What recent reviews say

Most customers return for Rekindle's standout alcohol-infused cakes (tiramisu kahlua, rum-soaked gateau) and strong, non-acidic coffee in a quiet, dimly lit setting. The late-night hours appeal to groups wanting to linger, and staff are typically attentive when service clicks. A few report cakes arriving dry or underbaked, prices climb past RM22 for premium slices, and service lapses happen occasionally - worth checking the mood on arrival.

Baristar holds a solid reputation for value-priced specialty drinks, especially house blend and chai latte, with a loyal crowd from nearby offices. Service speed and friendliness appear genuine when things go smoothly, but multiple reports flag drinks arriving barely warm, inconsistent matcha preparation, and defensive owner responses to complaints that undermine the experience. Parking strain during peak hours and per-item fees for ice and paper carriers have frustrated some. For someone after a quick, affordable coffee grab in Damansara Uptown, this remains a viable spot; those expecting premium consistency or constructive feedback channels should look elsewhere.

Solid breads, pastries, and coffee draw regulars, with generous croissants and pastries priced well for Uptown. Service can shine when things run smooth, but a recurring cashier conflict has left several diners uneasy and questioning whether the experience is worth the tension.

Croffles and coconut-series coffee keep regulars coming back, and the cozy, quiet space appeals to those seeking a calm hangout. Yet staff communication stumbles repeatedly: promotions go unannounced, payment issues are never flagged upfront, and explanations about policies feel dismissive. Food safety lapses (gloves melting onto hot pastries, inconsistent hand hygiene) and ventilation problems undercut the appeal. At 20 ringgit for a set, pricing feels steep for portion and quality consistency.
