What recent reviews say

Polo buns are the draw here: reviewers rave about their soft interior and crisp exterior, especially versions filled with taro or luncheon meat. The space stays clean, staff are quick to adjust things (air conditioning, order corrections), and the brunch menu spans rice dishes, noodles, and egg tarts at moderate prices that most find fair.

Beyond the buns, results are uneven. Pork chop mains and soups come thin or watery; taro fillings sometimes feel heavy, and experimental items don't always connect. The milk tea is strong, the homemade salted lime drink hits, and the space fills steadily with a loyal crowd, especially online orders.

Praised for
  • signature polo and pineapple buns are soft and crispy
  • clean, comfortable environment
  • staff attentive and responsive to customer needs
  • wide menu variety with reasonable prices
Watch-outs
  • some savoury dishes (pork chop, noodle soup) lack depth and seasoning
  • inconsistent new items or experimental flavours don't always land
  • coffee could be stronger

Best for: People seeking polished brunch buns and Hong Kong comfort food in a tidy, unhurried space.
Think twice if: Savoury mains (pork chop, soup-based noodles) are less reliable than the baked goods; don't expect fine seasoning depth there.

Strengths

  • signature soft polo buns with varying fillings (taro, luncheon meat)
  • clean, well-kept space with attentive staff
  • wide brunch and noodle menu at moderate prices
  • homemade drinks including salted lime

Worth knowing

  • Polo bun (standard), taro butter polo bun, luncheon meat polo bun, pineapple bun, and black truffle fried rice appear as signature or seasonal items
  • staff note and adjust for customer comfort (e.g., repositioning air coolers)
  • high volume of online delivery orders
  • previously operated at Uptown location

Polo and pineapple buns excel; savoury rice and noodle dishes are competent but sometimes lack seasoning depth.

Common questions

What should I order?
The polo bun is the signature item. Reviewers recommend the taro butter or luncheon meat versions, pineapple bun, egg tarts, and the house-made salted lime drink. Savoury mains (pork chop, noodle soup) are acceptable but less consistent.
Is it crowded?
Busy with a steady flow, especially online delivery riders. Visiting on a weekday late lunch is quieter. The space itself stays clean and comfortable even when full.

Most visits land well: diners praise authentic wood-fired pizza with generous toppings and the friendly staff who remember regulars. The pizza dough is crisp with charred edges, and signatures like the Prosciutto (24-month ham) or Mala Piggy keep people coming back. Kitchen work is consistent. Service quality dips during dinner rushes and varies by who's on shift; a few flagged sticky tables and slow refills when packed. Grab orders sometimes arrive with smaller portions than dine-in. Prices sit above casual pizza spots but track with quality and setting. The small live music room and karaoke projector hiccups are minor trade-offs in a cosy neighbourhood spot.

Reviewers consistently highlight the homemade cakes, especially Basque burnt cheesecake, pistachio, and tiramisu, paired with decent specialty coffee. The family runs a cozy, personable space with Asian-Western fusion dishes, hearty portions, and weekend-only specials like chicken and prawn noodle soup. Sockets and charging cables on tables suit laptop work. A few note alcohol isn't always noticeable in spiked cakes, and some mains fall short.

Cafe Bandit wins regulars with big helpings of well-executed food and a relaxed vibe that works for both solo laptops and group brunches. Service runs hot and cold: some staff shine with genuine warmth, but a few cashier moments fall flat, and the kitchen can slow during busy lunch rushes. The space feels compact yet comfortable, though aircon struggles on warm days. Pastries and pasta both land well, portions genuinely two-person-friendly, and the free hot lemonade is a nice touch. Prices sit around RM63 for two mains, brunch specials draw steady crowds, and the place reads Instagram-ready without trying too hard.
