10 Gram, also known as 10 Gram Gourmet at Ayer8, in Putrajaya is a highly popular, aesthetic cafe famous for its scenic lake views, industrial-chic decor, and inventive “lab style” drink presentations. It is a favorite among local hipsters & international tourists and foodies for casual hangouts & photography. The cafe features a cozy, lush green interior mixed with warm wooden and industrial design elements. While the cafe specializes in Western and fusion dishes, they are famous for hearty portions and beautiful plated desserts. The Caramel Cafe Latte is a crowd favorite, alongside inventive, creamy pastas.

As senior citizens, my wife, Zarina & I were happy to accept the invite from our children, Farouq & his best half, Nadja and their son, Daniel together with Zana & Fariz for a real hearty breakfast at 10 Gram Cafe. Yes, senior citizens can easily mingle with hipsters at 10 Gram. The cafe is inclusive & accessible to older adults. Tables are well-spaced. This accommodates mobility aids easily, with the serene lakefront is peaceful. It avoids laud, overwhelming music. (@10gramgourmet.com )

I like 10 Gram at Ayer@8 that naturally fosters a vibrant, inter-generations atmosphere. The cafe bridges the gap between different age groups through its unique location, design and menu choices. The diverse crowd comprises of grandparents, tech-savvy youth and young families share the same space. Both hipsters and seniors appreciate the specialty coffee and scenic, photography views. The trendy industrial decor appeals to youth, while the calm lake views attract retirees. Multigenerational families easily find dishes that satisfy the adventurous teens, the smart young professionals & traditional elders.

I noticed 10 Gram is anchored on brand expansion, culinary diversification, and its strong appeal to evolving local demographics. The band is solidifying its footprint in the federal administrative capital through multi-concept expansion and targeted community experiences to capture different market segments.
