What recent reviews say

BaD Scones delivers the scones enthusiasts seek: consistently praised for melt-in-mouth texture and cream quality, with staff remembered as genuinely kind and attentive. The English tea-room setting and homemade feel draw repeat visits, though reheating occasionally dries them out and parking on the Damansara Utama strip is tight.

Location and tea pairing anchor the experience. Customers find Victoria sandwich cake excellent value, appreciate the vintage cutlery and no-plastic policy, and value the quiet workspace. Service shines in most accounts, though one reviewer noted inattentiveness and defensiveness when scone quality was raised.

Best for: tea and scone enthusiasts wanting a quiet English-style spot; friends and families celebrating milestones or bonding
Think twice if: limited parking on the main road strip; reheated scones can lose softness; inconsistent service recovery if quality issues arise

Strengths

  • House-made scones with quality clotted cream and jams
  • English vintage ambiance with no-plastic tableware
  • Reasonable pricing for quality handmade pastries
  • Attentive staff known for genuine warmth

Worth knowing

  • Staff guided customer to KLGCC location when Damansara Utama store was closed, then offered a sample scone out of kindness
  • Owner occasionally present but did not greet single customer; one reviewer noted poor response when scone dryness was mentioned
  • Reheating scones in oven for 8 minutes noted as source of drying; displayed scones may sit before service
  • Vintage cutlery collection used for all service; no plastic utensils
  • Parking available on weekends; main road parking needed during busier periods

Croffle and coconut drinks are the draw here, and when they land right, reviewers rave. The space is quiet and clean, and the owner hires people with disabilities. But service clarity stumbles repeatedly: staff forget to mention promotions, won't explain payment rules or coupon policies, and sometimes seem indifferent to customers. Glove hygiene during food prep concerned one reviewer, and ventilation smells strong. Many feel the RM 20 sets and premium pricing do not match small portions or consistency. Coffee is solid when it arrives. A bring-your-own-cup discount (around RM 3) helps offset the cost. The back seating has no power outlets. This place works best for a quiet solo visit or a casual meetup, but it asks patience with staff and a willingness to pay more than similar cafes nearby.

The cold brew is silky and nuanced, and the barista (notably Voon Chun) takes time to explain beans and tailor drinks to your taste, even when stock runs low. The space feels intimate and Korean-inspired, with cushioned seating and decorative touches, though one chair design doesn't work. Prices sit well below typical specialty cafe rates for this quality. Reviewers return consistently for the coffee calibre and the barista's genuine enthusiasm. Service is personal in a one-person operation that never feels rushed. Expect no wifi, and the cake selection rotates seasonally.

Aftermeal is known for its fine shaved ice desserts with balanced sweetness and thoughtful toppings that draw repeat visitors. Quality consistency has wavered in recent years, with some signature items losing their original appeal, and occasional gaps in staff menu knowledge or service can dent the experience.
