What recent reviews say

Donuts are the draw here-reviewers praise them as fresh, creamy, and not overly sweet. The outlet is clean and some visits yield quick service. However, staff friendliness is wildly inconsistent. Multiple reviewers report rude, dismissive behavior and lack of eye contact from staff at the counter. Inventory issues also frustrate: hot donuts are often sold out or staff delay making them without clear timelines. Coffee quality is hit-and-miss, and some find it underwhelming compared to specialty cafes.

Praised for
  • fresh, creamy donuts
  • clean outlet
  • fast service
  • friendly staff (inconsistent)
Watch-outs
  • rude, unwelcoming staff
  • inconsistent inventory (hot donuts unavailable)
  • weak coffee quality
  • vague wait times

Best for: People craving fresh donuts without high sugar content, families on a quick errand.
Think twice if: Staff attitude is unpredictable and sometimes unwelcoming. Hot donut stock is unreliable, and you may wait 1.5 hours with no guarantee they'll be ready.

Strengths

  • Fresh, creamy donuts not overly sweet
  • Clean outlet
  • Halal certified

Worth knowing

  • Staff reported dismissive body language and lack of smiles when customers browse donuts
  • Hot donuts frequently out of stock or delayed without clear time estimates
  • One macchiato order was coffee over ice with minimal caramel, disappointing to the reviewer
  • Assorted boxes allow trying multiple flavors

Staff consistently deliver warm, attentive service. Customers praise named team members (Shuhada, Annur, Irah, Kak Ana) for smiling, helping with orders, and even replying via message. Baked goods, pandan cake, and coffee keep people coming back.

Recent five-star reviews consistently mention fast service, friendly staff like Iera and Zety, and clean premises. However, older one-star complaints describe staff rudeness, customers being ignored at the counter across multiple visits, and drink orders not prepared to specification despite requests. The outlet appears inconsistent in both service quality and staff attitude.

Drink quality earns praise when staff engage well, but rudeness and order errors undermine the experience. Inconsistency is the pattern: some visits prompt compliments on speed and friendliness, others spark complaints about dismissive service and wrong items handed over.
