What recent reviews say

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 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.

The Coffee wins over visitors with specialty drinks (strawberry matcha, chai, iced lattes) that hit the mark and baristas who remember names and offer free samples. The space is clean, relaxed, and works equally well for board game meetups, work sessions, or solo downtime, though the location is best known among PJ locals already familiar with JAM.

Kings Hall Cafe @ Sec 13

4.3(501)✓ Verified

Kings Hall earns consistent praise for its iced mocha and specialty coffee, bright airy space with natural light, and thoughtful desserts like banana loaf and Kahlua Tiramisu cake. The venue's music-industry heritage adds character that regulars value. Service varies: most encounters are warm and attentive, though a few visitors report rudeness or inattention when staff are busy. Parking is available but occasionally disputed with the landlord.
