What do recent reviews say?

Scoby delivers a relaxed brunch and dinner experience with strong coffee, house-brewed kombucha, and distinctive Asian-fusion dishes like crab pasta and salmon ochazuke. Staff warmth and pet hospitality (including complimentary dog milk) stand out, though one recent visitor felt unwelcome arriving with a pet, and peak hours can mean hour-long weekend waits.

Food consistency draws mixed feedback. Generous portions and creative items like Ultraman Crab Pasta and Steak Frites win regular praise, yet some find certain dishes bland or tiramisu disappointing. The bright, comfortable setting suits friends, couples, and pet owners seeking a leisurely spot near Bukit Jalil park.

Staff know how to keep the space calm and welcoming: quiet enough for a solo reader or laptop worker, with decent coffee and live jazz on weekends adding to the draw. Food quality varies and orders can take time, but the atmosphere and a careful eye to comfort (power outlets, air conditioning, polite service) make it worth a return visit for those seeking downtime rather than quick bites.
