What do recent reviews say?

Staff warmth and a tucked-away quiet vibe draw regulars to Brickfields' Bricks Factory. The owner actively engages diners, recommending from an eclectic menu spanning masala tea, mee goreng, and cappuccino that reviewers praise as standouts. Recent visits confirm the cozy atmosphere and attentive spirit, though one diner flagged rushed service and a missed opportunity to address a coffee issue during a busy shift.

Quality remains consistent across most visits-from good lassi to flavourful breakfasts-and the multicultural menu suits the neighbourhood. Some reviewers note the English breakfast price (18.90 RM) felt steep, and one flagged kitchen execution gaps. Most return because the combination of space, service warmth, and neighbourhood positioning outweighs occasional slip-ups.

Idly and dosa here taste like the real thing, soft and paired with housemade chutneys that nail the heat level. The masala tea and signature almond milk (made with tamarind and nuts) draw repeat visits from locals and travellers alike. Owner and staff earn consistent praise for hospitality and generosity. Prices stay low, and the space in Tun Sambanthan Building feels casual and family-friendly, though without air conditioning it gets warm during peak hours.

W Cafe Menara Shell - KL Sentral

W Cafe has built a loyal following among KL Sentral office workers who visit daily for coffee and lunch. The sourdough, coffee, and rice bowls (teriyaki don, Hawaiian pizza) earn consistent praise, and staff go out of their way to mention available promos. The main friction point is tight seating and an out-of-the-way entrance (accessed via lift from a convenience store entrance), which one recent visitor hopes will improve. Repeat customers describe a "chill vibe" and reliable quality over years of visits. The chocolate roll and tin puff appear to be signature items. Regulars note the staff's warmth extends to being "super friendly" and "attentive", making the cafe feel like a workplace anchor rather than just a food stop.
