Granule opens in Petaling Jaya, Cordon Bleu‑inspired bakery adds sourdough

Granule has opened in Section 19, Petaling Jaya at Unit C-21-01, 3 Two Square, bringing Cordon Bleu‑inspired pastries alongside slow‑fermented sourdough to the neighbourhood. The bakery-café lists opening hours as 7:30am–5:00pm daily except Wednesdays and can be reached at 012-252 5986.

The fit-out leans clean and restrained: "We are welcomed by pristine white walls softened by generous stretches of wood panelling, lending the space a gentle, unforced warmth." Those visual cues arrive before the ovens do; "the aroma of freshly baked bread and pastries that commands our attention" greets customers as they step inside. Photographs from the opening run are credited to CK Lim and show the simple palette that prompted those lines.

Bread sits at the heart of the program. A preview line promised Granule "is set to bring slow-fermented bread and patiently proofed pastries to Section 19’s 3 Two Square," and the tasting notes support that claim. On the loaf the review recorded: "The crust carries a confident, well-developed colour, while the crumb is soft and full of tang. The butter melts obligingly into the warm slices. Very decent." Sourdough options are explicitly part of the bakery's offering, though the bakery has not published starter provenance or fermentation schedules.

Pastry highlights are pitched as equal partners to the bread program. The chocolate tart is described bluntly as "the divinely decadent chocolate tart," with the ganache judged that "The mocha-hued ganache is dense yet silky, sweet without becoming cloying. The way the chocolate’s natural bitterness asserts itself makes for a composed final note." Other items photographed and noted include pain au chocolat, "two neat ribbons of chocolate rest within crisp, buttery laminated layers. Indulgence, carefully calibrated", a whimsically named "Green Eggs and Ham" breakfast turnover whose egg is tinted green with pesto and folded with ham, banana madeleines, egg tart, and a Spanish egg muffin. Early previews also flagged English breakfast muffins being sold at a sister-space event at Monet In The City on Sunday, 28 December, an appearance promoted in a Dec 26 preview post that recorded 4 reactions and 1 share.

The concept traces back to culinary training: Granule was created by chefs with Cordon Bleu backgrounds, and the menu nods to that pedigree with a pastry line that includes "A French classic reinterpreted in the next pastry: Granule’s take on the Cordon Bleu." Public visibility built through a late-December preview and a muffin pop-up preceded the bakery's opening; by February 21, 2026 Granule is described as "newly-opened" and already meeting expectations. "Quite frankly, my friends and I are quite surprised. Not many new openings impress so casually with their offerings. Clearly Granule is a bakery-café that rewards those willing to look past louder addresses; despite its quiet location, it is clearly already flourishing."

Practical details: Unit C-21-01, 3 Two Square, 2 Jalan 19/1, Seksyen 19, Petaling Jaya; open 7:30am–5:00pm daily except Wednesday; phone 012-252 5986. Granule presents a quiet, Cordon Bleu‑influenced counter where sourdough and composed pastries are both front and centre.
