Core details are sourced from this business's Google Business Profile (checked 2026-09-29).

What do recent reviews say?

Most visits deliver quick, flavourful food in a relaxed setting, but recent months have seen inconsistent service. Two recent visitors encountered staff who ignored bell presses and didn't acknowledge orders, while another found the cafe already closing at 9 despite a posted 10pm time. The core draw remains solid cooking (Korean dishes, waffles with heavy fillings), though at a price that does not always match the small space and limited table count.

  • tasty food and generous portions
  • quick service on good days
  • cosy space and nice atmosphere
  • friendly cat outside
Watch-outs
  • air conditioning broken or inadequate for months

  • outdoor cat resident

solid flavourful menu and generous portions, though inconsistent staff service and closing time reliability are recent pain points

FAQ

Can I pay by card?
No, the cafe does not accept card payments. Cash only.
Is the cafe suitable for a quiet work session?
Yes, reviewers note a calm, quiet atmosphere, but only two tables are available so space is tight.
What time does it close?
Posted hours are until 10pm, though recent visits report the cafe already closing by 9pm. Best to arrive well before then.

Staff treat regulars and new arrivals with genuine warmth, and the kitchen delivers crispy chicken, carbonara, and bagels in portions that satisfy. Coffee is solid and affordably priced, matcha is available off-menu with advance notice, and the music and low-key setting feel suited to both casual meals and lingering work sessions.

Most visitors praise the Petronas Twin Towers view from the rooftop and second floor, especially in evening light, paired with well-executed drinks and cake. Staff earn consistent mention for kindness; breakfast and specialty items like Basque cheesecake and matcha drive return trips, though seating is tight and the venue takes card payments only.

Black Ink Co. wins strong praise for carefully made espresso-based drinks and exceptional baked goods, especially cookies and carrot cake. Most recent visits report excellent coffee taste and pleasant service. The tiny space (2-3 seats) and occasional inconsistency in cup sizing are the main trade-offs for a spot locals recommend seeking out.
