What do recent reviews say?

Aki's Kohi Cafe draws consistent praise for its carefully made specialty coffees, from dark roasts to creative options like rose lattes and passion fruit versions. The Japanese-inspired interior and calm vibe appeal to those seeking a peaceful spot; staff remember to refill water and treat regulars warmly, and the tofu cheesecake and croissants stand out among the pastry menu.

Recent visits highlight how the small venue's intimate size is both its charm and a limitation: seating is tight, and it sits in a condo in Cheras rather than a high-traffic area. Reviewers consistently note quality over flash, with one German visitor singling out oat milk options and the owner's hospitality. All recent reviews rate it four or five stars.

Both reviewers praise the welcoming staff and relaxed vibe. The latte, curry puff, and overall ambience draw them back; evidence is limited to two five-star reviews.

Newer five-star reviews praise Sofia and quick, friendly service with solid drinks. Older one-star reviews report a persistent AC breakdown, long waits for single drinks, and staff who appear disengaged or dismissive, suggesting recent staffing or management shifts have improved day-to-day experience. Service quality now hinges on who is working: some customers encounter warm, attentive baristas who get orders ready quickly, while others describe frustrated staff who avoid eye contact and take extended breaks. The air conditioning issue, reported repeatedly over two months, has not been resolved.
