This hidden book cafe in PJ has private rooms you can rent to sleep, eat, watch movies & read

Hidden in Jaya One Mall, PJ, this book cafe is the perfect spot for some much-needed me-time. Just like its name, MeTime Book Cafe offers private rooms where you can work, nap, watch a movie, or simply lounge around. You can even turn it into a mini staycation, and the best part? You can rent the room by the hour—making it both budget-friendly and flexible.

Private rooms in a book cafe? Yes please!

The moment you step inside, the zen-like ambience hits you. The place smells like a spa, creating an instant sense of calm and relaxation. Unlike a typical cafe, this one features private rooms designed for comfort, complete with thick mattresses, plush cushions, and even a projector for movie-watching.

They offer different types of rooms to suit various needs:

Bottom Bunker Space – Sleep, rest, work, and study (foldable table provided)
Top Bunker Space – Same as the bottom, but with a loft-style setup
Room 1 – Ideal for conferences, work, and study
Room 2 – Perfect for work, study, and movie sessions
Room 3 – Designed for movie nights, relaxation, and board games
Room 4 – A mix of work, rest, and study
Room 5 – Kid-friendly space for study, work, and rest

If you’re not in the mood to book a room, you can still chill in the open space, where there’s even a mini camping setup!

A cosy atmosphere that feels like home

From the moment you enter, the soft glow of fairy lights and the scent of essential oils create an inviting atmosphere. Bookshelves line the walls, filled with a mix of Chinese and Japanese books—not your usual mainstream bookstore selection. The seating varies from cosy nooks to bean bags and study tables, catering to both solo visitors and small groups.

If you love sipping coffee while reading, the cafe has dedicated reading corners with plush cushions. The calming instrumental music playing in the background makes it the ultimate relaxation spot.

Perfect for work, study, or… a nap?

Beyond being a haven for book lovers, this cafe is a great spot for students and remote workers. The Wi-Fi is strong, and most rooms come with a study table, making it an excellent alternative to traditional co-working spaces. Oh, and did I mention it’s pet-friendly? You might spot Ichi, the resident chonky cat, lounging around—looking very much like the cafe’s real owner!

While the cafe doesn’t serve a full meal selection, they do offer desserts and coffee—perfect for light snacking while you read or work.

Affordable and worth every penny

For a place that offers this much comfort, you’d think the prices would be steep, but they’re surprisingly reasonable. Private rooms start at just RM9.90 for the first hour, and the food and drinks are wallet-friendly too.

Frequent visitors can also opt for a membership program, which provides discounts on room rentals and food—ideal for those who love switching up their work environment or just enjoy cosy cafes.

Whether you need a peaceful escape, a productive workspace, or a cosy hangout spot, it ticks all the right boxes.

It’s the kind of place where you lose track of time (in the best way possible). Just be warned: once you visit, you’ll want to keep coming back. But let’s keep this between us, shall we? We wouldn’t want this hidden gem to get too crowded.
