Are the pastries always fresh?

Most reviewers praise flaky, fresh pastries and apple strudel, though one person found a cake tasted stale and old.

Specialty lattes like the Matcha Soy are praised for balanced ratios. One Pistachio latte was too bitter for the reviewer's taste.

How big are the waffles?

The Field of Lemons waffle is huge-one reviewer said it was enough for two people, but noted the bottom was sometimes charred.

What recent reviews say

Bröom draws crowds for its distinctive pastries, specialty lattes, and relaxed interior that works well for a casual hangout. Flaky strudels, macaroons, and matcha drinks earn regular praise, and service shines when staff are engaged. However, mains stumble (Sunday roast arrived fried, not roasted; pasta is forgettable), cakes sometimes taste stale, and prices lean high. A few staff members have been curt with guests, though others go the extra mile.

What reviews say by service

Specialty Coffee & Roastery Cafes: Specialty lattes (Matcha Soy, Pistachio) well-balanced; one reviewer found Pistachio latte too bitter and raw.

Awesome Canteen

4.2(1009)✓ Verified

Food quality and creativity drive most visits, with reviewers praising everything from fried chicken sushi to curry risotto and noting the welcome nutritional info on dishes. A few hit snags: drinks feel undersized for the price, parking is tight, and service staff sometimes lag, though the kitchen generally keeps pace and portions satisfy. Pet-friendly window seating works for dog owners.

One Half

4.3(806)✓ Verified

Coffee quality divides opinion here. Some drip options impress specialty enthusiasts, but others found their brews ordinary and diluted, not matching the premium price tag. Service stumbles: multiple reviewers noted dismissive staff attitudes and an uncomfortable seat dispute when the cafe was packed. The retail corner and creative vibe appeal to locals, and pastries like sea salt chocolate chip cookies were once memorable, though recent visits suggest they have slipped. Outdoor seating and the nearby artistic Taman Paramount scene are genuine draws for regulars. Overcrowding is the biggest frustration. The lack of a queue system led to conflict when one customer was asked to leave a table they had already claimed. Fans turned on and off also puzzled a regular, raising questions about whether they were still welcome after finishing their drink. For coffee lovers seeking absolute consistency or those sensitive to staff warmth, this spot demands careful timing.

Brew Hype @ Taman Paramount

4.5(415)✓ Verified

Brew Hype earns strong marks for latte quality and a quiet, hangout-friendly vibe that appeals to students and post-run brunchers. Service hits high notes with attentive staff, though a couple of recent visitors report long waits for orders even when the cafe was quiet, and the kitchen's 2pm close limits afternoon options.
