What recent reviews say

Most visitors praise the pasta, creative menu (Thai crab omelette sandwich, avocado toast), specialty coffee, and calm atmosphere ideal for work. Staff earn consistent mention for warmth and accommodation. However, a small cohort reports frustratingly slow service, bland dishes, and inattentive staff during busy periods, with one 40-minute wait for a single carbonara.

The space appeals to laptop workers seeking focus, groups on social outings, and pet owners using the outdoor area. Pricing feels reasonable to most, though inconsistency in food quality and service during peak times remains a real risk for first-time visitors.

Neighbours Coffee @The Hub SS2

4.4(329)✓ Verified

Neighbours Coffee draws regulars for its fluffy soufflé pancakes and modern, plant-filled space tucked inside The Hub SS2 mall. Coffee quality is reliably strong, and brunch portions suit light to moderate appetites. Service varies noticeably. Some staff remain attentive through long stays; others leave drinks unattended or dismiss orders. Outdoor seating is reportedly uncomfortable, and pancake wait times occasionally hit 40 minutes. Desserts are the draw, though not every item lands consistently.

Dujour Café & Dujour Dining

3.8(444)✓ Verified

Dujour draws regulars for its outdoor garden setting, generous breakfast portions, and specialty items like potato millefeuille with pulled BBQ chicken. Food quality swings sharply: some love the fish and chips and pies, others find dishes oversalted, cold, or average for the price. Service is warm but occasionally misses the mark. Located in Seksyen 19 (and formerly SS2), the café offers brunch, pastries, and a wide menu spanning nasi kerabu to french toast. Their website lists catering and customised orders. Quality matters here, so visit on a good day and ask staff for current highlights.

Since opening in 2014, this spot has become a go-to for families and friends seeking reliable food and strong coffee in a calm, welcoming setting. Staff greet you warmly and stay attentive even when busy; pet owners appreciate the dog-friendly setup with adoption dogs present. The kitchen handles crepes, roast chicken, burgers, and breakfast well, though portions and prices invite debate. Peak-hour waits are real, and parking fills fast, so booking ahead helps. Coffee is described as rich, and many return over years, but desserts sometimes disappoint and menu items can feel pricey for portion size.
