What do recent reviews say?

Regular diners praise the food's flavour and range, from nasi lemak to laksa and mee siam, and return weekly or monthly. Staff attentiveness stands out, with multiple mentions of helpful service. The space feels clean and spacious with sea views; recent visitors call it reliable for breakfast and lunch.

Kitchen pace slows even when not crowded, and a recurring minor complaint about egg-serving cutlery surfaced again this week. Overall the vibe is solid: instagrammable setting, thoughtful touches like sugar options for tea and coffee, and genuine repeat loyalty.

Kenangan Coffee The Vertical Podium, Bangsar South

4.1(67)✓ Google-verified

Staff at Kenangan Bangsar South are known for solving problems on the spot: baristas remake orders, upgrade sizes at no charge, and steer customers toward promotions. Coffee itself draws consistent praise for its smooth, distinctive Indonesian-style blend. The recent stumble is food pricing and freshness. Two reviewers in the last two months flagged undersized portions for RM 16.90, and pizza that tasted sour after sitting. The business has built loyalty around recognisable people: Shah the barista appears by name in five reviews spanning a year, consistently noted for kindness. Cosy vibe and speed also surface repeatedly in accounts of both dine-in and takeaway visits. No major shift in tone across the timeline, though the last two reviews signal a tightening standard for food cost and quality that peers expect.
