What recent reviews say

The cafe wins consistent praise for creative specialty drinks (pandan and gula melaka matcha lattes, peach chiffon cake) and a bright, spacious setting packed with chargers, making it a genuine work-from-cafe draw. Staff warmth varies: most reviewers note friendly, attentive service and willingness to explain coffee details, but closing-time experiences have been tense and dismissive, leaving customers feeling rushed and unwelcome despite strong drinks and cakes.

Strong points are the thoughtfully made beverages, creamy cheesecake, and calm industrial-chic vibe with natural light. The weakness lies in service consistency and a hard 7 pm close that has created friction with customers arriving late afternoon. Drinks alone (no mains) and occasional price pushback on certain items round out the honest picture.

Recent shift: Service consistency has deteriorated or become more visible near closing times; recent 1-star and 2-star reviews (past 2 months) cite staff rudeness and abrupt treatment around 6:30–6:50 pm, contrasting with positive reviews praising friendliness. This suggests closing-time pressure on staff may be creating a friction point not present during regular hours.

Praised for
  • specialty coffee and matcha drinks
  • cakes and desserts (chiffon, cheesecake, creative seasonal items)
  • spacious, bright, pleasant ambience
  • good for work and studying with many chargers
  • friendly and thoughtful staff
Watch-outs
  • poor closing-time service and staff attitude
  • some drinks overpriced or inconsistent quality
  • no hot food or mains, drinks and desserts only
  • staff sometimes abrupt or curt near closing

Think twice if: you plan to arrive near closing (7 pm); staff attitude and pacing around that time have frustrated several customers. Menu is drinks and desserts only, no hot meals.

Worth knowing

  • House-made chiffon cakes (peach and matcha flavours praised)
  • hand-brew coffee at RM 25 available
  • gula melaka matcha and pandan latte mentioned as signature drinks
  • oat milk and regular milk options offered
  • many power outlets throughout space noted by multiple reviewers
  • natural lighting highlighted as a draw for work sessions
  • staff sometimes proactively suggest optimal drink order (e.g. drink matcha cream layer first)

Reviewers consistently praise the food quality, welcoming staff, and atmospheric design, especially for group gatherings and celebrations. The free English Roast Pork birthday promotion stands out as a thoughtful touch that enhances the experience, though waits can stretch during peak service times with larger parties.

Staff are welcoming, the space has ample power outlets for work, and food arrives promptly with fresh ingredients and careful plating. The signature cheesecake and recent menu items draw repeat visits, though kitchen odours post-lunch and occasional saltiness in dishes give pause. Quiet enough for focused study and meetings.
