What recent reviews say

Palette delivers a reliably cozy cafe experience centred on fresh pastries and layered cakes. Regulars praise the croissants for their flakiness, tiramisu and brownie cheesecakes for creaminess, and the pastel interior for its calm, Instagram-friendly vibe. Drinks like the Hojicha Latte earn consistent praise for balance.

A handful of visits landed on inconsistent notes: one cheesecake tasted flavourless and the lemon jelly layer felt hard, while another visit involved distracted staff on phones and rushed pricing complaints. Most reviewers note the experience depends on timing and which item you order, though repeat customers remain loyal to the pastries and cakes.

Praised for
  • fresh, buttery pastries and croissants
  • soft, creamy cakes with quality flavours
  • cozy, pastel-themed atmosphere
  • thoughtful service and staff warmth
Watch-outs
  • inconsistent cake quality and flavour on slow days
  • dessert pricing not always justified
  • occasional staff inattention

  • Mini sausage bites commended
  • Delivery packaging includes gold foil accents
  • Baking classes offered (mentioned as reason for quality pastries)

Tinybaker draws crowds for eye-catching cakes and a photogenic interior, especially on quiet weekdays. Flavors land well when they connect, but some reviewers found the taste underwhelming relative to the RM17 price point, and service warmth varies.

Most visitors love the dark, relaxing space and appreciate staff like Niloy who go the extra mile; coffee and pastries often impress. Quality and pricing are polarised: some rave about bagel sandwiches and croffy crispiness, while others report reused cooking oil, bland mains, and RM36 pasta that tastes tinned-a real risk at this price point.
