Dessert lovers who want unusual local-flavour cakes and a calm sit-down

What do customers say?

Reviewers praise the cosy mood and the creative layered cakes, like the Bubur Cha Cha and Ondeh Ondeh versions. Staff get kind words for being patient and friendly. Taste splits the room, though. Several guests found the cakes too mild, while others loved the lower sugar.

The shop sits on the second floor, so the stairs can be a problem for older guests. Slices run around RM19 to RM21 per the reviews, and some felt that was steep. Drinks, especially the latte art, earned good notes. Expect a lively room at busy times.

Reviewers praise the bright, spacious outlet, the air conditioning, and the calm vibe. Many five-star visitors call the staff friendly and say the space feels relaxing. Drinks and app ordering are easy when the shop is quiet. Busy periods bring the biggest complaints. Some guests wait an hour for an order, and a few say staff seemed rude or smelled strongly of perfume. Barista noise also makes it hard to hold a quiet meeting here.
