What recent reviews say

The 4.7-star rating masks a stark divide: most days feel like a neighbourhood gem with good coffee, honest pastries, and warm staff who remember orders. Yet one-star reviewers hit the same problems repeatedly: a 30-minute wait for toast that costs RM26, drinks remade twice and still tasting watered down, and at least one customer spotting a cockroach during their meal. The kitchen seems inconsistent, and pricing doesn't match speed or portion reality for some.

Service swings wildly depending on who's behind the counter. Some mention "sweetest staff" and baristas doing latte art; others describe a foreign waitress with no smile and minimal warmth. Food quality varies too: wagyu and sourdough land five stars, while the same establishment's matcha and seasoning-free pasta disappoint others paying RM17 to RM47 per item.

Thosai Cafe

4.4(635)✓ Verified

Most visits land well: diners praise the masala tea (balanced, creamy, cardamom-forward), the creative thosai varieties (palak ghee, cheese, open fry), and staff warmth, especially a regular named Jeevaa. The kitchen struggles with consistency. Fillings pile heavy with onions or cabbage without warning; chutneys arrive cold; a 45-minute wait prompted cancellations while later arrivals got served faster. Paper serving (not plates) troubled one regular. Yet repeat customers keep coming back, drawn by genuinely good flavour and staff who listen to feedback. The core appeal is the thosai itself: flavourful, fresh, and different from typical spots. Most find that worth the current pace and occasional stumble. Budget accordingly-reviewers note it skews pricier than standard thosai places.

J.CO Donuts & Coffee @ The Curve

3.6(184)

J.CO offers a wide donut range with quality coffee at competitive prices, and some staff like Ashikin and Zulaikha earn genuine praise for warmth and attention. However, the branch is let down by erratic service: reviewers report staff ignoring customers, playing on phones, and dismissing walk-in requests, alongside recent complaints that donuts lack the softness and freshness they expect from the brand. The location is pleasant and quiet, but inconsistency is the core issue. Donut texture varies noticeably between visits (reviewers describe them as hard, dry, or not fluffy as promised), and a few mention food that caused illness. Cash payments were reportedly refused on at least one date. Product quality matters most for a donuts-and-coffee business, and these lapses erode trust despite the appealing menu and occasional standout staff moments.
