Most visitors praise the friendly service, cleanliness, and local Nyonya snacks at reasonable prices.

De Irrfan S’ Cafe

2.1(102)✓ Verified

Staff rudeness dominates complaints across the past year: multiple reviewers report being spoken to disrespectfully, rushed through meals, and witnessing queue-jumping. The few positive voices praise the food itself as tasty and note the shop is clean, but these are drowned out by consistent frustration over service speed, attitude, and arbitrary policy changes. When diners do eat here, chicken and fried dishes receive specific praise. The core issue is not the menu but the interaction: staff appear to resent customers, rush them despite paid seating, and enforce refund and loyalty-point policies with aggression rather than courtesy.

W.P.S (wood people social)@ One Utama Shopping Center

4.9(1455)✓ Verified

W.P.S delivers specialty coffee with care in a deliberately understated space inside One Utama mall. Reviewers highlight the rotating single-origin beans, exceptional matcha, and baristas like Zahid who invest in each order. The light wood interior and genuine quiet make it a rare work-friendly spot within a busy shopping center. Charging points number only three to four across the cafe, so remote workers should check first. Cookies and seasonal drinks (like Gula Melaka lattes) earn consistent praise. Most visit specifically to escape mall crowds without sacrificing coffee quality, and the staff's friendliness anchors the experience.

Ante draws loyal regulars with strong coffee, pasta, and meat dishes served by staff who make guests feel at home. The space feels welcoming, service is consistent, and the menu spans tea time specials to carbonara and rib eye, keeping people coming back week after week. Recent reviewers praise the relaxed vibe and quick attention. Food quality and portion sizes stand out enough to prompt repeat visits. No notable complaints surface in current feedback.
