What do recent reviews say?

Most visitors praise Solace's warm welcome, excellent coffee, and thoughtfully decorated space. Regulars return for seasonal brunch items, and staff members attune themselves to customer needs without being asked. The charcoal-fired pizza and Malaysian fusion dishes earn consistent applause.

Recent visits reveal a split: some find flavours bold and portions generous, while others report overcooked pasta, underseasoned or oddly balanced dishes (black pepper drowning the garlic in aglio olio, minimal seafood in priced-up mains), and long waits between courses. Seating comfort and value remain sore points for a vocal minority.

The Rabbit Hole

4.5(3386)✓ Google-verified

Staff like Raihan and Dipta stand out for their warmth and responsiveness, going beyond orders to help with birthday candles and photo setups. The kitchen delivers fresh, well-balanced dishes, from creamy Nasi Lemak to pesto pasta, paired with top-notch coffee and specialty cocktails. The space itself draws people back: a relaxed, clean environment with warm lighting, a working pool, and an open pit bar. Reviewers describe it as cozy yet vibey, somewhere they return repeatedly for breakfast or lunch, trusting both the food quality and the genuine hospitality they'll find on arrival.

Brew & Bread Changkat Bukit Bintang

4.4(114)

Staff consistently earn praise by name-Raihan, Thomas, Saber, Dipta among others-for friendliness and attentiveness. Coffee and brunch staples (salmon dishes, truffle carbonara, pastries) and the cosy, relaxed atmosphere draw regulars and date-night visitors alike. Recent visits show solid execution: service recovers quickly when a dessert misses the mark, portions satisfy, and the room stays conversational rather than loud. The business rarely stumbles; when it does (a bland rice bowl, a missing change in an older review), staff manner usually makes it right.
