What recent reviews say

Most customers praise the coffee balance and barista warmth, naming staff like Fatihah, Aida, and Syamimi repeatedly. Drinks hold up across repeat visits, and the setting feels calm enough to linger. A handful report disappointing shots and clarity issues around closing-time policies, suggesting execution can slip when demand peaks or staffing shifts.

Specialty coffee beans score 91 points per Coffee Review, and prices sit just above standard cafe fare. The outlet draws loyal regulars who cite brown sugar lattes and medium-dark roasts as standouts. Halal certification appeals to the local customer base.

Recent shift: A one-star quality complaint a week ago (tasteless coffee, poor SOP execution) contrasts sharply with years of high praise, suggesting recent staff turnover or inconsistency during peak service.

Common questions

Do you have Monday promotions?
Yes. Customers report buying on Mondays for promotions, though the specific discount or drink is not detailed in reviews.
What is your closing time policy on trash disposal?
The outlet lists 10 PM closing but does not allow trash disposal after 9:30 PM, according to a customer complaint. This mismatch may cause confusion at handover.

Ticco's desserts, especially the Swiss rolls, earn consistent praise for soft texture and thoughtful flavor balance. The space itself is polished and calm, drawing people who value aesthetics and a place to linger. However, pricing frustrates reviewers relative to portion, and service quality swings widely: some staff are warm and engaged, others distracted or dismissive. The coffee, despite using exclusive El Salvador beans, receives mixed reviews for taste and temperature.

The cafe's redesign brought a fresher space with varied seating and a strong pastry lineup at fair prices, earning praise for its work-friendly vibe. But staff behaviour is a weak point: one barista reportedly showed customers different levels of attention based on their appearance, while another was caught handling food preparation and his nose with the same unwashed hands, and a recent visitor was left hanging mid-order when the server switched to her phone without explanation.
