Whisk Outpost

4.0(385)

Regulars often praise the coffee, especially the iced long black and cold brew, and the calm, cozy room. Service is the sore point. Several reviewers found staff cold or rude, and a few say recent visits felt worse. Desserts split opinion. Reviewers call cakes like the Uptown Earl Grey and lemon cream cheese slice dry or too sweet. Seating is tight during lunch and dinner rushes. The Old School pandan cake earned a kinder review, and prices run high for drinks.
