What recent reviews say

The owner's hands-on cooking and attention to quality shines through every review. Diners return for signature dishes (nasi lemak, yam cake, carrot cake), cakes that skip excess sugar, and health drinks customers say deliver visible results. The boss and staff earn consistent praise for warmth and helpfulness, and catering for school events and small gatherings comes at reasonable rates.

Food quality pairs with a welcoming vibe and personal service. The owner's passion for cooking and health-conscious prep work set this cafe apart from chain-friendly competitors in the specialty coffee category, though the menu spans well beyond espresso.

Simply by DaYork (The Roast Pork Place)

4.5(156)✓ Verified

The roast pork lives up to the name: crispy skin and tender meat draw regulars back, paired with inventive noodle dishes and house-made sauces. Staff and owner earn consistent praise for friendliness, though drink quality and table service need tightening. The small space above Wah Chan jewellery has become a calm lunch spot, especially weekdays, with a lounge-music backdrop that suits solo visitors and small groups alike. Payment is cashless (cards or DuitNow QR), portions generous, and the vibe intentionally low-key. A few reviewers found the roast pork overseasoned or the lemon tea stale, but these are outliers among overwhelmingly strong feedback on food execution and atmosphere.

Dou Remy by Wizards

4.5(21)✓ Verified

Dou Remy draws regulars for its calm interior, good coffee brewed on premium equipment, and fusion dishes that balance Thai and Italian styles. Pastries shine when warm from the oven but texture varies; some find portions tight against the bill, though most praise the staff's attentiveness and the space as ideal for quiet work or coffee.
