Weekday lunch visitors in the office district seeking specialty Hainan coffee and reliable drinks.

What do recent reviews say?

Some dishes and drinks hit the mark-reviewers regularly praise the Hainan coffee, yuan yang, and chicken rice when execution is on point, and staff are described as welcoming and hardworking. But many leave disappointed by oily food, chicken that tastes reheated, portions nowhere near the photo, and a menu that no longer matches what the kitchen actually serves. Weekday lunches fill the space quickly, yet wait times and inconsistency remain a gamble.

The QR-code ordering system draws regulars, and location in an office-heavy area keeps seats reasonably full outside peak hours. Prices hover around $28–30 for set meals. Repeat visitors note the Jaya One outlet performs better, suggesting operations here need tightening on both kitchen standards and menu accuracy.

Praised for
  • quality coffee and Hainan tea drinks
  • friendly, hardworking staff
  • generous portions on better days
  • convenient location with extended seating
Watch-outs

FAQ

Can I avoid the lunch rush?
Weekday lunches between 11am and 1pm fill quickly. Dinner and weekends see lighter crowds. Early morning or after 2pm visits give better seat availability.
Do I need to order at the counter?
Orders are placed via QR code scan at your table.
Why is the cafe cold at 9am opening?
The building uses a centralised air-con system that only activates at 10am, making early-morning visits uncomfortable.

Staff make you feel welcome, and the place stays tidy and inviting. Lunch sets at RM19.90 pack a full meal with drink and ice cream, drawing regulars from nearby offices. Pasta dishes and burgers arrive in hearty portions and taste well-made at prices that don't feel inflated for the neighbourhood. The kitchen keeps pace even during rushes. Halal certification matters to Muslim diners working in the area. Reviewers come back for the combination of friendly service, good value, and reliable food quality.

Most visits centre on the weekday lunch buffet (around RM15-18), where reviewers find good value and comfort despite variable menu quality. Recent praise focuses on breakfast, pricing, and spacious seating, though a serious incident from seven months ago raised concerns about staff care when a diner was in distress.

Coffee and breakfast draw regulars to this Bangsar South spot, where the Alaska roast and Big Breakfast come in generous portions at fair prices. A welcoming owner and most staff members, especially barista Gun, make visits smooth; one recent first-timer found service inconsistent, though the coffee itself was strong. Most days feel quiet and cozy, ideal for lingering over food and work. Their matcha, cinnamon rolls, and mentaiko pasta round out a menu that keeps people coming back. The 50% drinks discount with a main meal is a standout deal. A few reviewers note that staff warmth varies, but recent visits consistently praise both the space and the care that goes into each drink.
