What recent reviews say

Commons Cafe serves affordable Malaysian and Chinese brunch and lunch near Eastin Hotel, staying open until 8 pm when competitors close. Reviewers praise the food value and convenience, but service is uneven, orders sometimes go wrong, and the space feels stuffy with weak ventilation.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Grafa Cafe & Restaurant

Most reviewers praise the specialty coffee, food variety, and atmosphere, with many returning for nostalgia or recommending it to groups. However, recent visits reveal inconsistent kitchen output: frozen-tasting proteins, heavily oiled fried items, and a rat sighting raised serious hygiene concerns. Service slows noticeably when busy, and taste often fails to match the polished plating.

Fade by sb cafe

4.9(259)✓ Verified

Fade by SB reopened in a larger, airier space near Lorong Universiti and immediately drew steady crowds. Reviewers praise the coffee (beans from The Hub roastery, mellow and rich), signature cakes like banana and chocolate variants, and the yogurt slice-all paired with warm hospitality. Expect packed afternoons and queues, though staff move quickly; one visitor waited 35 minutes for a pastry order during a rush, which tempered their otherwise positive experience.

Good Blue Men

4.3(1506)✓ Verified

Staff treat most guests warmly and food quality justifies the modest prices, with fusion pastas and chicken chop earning repeated praise. The hidden spot below an apartment block feels intimate to fans, though inconsistent service, cramped seating, and aggressive AC leave some reviewers frustrated.
