What recent reviews say

Staff rudeness dominates complaints, with multiple reviews citing dismissive or argumentative interactions. Order issues including misspelled cake inscriptions and undercooked chicken suggest inconsistent quality control and weak problem-solving when mistakes happen.

The bakery offers cakes, breads, pastries, and hot snacks at moderate prices. Halal-certified. Located in Kawasan Perkilangan Jelapang. Visit knowing service can be uneven and that custom orders need careful verification before finalizing.

Reviewers consistently praise the coffee strength and find good value at this specialty roaster. The waterside setting and friendly staff stand out, though one critic flagged that the small cup size doesn't match the RM12 price point for what feels like mostly ice.

Secubite earns consistent praise for sourdough, croissants, and fresh pastries at fair prices, with owners who show genuine warmth. Service can be slow and disorganised; expect multiple trips to collect orders and occasional coffee inconsistencies.
