What recent reviews say

Airplane Mode Coffee draws crowds for its specialty coffee, signature tofu cheesecake, and unhurried vibe in a cosy setting. Good on coffee and char siu noodles, friendly staff including a resident cat called Manis. Fair warning: peak times bring 30-45 minute waits, and food quality varies; the cheesecake is best eaten quickly.

Praised for
  • excellent coffee and specialty beans
  • standout tofu cheesecake dessert
  • cozy laid-back atmosphere
  • friendly staff and resident cat
  • standout char siu noodles
Watch-outs
  • long wait times during busy periods
  • inconsistent food quality and flavors
  • crowded and noisy on weekends
  • rich/heavy desserts can be satiating

Best for: coffee and dessert lovers seeking a relaxed pace; less ideal for those pressed for time on weekends.
Think twice if: peak weekend visits can stretch waits to 45 minutes; food can taste bland on busy days; the tofu cheesecake loses shape after 30 minutes.

Strengths

  • specialty coffee with two bean options barista-prepared
  • signature tofu cheesecake praised for lightness and balance
  • laid-back atmosphere and resident cat
  • char siu noodles and egg rice dishes

Worth knowing

  • resident cat named Manis
  • two coffee bean options available
  • tofu cheesecake signature dish praised for texture but melts after 30 minutes
  • char siu noodles and egg rice praised; char siu described as lean-to-fatty balance
  • wait times reported as 30-45 minutes during peak periods

Besties Club delivers a relaxed, genuinely welcoming space where staff make an effort to accommodate. The coffee is solid, bagels and nasi goreng cili padi earn repeated praise, and matcha uses quality Neko brand. One poor service day and occasional staff inconsistency temper an otherwise strong record.

Most reviewers praise the relaxed setting and western menu, especially the desserts and mains. Food quality and value feel uneven to some, and opening hours have been unclear.

Rasa Nostra draws loyal customers for its tempoyak patin and specialty Malaysian curries, paired with strong-tasting coffee drinks like Kopi Saloma Buttercream and Pandan Cream Latte. Staff are consistently praised as friendly and attentive, and the cosy ambiance suits a leisurely meal or brunch. However, consistency falters: rice can taste dry, certain proteins disappoint (dry chicken, tiny prawns), and kitchen delays happen (items run out after 30 minutes). The space fills quickly after noon, and recent diners noted trapped water in sinks and floor cleanliness needs attention. Arrive early for a calmer experience.
