Most customers return for solid breakfast and lunch options, particularly the nasi ayam gepuk, curry puffs, and loh mai gai. The vintage setting and good lighting draw those wanting photos, but a few have noted inconsistent dish execution and one complained sharply about a manager's loud, dismissive manner during service.
Reviewers consistently praise soft, delicate cakes at reasonable prices and friendly service in a quiet spot. The kitchen delivers hearty western meals as complete sets (soup and bread included) and reliable baked goods, though pasta occasionally misses the mark.
Staff and guests consistently praise Ninety for its coffee, desserts, and warm service in a secluded, cozy setting. Regulars highlight the pesto pasta, rose latte, Kahlua tiramisu, and burnt cheesecake as standouts that keep them returning. Brunch execution splits opinion: pesto prawn toast and pesto pasta earn strong marks, but some find breakfast sandwiches underwhelming (steamed bread) and mushroom dishes bland. Portions lean small. Pricing runs above typical cafe rates, though the guesthouse rooms and evening matcha pop-ups add texture to the overall experience.
Mat Cafe draws praise for its nostalgic decor, warm staff, and standout dishes like lontong and sambal at reasonable prices. But operational hiccups--late openings, menu shortages, and inconsistent food quality--frustrate repeat visitors and those traveling from afar.
