Many visitors come for the coffee and the shiopan, and they often leave happy with the drinks and bakes. The room feels roomy and calm, with a newer corner that works well for a quick stop or a longer sit. Service and consistency are the weak spots. Several reviewers found staff cold or slow, and a few said pastries and food cost more than they were worth. One visitor found the coffee lukewarm, so quality can vary from visit to visit.

Reviewers love the burnt basque cheesecake, which many call creamy and gooey. The upstairs space feels cozy and relaxed. Parking is the main gripe, and the room is small.

Visitors mostly leave happy with the peaceful mood and the coffee. Many call it a unique find, with a temple-style look that sets it apart from regular cafes in PJ. Desserts, pastries, and drinks such as the Gula Melaka Latte draw praise. Seating is tight, with only three indoor tables that fill quickly. One reviewer described the staff as unfriendly, so service may vary on a given day.
