What recent reviews say

Regulars praise the cosy setting, creamy pasta dishes, and coffee quality; staff remember orders and stay friendly under pressure. Menu instability and recent reformulations frustrate loyal customers-portions shrink while prices rise, and items advertised online often run out.

Recent shift: Menu contracted in the past few months with popular items removed (pork chop salad, specific coffee beans); recipes changed on returning items (salmon alfredo pasta sauce reformulated, egg removed); price increases observed on delivery platform.

Praised for
  • creamy, flavorful pasta and mains
  • cosy, relaxing atmosphere
  • friendly, attentive staff
  • good coffee and hand-brew options
  • strong desserts (benedict, tiramisu, hot chocolate)
Watch-outs
  • recipe changes and discontinued items
  • limited flexibility on custom requests
  • availability issues with advertised menu items
  • portion size unchanged despite price increase

Origin Cafe

Reviewers return for the lemon noodles, fried chicken, and salads packed with fresh greens at prices under RM20. The menu spans local and Western dishes, appealing to breakfast and dinner crowds. However, service is uneven: some praise quick delivery and friendly staff, while others report 45-minute waits, ignored orders, and staff who avoid customer attention. Table clearing and coordination at peak times need work. The cafe stays open until 10pm in Taman Mayang, making it a casual neighbourhood spot. No service charge means prices on the menu stick. Regulars note a recent price jump (RM12.90 to RM16) without portion change, and the phone number listed reaches the owner, not the restaurant floor.

Strong 4.7 rating across 29 reviews reflects consistent praise for fresh pastries, savoury nyonya dishes, and competitive pricing. The business doubles as a baking training hub for single mothers, which reviewers actively support; staff stay friendly even when handling new operations.

Noon Viennoiserie Cafe

Noon Viennoiserie draws steady praise for freshly baked croissants and pastries, with coffee and plating that appeal to the Instagram crowd. However, recent visits reveal inconsistency: staff struggle to take orders correctly, baked goods sometimes fall flat, savory mains taste bland or off, and loyal customers report quality dropping notably. The cafe retains its aesthetic charm but execution has slipped.
