What recent reviews say

Staff like Dardar earn repeated praise for attentiveness and warmth. The dark green and wood-toned interior, comfortable sofas, and small lamps draw people back for coffee, cakes, and Asian-Western fusion dishes. Strawberry cake is the standout. One visitor's order vanished from the menu mid-meal with no warning or alternative, a sour note on otherwise excellent service.

The chocolate desserts and crepes draw consistent praise for taste and balance, with staff willing to personalise orders for occasions. However, reviewers flag pricing as high relative to portions, sweetness levels that sometimes overwhelm, and lack of complimentary water as friction points. Recent visits suggest inconsistency in execution and ventilation remains an ongoing concern.

Reviewers consistently praise the coffee quality and relaxed setting. The night-before pre-order system with morning pickup stands out as a key draw, saving time while keeping drinks perfectly prepared. Staff handle logistics well, even bringing orders to cars when parking is tight. Prices feel reasonable for the quality offered. Specialty espresso drinks form the core menu, ranging from bottled coffee (RM35) to chocolate drinks (RM11.90–12.90). The space doubles as a coworking spot, blending café comfort with work-friendly infrastructure. One parking note surfaces, but service recovery was swift.
