Reviewers praise the Japanese vibe, soft music, and fresh sando and matcha drinks. Price is the main gripe: small portions and a RM1 take-away fee annoy some guests. Noise and resident cats also drew complaints.

Reviewers... no. Diners here often describe a relaxed, bright room that suits long catch-ups. Staff get regular praise for being friendly, and the coffee and sourdough earn steady nods. Food ranges from pasta and katsu curry to cakes and Mont Blanc. Some diners find sandwiches pricey for their size. One visitor waited more than 30 minutes for a fried chicken sandwich, so go when you have time.
