What recent reviews say

Strong coffee and baked goods draw regular visits, with reviewers consistently praising the cosy, air-conditioned space and attentive staff. Breakfast portions and specialty drinks (aerocana, matcha yuzu) stand out. Cash-only payment frustrates some, and service can feel unorganised during crowded periods, though quality remains consistent overall.

Most visits deliver friendly staff, fast service, and dependable nasi lemak that reviewers praise for crispy texture and good sambal. Service falls apart on busy shifts: orders get mixed, food arrives cold, and wait times spike; one major complaint cost RM98 and sourced wrong dishes for two hours. Prices split opinion sharply. RM7-8 nasi lemak draws "overpriced" backlash from one camp while others call it fair value. Best for casual hangs near Lost World Tambun; weekends and peak hours strain capacity and kitchen accuracy.

Visitors consistently praise the quality coffee, matcha, and especially the souffle pancakes across their range of flavours. The space itself (two air-conditioned floors with PS4 and pool table) appeals to groups wanting to stay late, and staff energy is frequently cited as genuine and warm, though one reviewer experienced a 45-minute wait on a food order.
