What recent reviews say

The scenic, mountain-facing backdrop with retro indoor and outdoor spaces draws visitors, especially those hunting for photos. Coffee and roti bakar earn consistent praise, and prices undercut other viral spots nearby. However, service stalls unpredictably (30-minute waits, staff inattention), food quality swings meal to meal, Wi-Fi fails, and some customers report unclean tableware; staff friendliness divides reviewers sharply.
