What recent reviews say

The chocolate desserts and crepes draw consistent praise for taste and balance, with staff willing to personalise orders for occasions. However, reviewers flag pricing as high relative to portions, sweetness levels that sometimes overwhelm, and lack of complimentary water as friction points. Recent visits suggest inconsistency in execution and ventilation remains an ongoing concern.

Recent shift: A dip in consistency over the past year: earlier five-star reviews praised balanced sweetness and quality; recent one and two-star reviews cite overpricing, excessive sweetness, and execution issues (undercooked lava cake, portion complaints). Ventilation and water-charging policies remain friction points.

Soylab delivers reliable soy-based desserts and pancakes in a clean, spacious setting, but equipment failures and communication gaps leave some customers frustrated. The soufflé and tau fu fah draw repeat visits when available; soy soft serve is a standout. Staff friendliness and clean premises earn consistent praise, though inconsistent topping portions and overly sweet condiment pairings occasionally undercut the experience.

Staff like Dardar earn repeated praise for attentiveness and warmth. The dark green and wood-toned interior, comfortable sofas, and small lamps draw people back for coffee, cakes, and Asian-Western fusion dishes. Strawberry cake is the standout. One visitor's order vanished from the menu mid-meal with no warning or alternative, a sour note on otherwise excellent service.
