Bake & Brew Cafe @ PJ New Town
Most regulars praise the cafe for its warm service, generous servings, and winning blend of fresh Vietnamese dishes with house-baked pastries. The owner and his brother are noted for attentiveness and care. However, two separate one-star reviews mention finding a roach in delivery orders (beef stew), raising serious food safety concerns that sit uncomfortably with otherwise consistent praise for cleanliness and quality. The core appeal is a relaxed neighbourhood spot for brunch or a quiet lunch, with reliable coffee, curry puffs, banh mi, and Vietnamese soups or beef stew. Desserts such as Belgian chocolate cake and garlic toast draw repeat visits. Fair pricing and no rush atmosphere work well for study or casual meetups, though those ordering via delivery may want to verify freshness.
