Staff warmth and the renovated play area keep families returning, though brunch quality varies. Coffee is reliable and the space feels bright and welcoming, but main dishes sometimes miss the mark with undercooked items, odd flavours (one avocado on toast tasted chemical), or lack of seasoning. Worth visiting for the vibe and service, though food consistency needs work.
Closer Kitchen draws customers for strong coffee, matcha lattes, and thoughtfully plated brunch dishes in a light-filled space. Staff are attentive and group bookings are handled well. Downsides emerge: some dishes arrive oversalted or bland, prices climb above budget cafe norms, and service can falter under demand, with orders occasionally mislaid.
Staff like Aminur and Rasel earn repeated praise for attentive, friendly service. Dishes from tenant stalls (Uncle Lim's char kuey teow, steamed chicken rice, hor fun, nasi lemak) generally satisfy, with cold drinks served in nice metal cups. Recent visits reveal cracks: portions shrink, fried koay teow quality has declined, ordering takes time, and quality slips unpredictably. One customer found a hair in food; another received only boney chicken pieces against menu promises. Carbonated drinks priced at RM4.90 feel steep.
Food quality is hit-and-miss. Chicken fried noodles, bakso, and pasta draw repeat visitors, but portion sizes have shrunk while prices stay high. Wait times stretch to an hour during busy periods, and some dishes disappoint. Off-peak visits and knowing which items to order help.
