What recent reviews say

Waffles and coffee form the heart of what reviewers keep coming back for. The waffle menu impresses with texture and balance, from crispy exteriors paired with rich toppings like tiramisu and mochi to simpler versions that let quality butter shine through. Staff greet regulars warmly and respond to requests; the location overlooking Lagoon Park adds to an unhurried, social atmosphere. A few note the air con runs warm and some savory items skew salty or oily, but these rarely deter repeat visits.

The cafe pitches itself as a brunch and dessert spot in Sunway Pyramid, backed by coffee that holds its own against waffles. Portions are generous enough to share. Prices land on the reasonable side for the area. Service speed stays brisk even when full, though peak hours can get lively and crowded.

Common questions

Are the waffles better with toppings or plain?
Both work well. Reviewers praise the simpler versions for letting the quality butter shine, and complex toppings like tiramisu for balance without being too heavy. Try the plain version on a first visit to appreciate the base quality.
Is it good for a group visit?
Yes. Staff handle larger parties efficiently, and generous portions are easy to share. The corner tables have good park views. Book ahead on weekends as it gets busy and noisy during peak hours.
What about the savory food?
Pastas and waffles with fried chicken are offered, but reviews are less consistent than for desserts. Some note dishes can be oversalted or oily. Stick to waffles and coffee if you want fewer surprises.

Staff members like Zaim, Zayne, and Yaziq consistently earn shout-outs for patience, warmth, and care in preparing drinks. The branch handles weekend crowds professionally and keeps orders moving fast. Iced Oat Lattes and signature drinks draw repeat visits, though one reviewer found the menu overly sweet and flavours too similar. The mall location suits quick pickups between shopping, though the store itself can feel cramped during busy hours.

Staff performance swings sharply at this Sunway Pyramid outlet. Regulars praise specific team members (Nazirah, Rafiq, Ruz, Azua) for warmth and professionalism, and the cafe draws customers for its drinks, cakes, and unhurried vibe. However, recent visits reveal inconsistency: some cashiers come across as dismissive, tables sit dirty between services, and cold drinks arrive already melted. Takeaway packing is sometimes careless. The branch has improved since opening but feels like it needs tighter standards across all shifts.

Staff recognition makes a real difference here: multiple reviewers name Jie and Elva by name, and praise their friendliness and attentiveness even when the restaurant is packed. The pho broth is rich, portions are generous, and the option to choose rice weight reduces waste-key details that keep people coming back.
