The heritage-style setting and specialty coffee draw regulars, but recent visits reveal uneven execution. Coffee quality (especially white coffee and cham) stays solid, yet nasi lemak rice lacks fragrance, meat portions disappoint, and laksa tastes thin and watery. Service lags even during quiet lunch hours, and staff fail to warn customers upfront when menu items are unavailable. One reviewer encountered spoiled curry chicken; another faced flies indoors despite air conditioning. Food prices don't justify these lapses in quality or consistency.
Staff turnover or a shift in kitchen standards may explain why the rating (4.6) outpaces recent guest experience. Brunch quality and service timing need urgent attention if the restaurant wants to match its reputation.
Recent shift: A name change was noted, yet food quality and service gaps have persisted or worsened in recent months, suggesting the change did not resolve underlying operational issues.
Food arrives in large portions with a strong lineup of buttermilk chicken, braised meats, and signature squid; most diners leave happy. Pet owners specifically praise the relaxed welcome, though one reviewer had a rough encounter with staff over a birthday discount and felt the pricing didn't justify the quality.
Diners consistently return for bold, well-prepared food and warm service in a space that welcomes dogs and families alike. The Singer sewing machine tables and calm outdoor patio create a memorable setting; Thai basil pasta and popcorn chicken are standouts, with complimentary welcome shots adding to the experience. Staff attentiveness and the pet-friendly setup (outdoor area confirmed) draw locals willing to make the trip to Pusat Bandar Puchong. Food quality holds across cuisines-Western, Thai, Japanese-though a small number note inconsistency. Easy parking and kids-friendly vibes reinforce the draw for group dining.
Most meals arrive quickly and taste good, with nasi lemak and prawn mee standing out. The space is roomy, parking is available front and back, and the coffee beans come from Brew & Bread. However, multiple diners report high prices relative to value, and two separate reviews detail serious food poisoning with poor restroom conditions. Drink consistency is uneven, with some specialty items described as far below kopitiam standard.
