia Yirgacheffe (N)" is a Natural Coffee with Fruity taste of Berries, Peach, Appel, and Maple Syrup. Was told it is not as acidic in taste compared to the (A.N.) or 厭氧咖啡 Anaerobic coffees! The Barista manual pour the Coffee into a filter with the correct temperatures and weight, result is a interesting Fruity flavored Coffee and agree it is not strong Coffee nor acidic flavor but rather really very fruity, very likable "Black Coffee".
The HUB OUG offers only Coffee and just a few choice of pastries, and on the shelf are Roasted Coffee Beans as well. The Café is also a single shop lot BUT is a Café as well as a factory which houses a section for 儲藏區域 Storage, the 烘焙 Roasting section at the entrance (enclosed with glass windows), then of course the 咖啡製作區 Coffee making area for the 咖啡師 Baristas as well maybe 10-12 tables for Customers. The walls are interestingly decorated with painted "紙漿蛋托 Paper Pulp Egg Trays", and there is also one corner with natural sunlight. There is WIFI and electrical sockets for your digital devices, so a couple of hours here with a notebook should not be a problem!
