Food-focused cafe delivering consistently impressive dishes, from beef dendeng spaghetti to homemade cakes and pancakes, backed by genuinely good coffee and creative lattes. The space pulls people in with a cosy, artsy warmth-library nook, record player, genuine family ownership-but kitchen ventilation and toilet upkeep need attention, and the espresso can taste mild.
Strong coffee at bargain prices keeps locals coming back. RM5 flat whites and lattes draw praise for taste and value; owners are genuinely warm. Cakes are a hit-or-miss side note, and the annexed event space works well for small gatherings.
The October Cafe delivers consistent warmth through careful cooking and genuine hospitality. Coffee, curries, croissants, and noodles earn repeated praise; staff (especially owner Pearly Tan and her mother Geraldine) connect with guests personally. One pasta dish fell short on portion and texture, but that's a rare dent in an otherwise solid track record.
Diners like the warm, neighbourhood feel and the friendly owner who often greets guests. Food gets good marks for taste and portion size, with breakfast and pasta or rice bowls mentioned. A resident orange cat is a favourite. Few complaints appear in the recent reviews.
