What recent reviews say

Since opening in 2014, this spot has become a go-to for families and friends seeking reliable food and strong coffee in a calm, welcoming setting. Staff greet you warmly and stay attentive even when busy; pet owners appreciate the dog-friendly setup with adoption dogs present.

The kitchen handles crepes, roast chicken, burgers, and breakfast well, though portions and prices invite debate. Peak-hour waits are real, and parking fills fast, so booking ahead helps. Coffee is described as rich, and many return over years, but desserts sometimes disappoint and menu items can feel pricey for portion size.

Buttersome's shio pan and sourdough earn regular praise for texture and flavour; Brazil blend and specialty lattes (pistachio, oat) are smooth and chocolatey. Staff are mostly warm and attentive, though one complaint flagged poor knowledge of cake ingredients. The bright, yellow-toned space with geese/duck mascots feels homemade and cosy. Quality slips occasionally: one visitor found undercooked focaccia on a return visit, and a takeaway order came short an item. Parking is tight but exists. French butter and quality ingredients are advertised and noticed by regulars. Prices sit on the affordable end for the standard offered. The neighbourhood location feels quiet and tucked away. Service speed can vary, especially for sandwiches, which staff typically warn about.

Most visits feel like stepping into a calm refuge from city life: customers praise the thoughtfully crafted specialty drinks (particularly "Not Beer" and "Mount Fuji"), the meditative vibe, and the black cat that roams freely. Staff warmth and pastry quality are consistent positives, though a few found service dismissive or unhelpful when seeking directions. The cafe occupies a deliberately low-key spot above shop lots in a tattoo building, now relocating to Jalan PJU. Barista James creates drinks with bartender-level precision, refining recipes from feedback. The space suits solo work and quiet socialising; multiple reviewers note people working on laptops. Price positioning is described as reasonable.

Reviewers consistently praise the specialty coffee quality, particularly the cappuccino, cold brew, and specialty fruit drinks at prices well below major chains. The location inside a food court limits seating atmosphere but simplifies the experience; takeaway is popular and well-packaged.
