Core details are sourced from this business's Google Business Profile (checked 2026-10-15).
Most visits deliver solid food and a calm, tree-filled setting that keeps people coming back. Staff quality varies, and service can lag, but the beef burger and coffee earn regular praise.
Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
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.
Frangipani Gardenkita draws loyal customers for its authentic Malay breakfast dishes, especially laksa, nasi lemak, and sup tulang praised for generous broths and rich flavour. Owner Mawar and her team earn consistent recognition for warmth and hospitality. The kitchen sources fresh, organic ingredients daily and bakes pineapple tarts and muruku in-house. Halal certification and reasonable pricing anchor the appeal. Service reliability and food consistency vary. Reviewers report soggy vegetables, underseasoned dishes, and portions that don't justify prices. During events, menu availability shrinks sharply. A handful flag cleanliness concerns, undercooked fried chicken, and limited payment options (QR only). These gaps seem episodic rather than systemic, though repeat visits have disappointed some former customers.
Most reviewers leave happy about the bright, cozy room and the friendly staff. Many praise the glass walls, the big lemon tree, and how easy it feels to spend a slow afternoon with friends. The food gets mixed notes. Pastries and comfort dishes earn praise, but a few guests found the coffee weak and the food average. One reviewer waited 51 minutes and saw front-counter mistakes, so timing and ordering can be hit or miss.
