What recent reviews say

Reviewers praise Jing Si for a rare combination: genuinely quiet space where focus is the default, with staff treating visitors warmly. The aesthetic draws comparison to a library. The main trade-off is deliberate-no WiFi means less distraction but requires mobile data; a few note staff didn't intervene when customers made phone calls, undermining the calm.

Praised for
  • peaceful, quiet work environment
  • warm, attentive staff
  • aesthetic, serene setting
  • no wifi (mixed: appreciated for focus, resented for connectivity)
Watch-outs
  • no WiFi
  • inconsistent noise management
  • sparse service detail in some reviews

Best for: students and remote workers seeking genuine quiet without the chain-cafe atmosphere
Think twice if: you rely on WiFi; noise management can lapse when staff don't enforce their quiet policy

Strengths

  • genuinely quiet, distraction-free work space
  • attentive, warm staff
  • peaceful aesthetic suited to focus
  • aesthetic appeal for long study sessions

Worth knowing

  • No WiFi-intentional design choice for focus
  • Hot chocolate biscuits and cocoa noted as tasty
  • Staff actively greet and treat guests warmly
  • Soft background music (R&B piano) kept non-intrusive
  • One incident: realtor made constant client calls undisturbed; staff did not intervene

Le Bread Days

4.1(591)

Le Bread Days is known for its flagship salted egg croissant, a buttery, layered pastry with creamy savoury-sweet filling that reviewers call worth revisiting. Daily baked goods, strong coffee, and specialty teas like osmanthus latte draw regulars to the quiet neighbourhood spot. Prices run high and parking is tight; some find lingering food smell and occasional service inconsistency detract from the premium experience.

Extraction-SS2

4.3(465)✓ Verified

Extraction-SS2 consistently delivers strong specialty coffee and substantial brunch plates built on their own sourdough and house-roasted beans. Regulars praise the pork-centric menu, generous portions, and reliable quality, though some find pricing steep relative to ambiance and note occasional gaps between execution and expectations. Staff earn consistent compliments for hospitality. The Japanese-fusion brunch focus and seasonal items (like Earl Grey apple tarts) set it apart. Loose takeaway cup lids and higher markups than peer cafes give pause for budget-conscious diners or those prioritizing Instagram-worthy decor.
