Eugene and the barista team brew consistently excellent specialty coffee, with latte art and flavour depth that reviewers return for repeatedly. The space is quiet and unhurried, nestled inside Meraki Studio with soft light and literary charm, making it a natural fit for focused work or reading. Staff know their beans and welcome visitors to sample and explore options. A few reviewers note the seating is tight and one found the menu simple rather than adventurous, but the calm vibe and reliable quality hold strong appeal.
Charging points sit near most tables, pastries like shiopan and croissants arrive fresh, and the goldfish aquarium at the bar adds unexpected warmth. Best visited when you have time to settle in rather than rush through. The cafe shares its unit with an interior design office, which shapes the thoughtful, gallery-like feel throughout.
Long-time patrons praise La Manila for its nostalgic pies, cakes, and Malaysian comfort food at fair prices, backed by friendly staff and a relaxed, homely setting. However, recent reviews flag a sharp quality decline, with multiple complaints about burnt crusts, overly sweet cakes, and slow food delivery since the business changed hands and relocated to Sunway Mas.
District 13 stands out for polished plating, strong pork-based dishes, and friendly service when conditions align. The menu blends Asian comfort foods and Western plates with notable hits like wagyu and char siew bowls, though consistency varies dish to dish. Single chef in kitchen and tight seating create friction during busier times; one-off staff rudeness aside, most interactions run warm.
Tealive Aman Suria serves tea and coffee drinks at modest prices, with some customers praising the bubble tea and latte when prepared well and noting quick service. However, reviews are split: staff professionalism is a major pain point, with customers reporting rudeness, disrespect, and poor service attitudes; drink consistency is unreliable; and cleanliness and amenities (toilets, parking) fall short of expectations.
