Common questions

Are the desserts too sweet?
Mixed reports. Older reviews praise balanced, not-too-sweet items like the lava cake and crepes. Recent reviews cite excessive sweetness across hot chocolate, crepes, and ice cream, though this may reflect batch variation or ingredient changes.
Is there free water?
No. The cafe charges RM5.90 for 500ml bottled mineral water. Complimentary water is not offered.
Do they customize cakes for birthdays?
Yes. Staff have added personalized wording and candles for celebrations, with attention to handwriting details.

Soylab draws crowds for its soy-focused menu: fluffy soufflé pancakes, silky tau fu fah, and smooth soy soft serve are the standouts. The clean, spacious setting and high-quality soy products keep regulars coming back. Equipment failures (broken soufflé machines, unavailable waffles) and failure to warn customers upfront remain friction points, though when items are available, the experience is solid.

Regulars praise the warm, relaxed ambience and quality baked goods, particularly the basque cheesecake. Staff like Dardar earn specific mention for genuine hospitality. Food arrives slowly during busy times, and popular items sell out quickly.
