Staff attitude swings wildly here: some days you get genuine warmth and swift service, others cold indifference or outright rudeness. Pastries, salmon croissants, and chicken sandwiches draw regular praise, but coffee consistency stumbles-lattes range from thin to over-extracted depending on the day. The space fills quickly and feels cramped; tables often need cleaning before customers sit. Prices stay fair for mall food, and the cozy interior works well on slow afternoons. Strength lies in baked goods and simple hot meals. Visit when you're not in a rush, and give the croissants priority over specialty drinks.

Gigi Coffee earns strong praise for its buttercream latte and caramel macchiato, which reviewers return for repeatedly. Several customers highlight fast service and friendly baristas. However, quality control varies across locations: one reviewer received an incomplete order at IPC after pre-ordering through the app, while another complained of excessive foam and poor coffee. Service can falter during busy periods; at least one customer left unserved after waiting at the counter.

Coffee and croissants earn consistent praise, and staff hiring practices deserve credit for including deaf and mute employees. But reviews split sharply on service: multiple customers report rude or dismissive behavior from cashiers and baristas, while others praise speed during quiet hours. Long weekend waits and prices around RM25+ for a meal draw complaint, though portions are generous.
