Not always. Machines and other diners create noise that can make focused work difficult, especially during peak hours.

Flat white is commended as Melbourne-standard quality. Hojicha latte and matcha are also praised.
Can I request adjustments to food like waffles?
Yes. One reviewer noted that requesting honey improved a dry waffle texture significantly.

Ebony & Ivory Coffee

Ebony & Ivory draws loyal visitors for its cakes, desserts, and fresh Malaysian dishes, with reviewers praising portion size and the team's dedication. However, recent visits reveal friction: tight seating, slow orders during rushes (staff sometimes impatient), and pricing that feels high for a low-cost flat neighbourhood. Weekend crowds bring both queues and pressure to vacate quickly.

Bond Cafe

Bond Cafe delivers fresh coffee and cross-cultural breakfast fare in a small, peaceful corner of Taman Cheras. Reviewers single out hand-made dishes like bacon sandwiches with onion jam and Korean bibimbap, plus sea-salt brownies that travel well as gifts. The trade-off: cramped tables, tricky parking, and an enforceable one-order-per-person rule that has rubbed some the wrong way.
