Can I stay longer than 90 minutes?

The cafe enforces a 90-minute table limit, particularly strict during peak hours. Reviews note this is communicated in-venue but worth knowing upfront.

Street parking is unavailable (all outdoor spaces are reserved). Indoor basement parking is available but reviewers describe it as hard to find.

Do you accept group bookings?

Group reservations are not accepted during peak hours, though this policy is not disclosed at the time of booking. Best to call ahead if you're bringing a large group.

What recent reviews say

Coffee quality is genuinely strong-regulars return specifically for the specialty beans and espresso-and the brunch menu impresses when the kitchen is on. Early mornings feel calm and welcoming, but peak-hour visits turn chaotic: staff enforce a 90-minute table limit with little warmth, group bookings are handled poorly, and weekend queues move slowly. Service tone varies sharply from genuinely helpful to abrupt.

The space works well for solo work or quiet breakfasts before 9am, and the food (especially cakes and rice dishes) earns solid praise. Prices sit above average for the area. Parking means hunting in a basement lot; street spaces don't exist. Expect friction if you arrive during weekend rush or bring a large group without knowing their unspoken peak-hour rules.

Recent shift: Service consistency has declined: early reviews (2-4 weeks ago) noted occasional staff helpfulness and food quality, but recent reviews flag poor communication on group policy, slow seating during weekends, and staff tone ranging from warm to dismissive. Peak-hour friction appears to be a growing pain.

Best for: Solo workers and couples seeking quiet early mornings; specialty coffee enthusiasts; brunch in off-peak hours.

Think twice if: You dislike enforced seating time limits or need fast turnaround on weekends. Peak-hour group bookings face friction and poor upfront disclosure of rules.

Strengths

specialty-grade coffee beans and espresso
strong brunch and all-day menu
relaxed early-morning atmosphere
in-house coffee workshops

Worth knowing

90-minute seating limit, enforced more strictly during peak hours
group reservations not accepted during peak hours (policy disclosed poorly)
basement indoor parking available; outdoor spaces reserved
specialty focus: staff direct customers to coffee as the standout over food
decaf bean stock sometimes runs out

What reviews say by service

Specialty Coffee: Genuine specialty-grade beans and espresso are the real draw; regulars praise quality consistently.
Aesthetic / Instagrammable Cafes: Attractive, cozy ambience and plated food photograph well, though noise increases on weekends.
Study & Work-Friendly Cafes: Ideal for focused solo work in the morning (peaceful before 9am), but 90-minute time limit and weekend crowds limit afternoon suitability.

Reviewers consistently praise the specialty coffee and matcha drinks, praising the chiffon cakes and cheesecakes as standout items. The two-floor space draws families and remote workers alike, boosted by chargers, natural light, and a calm atmosphere that invites lingering. The main friction point emerges near closing time at 7 pm, when some staff have communicated closing abruptly rather than declining orders upfront. Pricing sits at the higher end, though most accept it as reasonable for the venue and quality. Barista knowledge is typically strong, but turnover and occasional coldness from individual staff members have occasionally undermined the experience.

Diners consistently praise the food quality, welcoming staff, and pleasant setting. A strong draw is the complimentary English Roast Pork birthday meal, which reviewers highlight as thoughtful and delicious. The space works well for group bookings and family outings, though busy periods can mean longer waits.

Most visitors praise the cafe's calm vibe, decorated space, and staff warmth, especially baristas like Raz. Coffee drinks like the Tiramisu Latte draw repeat visits. However, several recent reports flag poor execution: avocado toast arrived with black, flavorless avocado; a barista served iced latte below room temperature; and during a quiet Sunday, tables sat piled with unwashed dishes and drinks waited unpicked for 10 minutes. Parking is limited and requires RM5 valet or informal arrangements with the security guard.
