What do recent reviews say?

Reviewers aside, the coffee draws the most praise, with several guests calling it the best they have had. Staff are described as warm and attentive, and the room feels calm and cozy. Most visitors leave happy with the vibe and the service.

Fade moved from New Town to Lorong Universiti C, and the new space is larger. The menu is short, mostly coffee and cakes, and the owners' care stands out. Some guests found the signage weak, a slice of cake pricey, and weekends busy.
