What recent reviews say

Most reviewers praise the Dirty Dream Latte and the innovative two-layer insulated cup that keeps iced coffee from diluting. Staff earn consistent mention for warmth and attentiveness. The cafe's quiet vibe suits remote workers, though a few note the space is tight and outlets are sparse.

The coffee itself divides opinion: some find the signature drinks exceptional, others find them over-sweetened and overpriced at RM 18.60 per cup. Food arrives inconsistently (cold focaccia reported). A handful of regulars love Christina and the coconut series, but at least one reviewer felt the whole experience didn't justify the cost.

Common questions

Does the coffee stay cold without getting watered down?
Their insulated cup system separates ice in a middle layer so the coffee doesn't dilute as the ice melts, according to reviewers.
Is there somewhere to plug in a laptop?
They have power outlets along the window seating, but space is tight and plugs are limited.
Can I get the coffee without added sweetness?
Order without condensed milk or added sweetness, though some reviewers note the signature drinks come sweetened by default.

Reviewers keep returning for the soufflés (mango and durian varieties praised for texture) and the specialty coffee range, especially Rhododendron. The space suits groups and families well, with a pleasant setting and thoughtful touches like birthday surprises. Staff present coffee and food with care. Portion sizes are moderate and pasta options cater to health-conscious diners, though some find them subtle in flavour. The consistency across visits earns repeat visits and strong word-of-mouth.

Staff rudeness dominates complaints, with customers describing cashiers who argue about mistakes, ignore waiting patrons, and speak disrespectfully. Several reviewers felt hurried or skipped in queues, and multiple staff are called out by name for poor attitudes. Food gets mixed marks, ranging from decent to spoiled. A few loyal patrons praise the taste and cleanliness, but slowness for a mamak outlet frustrates those in a hurry. Prices are occasionally seen as steep for the category, though one reviewer appreciated value.
