What recent reviews say

Good service from standout staff like Tajul, Santosh, Shiqa, and Wani, who greet warmly and handle orders with care. Yet the outlet struggles with inconsistency: long queues, forgotten drink specs, slow communication when equipment fails, and staff who miss customers waiting in line. Afternoon heat and a sometimes stuffy interior add friction to the experience.

Many reviewers note quality has slipped-coffee tastes diluted, cakes shrink, and order accuracy wavers. The app ordering doesn't notify staff reliably. Still, visitors who encounter attentive crew members walk away genuinely pleased; the problem is that good experiences feel scattered rather than the norm.

Praised for
  • Individual staff warmth and attentiveness
  • Friendly, patient customer service from named baristas
  • Welcoming atmosphere when service is on
Watch-outs
  • Long wait times and slow service
  • Inconsistent drink quality and missing components
  • Staff inattentiveness and lack of greeting at counter
  • Poor app usability for orders

Best for: Customers visiting at quieter times, or those who value friendly staff interactions over speed.
Think twice if: Those needing quick service or reliable drink consistency should visit during off-peak; afternoon heat and crowding can make the space uncomfortable.

Strengths

  • Several standout staff members known for warmth and care
  • Cosy layout suitable for sitting
  • Full drink and food menu

Worth knowing

  • Named staff praised: Tajul (barista, warmth and service detail), Santosh (attentiveness and engagement with customers), Shiqa (cashier, patience with app training), Wani (customer understanding and handling)
  • Coffee machine has failed mid-service with inadequate signage or customer notice
  • App ordering system does not reliably alert staff to incoming orders
  • Drink preparation inconsistencies: missing specs, vanilla added after the fact and shaken by customer rather than remade
  • Cake portions reported as smaller and thinner over time

Common questions

Is this location good for working or studying?
The outlet has a cosy layout and is quiet during off-peak hours, making it suitable for focus work. However, afternoon heat can make the space stuffy, and busy times bring crowding.
What if I order through the app?
Staff do not always see app orders; you may need to tell them in person to confirm your order is being prepared.

Honzu draws mixed reactions for its croissant selection and affordable prices, though consistency divides reviewers. Staff warmth and power outlets appeal to those lingering over coffee, but croissants are hit-or-miss: some praise their flavor and lightness, others find them tough or stale, especially when served unheated.

Consistently praised for expertly brewed specialty coffee and premium matcha, WPS draws a loyal crowd of coffee enthusiasts who return for the cosy, calming vibe and genuinely friendly staff. Homemade cookies and pastries pair well with drinks, though the lack of dedicated WiFi is a real drawback for remote workers relying on public networks that demand login credentials.
