What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently praise August Healing for rich, well-executed cakes made with natural ingredients and skilled coffee work, alongside attentive staff. The upstairs Korean-cafe-inspired space feels cozy for lingering, though acoustic issues emerge when crowded and the second-floor location poses a barrier for older customers. Pricing runs RM19-21 per slice, pitched above Kuala Lumpur standards.

What keeps people returning is the surprise factor: each cake (Bubur Cha Cha, Ondeh Ondeh, Lemon Poppy Seed) delivers distinct flavor layers and texture. Service remains friendly even during rushes, making it a reliable spot for afternoon tea or brunch. A few found individual cakes underwhelming, and noise management remains the clearest operational friction.

Chan's delivers standout white coffee, especially the rose-topped signature blend, alongside a thoughtful vegetarian menu that wins over both regulars and first-timers. Staff greet you warmly, the cafe stays clean and comfortable, but parking demands patience and some dishes have vanished as prices climbed.

Reviewers consistently praise the baristas' friendliness, clean spaces, and well-crafted coffee. The location feels designed for focus: spacious tables, stable internet, and power sockets make it popular with remote workers, though one customer hit a snag with a missing delivery order and unresponsive app support.

Staff greet visitors warmly and the minimalist Japanese-inspired space draws people back. Reviewers single out the signature Okinawa Latte, specialty coffee beans with unique profiles, and tiramisu for consistent praise; tiramisu comes in limited editions including Musang King. One reviewer flagged high prices, but most overlook cost for the vibe. The cafe functions as a social hub for dates, groups, and photo sessions. Located downtown opposite Lao Huang, it pulls from a popular Penang chain. Opening hours are noon to 10 PM daily.
