What recent reviews say

Molten Chocolate Cafe trades on excellent chocolate desserts and a polished setting, drawing chocolate lovers back for their lava cakes and crepes. Repeat customers praise the friendly service and cosy ambiance, but loose execution surfaces in slower reviews: items go missing without notice, crepes taste overly sweet, and the no-complimentary-water policy frustrates paying diners. A cockroach incident and a 20-day unanswered complaint email hint at customer service gaps that undercut the premium price.

  • friendly staff and cozy ambiance

Gigi Coffee draws praise for friendly staff, quality specialty drinks, and a warm brand vibe. Regulars love the caramel macchiato and water chestnut signature range; some appreciate personal touches like encouraging messages on cups. However, serious gaps emerge: multiple customers found hair in drinks, staff occasionally wore no hair nets or long earrings while serving, and order accuracy slipped in peak hours. Payment and voucher issues also frustrated users. The Paradigm Mall outlet stands out for taste consistency compared to other branches. Service oscillates between genuinely kind (helping with bags at closing time) and dismissive, leaving mixed experiences even among repeat customers.

Coffee and matcha drinks earn solid marks for flavour and value, with several reviewers naming them standouts in the mall. However, staff rudeness dominates negative feedback. Multiple encounters with unfriendly or dismissive baristas, especially on weekdays, overshadow otherwise decent product. Seating stains and portion sizes draw occasional complaint, but core drink quality keeps some customers coming back despite service frustrations.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf wins steady praise for its staff warmth and occasional quick service, with customers highlighting specific drinks like the Coconut Flat White and pesto pasta. However, frustration runs deep over slow, unpredictable wait times, app pickup times that don't reflect reality, and drinks that arrive incomplete or diluted. Working here becomes a gamble: you might get great service from Razjuan or Hadi, or face 30 minutes for one drink in uncomfortable heat with few power outlets.
