Bricks and Bread KL

Bricks and Bread KL excels with specialty coffee drinks (dirty latte, dirty coffee frequently praised) and brunch staples like mushroom toast on sourdough and cinnamon rolls. The colonial building itself draws praise for its photogenic, cozy atmosphere. Staff deliver attentive service on good days, and pricing stays fair. However, recent weeks show friction: service inconsistency, slow order processing with queuing systems, staff who struggle with simple requests, and a manager accused of dismissiveness. The lack of WiFi remains a stumbling block for remote workers despite the spacious, work-friendly vibe. This place divides visitors. Those seeking weekend brunch and Instagram moments in a historic setting often leave happy. Early risers needing quick service or laptop workers looking for connectivity should look elsewhere. Recent splits between five-star and one-star reviews suggest execution depends heavily on timing and which staff member shows up.

Gavel draws repeat visitors for its Sunday roast, which reviewers who have eaten in London say rivals or surpasses the original. Staff greet guests warmly, explain promotions clearly, and go beyond expectations. The craft beer list is well-organised and properly served; weekday happy hour runs 3–9pm, Sundays 12–7pm. Sunday roast dominates the menu that day, with other dishes (steak pie, pho, seafood pasta, trout collar, beef Wellington) available the rest of the week. Booking ahead and parking confirmation are sensible precautions. Recent visits show consistently strong execution, though one long-term customer noted occasional meat quality lapses on roasts. Seating is tight for large groups.

Strong coffee and showstopping desserts drive repeat visits. Standouts include a berry coffee, pistachio berry cream cake, and tiramisu that reviewers travel back for, paired with generous portions at fair prices. Newest reviews praise staff warmth and a staff member named Wanting for going out of his way to lend customers a powerbank. Older complaints about one male staff member rushing customers have not surfaced in the last three weeks; inconsistency in burger quality and cake freshness remain occasional concerns, though most recent diners report everything well-executed and well-seasoned. The space draws Instagram-worthy traffic and handles mid-morning quiet periods well, with a notably relaxed 9 am vibe. Service recovery seems limited (one burger complaint received no apology), yet the overall tone from recent visits is appreciation for thoughtful touches and an attentive team.
