Most visitors praise the coffee quality and the attentive service from named staff, particularly barista Fadh, who regulars highlight for staying polite and efficient even during rush hours. The space feels calm and the drinks arrive quickly, though a few note the loud espresso machine and occasional friction with cashier staff can detract from the otherwise welcoming experience.
The spacious, well-designed space and friendly service draw repeat visitors, particularly families and those working nearby. However, food quality swings sharply: some praise consistency, while others report overcooked dishes, saltiness, and a serious hygiene incident. The "pet-friendly" tag is misleading, and breakfast drink upgrades cost extra despite promotional wording.
Most visitors praise the friendly staff, calm atmosphere with jazz music, and strong specialty coffees like the Vietnamese Butter Coffee. Breakfast spreads (French toast, roti bakar, noodles) draw repeat custom. One reviewer found food inconsistent and underwhelming; portion sizes and pricing generally please.
Walnut excels at balancing Instagram-worthy industrial design with consistently solid food and service. The double-story glass space with timber furnishings shifts from bright lunch spot to intimate evening lounge, staff are notably attentive, and dishes like truffle mushroom soup and braised lamb shank arrive beautifully plated and tasting near-identical to their menu photos. The menu spans Western chops and seafood pasta through fusion specials (Hainanese chicken chop, herbal lamb shank) to showpiece items like the Walnut Signature Coffee with edible gold. Late hours, alcohol-spiked cakes, and pet-friendly credentials make it flexible for different occasions. Prices for whole beans run RM 35-43; brunch and dinner mains reward the effort of visiting.
