What do recent reviews say?

This quiet second-floor cafe above Kinokuniya delivers strong specialty coffee and a calm retreat for work or study, with helpful staff and pleasant library views. Quality is uneven elsewhere: fresh desserts like lava cake and lemon poppyseed loaf impress, but muffins often disappoint as dry, and Wi-Fi interruptions without notice frustrate laptop users despite the work-friendly positioning.

Recent weeks show recurring issues with beverage value (juice at RM15 questioned), stale food items, and unreliable connectivity. Staff professionalism during technical problems needs attention. When everything lands right-fresh pastries, good coffee, quiet seating-reviewers return happily.

Praised for
  • quiet, peaceful setting above Kinokuniya
  • specialty coffee quality (cappuccino, piccolo, espresso drinks)
  • desserts praised when fresh (lava cake, lemon poppyseed loaf, oreo cheesecake)
  • attentive, helpful staff
  • library views and calm atmosphere for work
Watch-outs
  • Wi-Fi outages without advance notice
  • inconsistent dessert quality, dryness in baked goods

Worth knowing

  • Staff will heat muffins for dine-in customers
  • Specialty equipment available: espresso machines (including Profitec and ECM models), grinders, rental options (details on their website)
  • Wi-Fi has required maintenance with inadequate advance customer notice

Tea blends like peach and bitter melon apple earn consistent praise, and several staff members are noted for genuine warmth and patience with requests. The small Suria KLCC outlet sits steps from the MRT and offers app discounts, but recent visits show a split: some find prompt, friendly service, while others report waits stretching close to two hours and staff who seem disengaged or dismissive during busy periods.

Most visits deliver solid coffee in a pleasant setting with warm service. Recent weeks show consistent praise for drinks and atmosphere, but the last 5 days reveal serious gaps: order errors on customisation requests go unremade, staff responses shift sharply from friendly to dismissive, and order tracking fails mid-rush, leaving some customers apologised to while others are ignored.
