Locals have returned for over a decade for the kopitiam breakfasts and homemade buns, pricing well below what you'd pay elsewhere. The roti bakar bulat, curry laksa, and coconut buns appear frequently in praise. Staff slip-ups on drink orders and food preparation do surface; during rush hours, waits can stretch past an hour and parking fills up fast. The lack of HALAL JAKIM certification matters to some Muslim customers despite halal-friendly positioning.
Service pacing and order accuracy need tightening, yet the core food and value keep regulars coming back. Dine in when you can secure parking, or take away if you know your usual order.
Staff warmth and reasonable pricing draw regulars here, though the experience hinges on which dishes you order. Signature items like Hainanese chicken, French toast, and cendol deliver; other curries and fried noodles can miss the mark. The retro decor and dual seating zones suit a relaxed meal.
Most visits deliver solid comfort food, good coffee, and a laid-back ambience that works for lingering. Beef carbonara and chicken chop draw repeat customers. Watch for unavailable menu items, occasional slow service, and rare but memorable staff rudeness that has put people off entirely.
Diners consistently praise the owner and staff, who bring authentic Hong Kong flavours to a small, thoughtfully decorated space. Made-to-order soufflés draw repeat visits, and the rescued resident cat Pineapple Bun is a genuine draw. The cafe targets groups and cat lovers: cat-themed decor extends to plates and merchandise, curry fish ball soup and polo buns are standout orders, and portions are generous. Muslim-friendly prep (no pork or lard) opens the doors wider.
