Half the reviewers praise the cafe's calm, bright space and reliable service from the owners and staff, with Japanese curry and pan-seared chicken standouts. However, food consistency is unreliable: sauces run too sweet, drinks arrive diluted, pasta is underseasoned, and some report stained cutlery. Prices often feel steep for the quality, though the upstairs work zone with fast wifi attracts regular laptop users.
Dough! draws crowds for house-made sourdough, specialty coffee, and hearty pasta dishes that balance Continental flair with local flavour. The outdoor space suits family gatherings and leisurely meals, though server warmth varies and prices sit above casual-cafe norms.
Good coffee and food draw regulars to this cozy Section 17 spot, but service feels uneven. Some staff shine; others turn dismissive or impatient, especially during lunch rush. The real friction point: laptop workers and solo customers occupy larger tables while walk-in diners leave empty-handed, and staff do little to manage it.
Tanah dan Air is a deliberately designed teahouse that rewards those seeking quiet reflection over speed. The space draws on Chinese tea culture with handcrafted furnishings, minimalist decor, and a shoe-off entry that anchors a home-like feel. Tea quality and presentation shine, with staff who know their craft and care about the experience, though service can lag when one person manages the room. Regulars praise the atmosphere and authentic teas, particularly osmanthus varieties and pu-erh brews. Prices match premium quality, and ordering requires individual items per person. This is not a grab-and-go spot, and weekday visits reward you with the serene pace the concept intends.
