What do recent reviews say?

The cafe's greatest strength is its atmosphere: visitors consistently praise the cozy, peaceful, vintage-inspired setting with soft music and retro French decor. Food quality impresses most, from simple breakfasts to mains like Hokkaido Scallops Capellini, though pasta consistency varies and some pastries disappoint on texture.

Staff are noted as friendly and polite, though a few recent visits required getting attention at quiet times. Popular items include customizable breakfast, hot chocolate, and specialty dishes; the venue works well for reading and casual dining. Pastry and cake stock depletes by midday, so arriving earlier suits those with specific cakes in mind.

Estelle Bagel draws regulars for its fresh, carefully made bagels and warm service in a rustic, quiet setting perfect for working or long stays. Staff are genuinely attentive, portions generous, and the spring onion cream cheese alone has earned devoted praise. Recent disappointments centre on occasional ingredient substitutions when top choices sell out, and rare instances where drinks don't deliver their promised flavour intensity or visual appeal. The menu spans beyond bagels into pasta, rice bowls, and French toast bagels, with coffee and specialty lattes available though coffee quality draws mixed notes. Seating and plug points suit laptop work well. One customer flagged cutlery quality and the difficulty of eating thick patties with soft bagels using thin knives, though this has not reappeared in the most recent reviews.

The croffle has become the draw here, with reviewers consistently praising its buttery exterior and light interior. Coffee gets equal love, described as some of the best locals have tried. The space works for both solo breaks and group meetups, with decor and service that justify repeat visits. Recent visits still mention parking challenges and, in one case, white walls showing dust marks. These appear minor against the stream of five-star returns, though worth checking in person. BYOC policy earns loyalty, saving customers RM3 on drinks.
