What do recent reviews say?

Chan2Cafe draws regulars for its cosy upstairs hideaway in TTDI, where the matcha coconut cream and flat whites earn consistent praise. Staff like Clara are noted for their friendliness; the vibe supports both coffee runs and work sessions, with early 8am opening and fair prices compared to nearby competitors.

Recent additions to the food menu (avocado toast, grilled chicken poke bowl, chicken chop salad) complement the drinks. The cafe sits on the second floor of Jasema, a layout reviewers accept as part of its charm, though the stairs are something to plan for if mobility is a factor.

Little Bourke reliably delivers quality coffee, fresh pastries, and well-executed brunch fare in a relaxed, quiet setting that appeals to both casual visits and informal meetings.

Steak and fries draw consistent praise, and the sourdough bread impresses diners familiar with European standards. Service staff earn recognition for attentiveness, especially on birthdays and group dinners. Reservations are essential; the neighbourhood bistro vibe appeals to those marking occasions. Recent visits surface tension between price and execution: beef bourguignon pie and mains sometimes disappoint, though pies, cold capellini, and lamb rack find enthusiasts. Parking is tight in Taman Tun Dr Ismail. Staff recover well from mishaps (broken pepper mill replaced the soup automatically).

The strength here is coffee: reviewers consistently praise the espresso, microfoam, and the fact that beans are roasted on-site. The space feels calm on weekday mornings and staff are helpful. The cafe struggles with some pastries and food items, and a few recent orders arrived in smaller portions than expected, but the core coffee reputation remains strong. Recent visits have focused on the drinks quality, particularly lattes and filter coffee. Takeaway packaging gets attention, though one delivery complaint about cup sizes and fill level has not been echoed in newer reviews. The burnt pandan cheesecake divided opinion, and a lukewarm serving temperature once raised questions about their lower-heat brewing method.
