Reviewers return for bread that stands apart: soft brioche, English muffins, and handmade salt varieties paired with in-house basil butter. Staff greet warmly and food arrives quickly. Coffee quality is good but the menu lacks flat whites and cappuccinos.
Parking is the main friction point - spots fill fast and visibility from the street is poor. Pricing on buns (RM9.90 for three) feels high to some, though others support the business anyway. The converted house design feels intentional and minimalist rather than fancy.
The burnt cheesecake here stands out for its creamy texture and balanced char, with flavors like hojicha and chocolate keeping regulars returning. The space feels like a friend's living room with vintage furnishings and thoughtful music, though tight parking and a tucked-away entrance mean you need to know where you're going.
Coffee and pastry quality draw steady traffic, with reviewers consistently praising fruity, aromatic blends and flaky croissants, especially the signature shio pan. The space feels calm and welcoming, though some find pastries lean dry and pricing steep for a PJ Old Town location; ordering can be unclear for first-timers. Staff deliver the basics well, and AC keeps the space comfortable. Parking is genuinely available midweek, a rarity locally. Brunch items like sausage rolls and overnight oats appeal to families, but inconsistency in bread quality and perceived value gaps hold it back from unanimous endorsement.
Tingkap draws crowds for its authentic retro kampung vibe and reliable satay, roti jala, and traditional kuih at fair prices. Food quality swings noticeably-comfort dishes like nasi kunyit rendang and kuih win praise, while some curries and rice plates disappoint on flavour. Queues run 20-30 minutes at peak times, popular items vanish by 11.30am, and toilet cleanliness issues have frustrated visitors. Staff friendliness varies.
