What recent reviews say

Food quality is strong and consistent, with genuine Nyonya kueh and standout items like yam cake earning frequent praise. Staff stay attentive and welcoming, though occasional prep issues (icy cendol, sparse santan) and the venue's distance from public transit are minor frictions.

De Irrfan S’ Cafe

2.1(107)✓ Google-verified

Staff rudeness dominates complaints, with customers describing cashiers who argue about mistakes, ignore waiting patrons, and speak disrespectfully. Several reviewers felt hurried or skipped in queues, and multiple staff are called out by name for poor attitudes. Food gets mixed marks, ranging from decent to spoiled. A few loyal patrons praise the taste and cleanliness, but slowness for a mamak outlet frustrates those in a hurry. Prices are occasionally seen as steep for the category, though one reviewer appreciated value.

Consistently praised for expertly brewed specialty coffee and premium matcha, WPS draws a loyal crowd of coffee enthusiasts who return for the cosy, calming vibe and genuinely friendly staff. Homemade cookies and pastries pair well with drinks, though the lack of dedicated WiFi is a real drawback for remote workers relying on public networks that demand login credentials.

Ante delivers consistent, well-prepared food with particularly strong carbonara and pork dishes in a welcoming atmosphere. Staff are attentive without hovering, music complements the dining experience, and reviewers return eager to recommend.
