J.CO Donuts & Coffee @ The Curve

3.6(193)

Reviewers split sharply on this J.CO outlet. Many praise the donuts, but recent visits bring complaints about slow counter service and staff who seem distracted or unfriendly. Some diners single out named staff for warm, patient help, while others describe idle workers and dry donuts. Complaints also include boxes handled carelessly and an order shortfall. The 3.6 rating reflects this uneven experience.

Milk & Barley ( The Curve ) - Best Egg Tart Petaling Jaya

4.7(286)✓ Google-verified

Shoppers often praise the staff for being warm and helpful. Many say the egg and cheese tarts taste great, and a few mention quick service at the counter. Tasters are offered before buying, which helps first-timers choose. One reviewer called the tarts fancy but pricey, so a few buyers feel the cost is high. Reviews are mostly short, so detail on the wider menu is thin.

Swedish Cafe

3.8(33)

Swedish Cafe at IPC offers solid coffee, fresh croissants, and a wide range of breads at reasonable prices. However, multiple reviewers report rude cashier and barista interactions that undercut the experience, and weekend queues stretch to an hour. The cafe hires disabled staff members with skill, and non-peak service runs fast.
