Diners often praise the food and the comfortable setting, with many short five-star notes about tasty dishes. Ratings still split sharply, with about a quarter of reviews at one or two stars. The strongest praise goes to the ayam gepuk and a baked cheese pasta, which reviewers describe as rich and filling. Service gets mixed marks: some say staff are friendly, while others report slow help, a language barrier, and menu items that were not available. One reviewer also reported a cockroach.
Diners keep coming back for the staff, especially Mindy, who gets named again and again for helpful, friendly service. The bread and pastries draw the most praise, with many saying the food is healthy and tasty. Not every visit lands well. One reviewer waited 40 minutes for pizzas and got no apology, and another found a walnut sourdough loaf dense. Cake and some pastries got lukewarm notes, so stick to the bread for best results.
