What do recent reviews say?

Reviewers consistently praise the coffee quality and barista skill, with several specifically calling out the latte art and carefully chosen single-origin beans. Staff members are named with gratitude, and pastries receive particular mention. The compact interior is acknowledged as a trade-off: aesthetically strong but cramped during busy hours.

Recent visits highlight the TRX location launch and a 12-year anniversary promotion. One recent review flagged unhelpful staff knowledge and parking friction, though this stands alone against overwhelmingly positive recent reports. The bean selection and roast profile earn repeated specific praise for balance and flavour depth.

YbyC Cafe

3.5(30)✓ Google-verified

Coffee and pastries here draw steady praise for quality and presentation. The atmosphere is consistently called cozy and comfortable, especially for hotel guests in Bukit Bintang. Recent reviews highlight patient, friendly staff; older complaints of rudeness have not reappeared in the last year. Pricing remains the main trade-off: reviewers say good quality justifies the cost, but it is not cheap.

In-store customers praise Be Rich for fresh, naturally-sweet coconut shakes without condensed milk and bold add-ons like durian and pandan. Delivery orders tell a different story: multiple reviewers report spoiled products, undersized portions, and significant markups (RM10 in-store versus RM15 on Grab for the same drink).

Diners consistently praise OGA's signature matcha tiramisu and tiramisu range, which blend Japanese tea with premium local ingredients like Musang King durian. The calm, cosy interior and friendly service make it equally appealing for quiet meals, dates, or group gatherings. The Kyoto Tiramisu has earned them Malaysia Book of Records recognition. Staff deliver varied matcha strengths and creative dishes alongside desserts, though recent complaints touch on water charges and inconsistent voucher details. Multiple locations across KL and Selangor offer convenient access for tea and dining experiences.
