What do recent reviews say?

Strong crowd pleaser for casual work sessions or hangouts, with staff who genuinely engage and a thoughtful drink menu. Food divides reviewers: some love the miso carbonara and unique flavour profiles, others find portions modest, proteins dry, and main dishes overpriced for what arrives. At RM30-40 per lunch set, it works as a cafe retreat but not reliably as a restaurant destination.

Praised for
  • friendly and attentive staff
  • unique and creative food flavours
  • good ambience and playlist
  • quality drinks and chocolates
Watch-outs
  • higher prices not always matched by ingredient quality
  • inconsistent food execution (dry chicken, weak sauces)

Room 203

Room 203 delivers excellent house-roasted coffee for RM 5, served in a spare, cement-floored corridor space perfect for a quick break or quiet work session. Quality is consistent and pricing beats specialty shops across Kuala Lumpur. Recent visits praise the black and white edition coffees and friendly service, though older reviews flag occasional barista rudeness; the no-menu, cash-only setup suits coffee lovers who know what they want, but may frustrate browsers or card users. The shop occupies a small corridor in Solaris Dutamas near Publika. They roast their own beans and serve only Americanos and lattes. Music varies by barista. Staff warmth appears inconsistent across visits, with some customers describing a welcoming attitude and others reporting sharp responses to straightforward questions. The recent five-star trend suggests either improved training or a shift in who's behind the bar.

Keopi & Sul. - Cafe & Bistro x Keo Kidsland

4.4(188)✓ Google-verified

Staff go the extra mile: when one diner ordered incorrectly, the team quietly added rice, egg, and curry on the house. Food lands reliably tasty and prettily plated, from panko chicken to pastries to creative drinks with playful pet touches. The space feels welcoming for families and feels designed for lingering. Recent hiccups don't undermine that feeling yet. The kitchen opens half an hour behind the cafe doors (10am instead of 9:30am), which catches breakfast-hunters off guard. One guest received pre-warmed ice cream from a party earlier that evening; the server brushed it off. Still, the bulk of recent reviews prize the comfort and the generosity more loudly.

Coffee Stain Publika

Coffee Stain roasts in-house and their baristas nail specialty pours-reviewers return for espresso drinks and house signature blends. Soufflés, sourdough sandwiches, and pastries keep regulars coming back, and staff handle pressure with composure. Recent visits surface friction: chair cushions stained and dirty, portions feel light for the price (RM29-30 sandwiches), and interior noise can drown out a quiet coffee. The cafe sits in Publika mall, offers wifi, and works as a chill spot solo or with friends, but inconsistency in presentation and seating care pulls the experience down.
