Four Wheel Cafe

3.9(462)

Four Wheel Cafe draws steady crowds for fusion dishes and specialty coffee, but recent visits reveal widening gaps. Portions and some items (nuggets, egg toast) earn consistent praise, while other dishes (bland prawn noodles, watery Carbonara) disappoint. The newest review flags poor food prep and rigid seating refusal; older guests loved the cool air and reasonable prices, but cleanliness and staff attitude complaints have surfaced across recent months.

ZUS Coffee - Fortune Centra, Kepong

4.1(327)✓ Google-verified

Recent visits reveal sharp inconsistency: some days staff deliver warmth and care, other days waits stretch to 30 minutes for basic drinks and orders arrive weak or oversweetened. Custom requests (extra hot, less ice, specific ratios) often go ignored despite app selection, and drink execution varies enough that reviewers regret their choices or receive entirely wrong products. The Kepong location faces operational strain. WiFi dropouts, phone lines that don't answer, unfamiliar staff on promotions, and a shabby concrete floor compound the friction. When the kitchen delivers (jasmine tea, Spanish latte at their best), customers praise it warmly; most recent traffic, though, documents frustration outweighing satisfaction.

Staff warmth stands out most, with regulars naming baristas Hazman, Jieha, and Nash by name. Coffee quality and the 7:30am opening draw repeat visits, though recent issues with promotion handling and refund processing have rattled some long-term customers.
