What recent reviews say
Dreamz Bakery pulls crowds for its intricate, lightly sweetened cakes that double as Instagram material. The Strawberry Shortcake, crepe cakes, and Century Strawberry Princess Cake earn repeated visits. Staff greet warmly, and the compact space feels intentionally intimate.
Savoury dishes are a gamble: teriyaki chicken and carbonara can hit, but shrimp pasta tastes frozen and sambal chicken rice missed the mark for one reviewer. Coffee at RM13 struck another as underwhelming for the price. Prices overall run steep, and the 7pm close means no dinner service. A long-standing place where dessert is the draw, not the sides.

The Black Basket Cafe
4.7(347)✓ Verified
Black Basket Cafe draws steady praise for its dim, relaxed vibe and well-executed pastries, coffee, and pasta in a spacious location at Strand Mall. Customers highlight fresh-baked items, a skilled barista, and warm service. Weak spots emerge: morning arrivals hit patchy hot meal availability despite a big breakfast menu, some pasta dishes disappoint (overcooked chicken reported), and at least one customer faced silent price bumps at the till despite friendly atmospherics overall. Staff named include barista expertise and Yvon's noted attention to group bookings. Pricing sits mid-range for the category (RM22-RM35 meal bundles). The space suits laptop work with WiFi, though charging is limited. Despite occasional execution slip-ups, the 84% five-star rating and strong repeat-customer base signal a welcoming neighbourhood spot.

Heyday Cafe
4.7(290)✓ Verified
Heyday pulls in repeat customers for its specialty coffee and thoughtful brunch in a quiet, design-conscious space. Staff stay warm, portions are generous, and one regular has kept coming back for two years straight because the quality never slips. The catch is price: several reviewers note it costs more, though most feel the food and experience justify it. The menu balances meat and vegetarian options, with standouts including the Orange Espresso, glazed chicken don, beef bacon sandwich, mentai fries, and chicken curry rice. Their website lists catering and private events as services, positioning them for celebrations. One slow-service note crops up, but it is isolated among dozens of praise mentions.
