What recent reviews say

Roast&Brew draws regulars and adventurous drinkers for its house-roasted, hard-to-find coffee blends and guided omakase tastings. Baristas like Aishah explain the roasting story and flavour profile behind each cup, making the experience feel personal rather than transactional. The main trade-off: tasting sets require patience, and the food menu is slim.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Matcha and specialty tea enthusiasts find genuine appeal here, particularly in quieter moments or during dedicated tasting experiences like the Matcha Journey. The dual-space concept (tea garden before 4pm, curated Gato dining after) attracts both casual drinkers seeking escape and dinner groups drawn to the thoughtful presentation and unique cocktails like the Oolong Peach Highball. Tiramisu stands out consistently. The catch: matcha quality swings between "tastes like Japan" and disappointingly flat, pricing sits above similar offerings, noise can overwhelm, and service tone is uneven. Tables sit close enough to hear neighbours' conversations. Better as a planned visit than a quick stop.

Regulars praise the coffee quality, industrial-chic ambiance, and thoughtful work setup with power outlets at every table, which attracts remote workers comfortably. Staff like Xander, Shewa, and Kai earn consistent mentions for warmth, though dishes vary: tamago sandos and aglio olio pastas land well, but heavier pastas and some preparations miss the mark. The venue embraces Muslim-friendly sourcing despite no formal halal cert, making it accessible to more diners.

The space draws regulars for its calm, bright setting and quick service on food. Coffee and pastries hit the mark most days, and the kitchen turns meals out fast. Pricing swings hard between Empire and Sunway Pyramid outlets, and staff handling of policies like live streaming or outside cakes has soured a handful of visits. Still, weddings and group gatherings get praise for warmth and attentiveness. Nasi lemak, mushroom sandwich, and sourdough earn repeat mentions. The place works for quiet catchups or events. Watch for price jumps on add-ons like avocado, and don't assume policies are customer-friendly without asking first.
