What do customers say?

Food quality is inconsistent; bread and cakes can be excellent, but staleness and hygiene lapses frustrate repeat visits. Staff range from genuinely warm (Farah, Aqil) to dismissive or slow, and pricing errors or forgotten discounts have eroded trust. Location in Taman Teh Teik Seng draws regulars who praise freshly baked items and a clean space, yet service slowness and product freshness remain friction points.

  • quality cakes and pastries
  • clean venue
Watch-outs
