What do recent reviews say?

The outlet earns strong marks for space, cleanliness, and occasional standout barista work, but satisfaction hinges heavily on which staff member handles your order. Recent reviews swing between praise for detail-oriented service and complaints about dismissive attitudes, pricing confusion, and inconsistent drink quality.

When the team performs well, they add handwritten notes on delivery cups and remember customer promos. On off days, pricing disputes and unprofessional behaviour appear quickly. The coffee itself draws praise when care is taken, though some find it watery.

Diners consistently report good food and fast service in a cozy setting. Staff bring energy and warmth even during evening rushes; birthday diners note generous complimentary dishes. Most dishes land well, though one recent guest found Fish n Chips and Buta Ramen a touch bland. Prices feel fair for the portion sizes and venue atmosphere.

Regular diners praise the food's flavour and range, from nasi lemak to laksa and mee siam, and return weekly or monthly. Staff attentiveness stands out, with multiple mentions of helpful service. The space feels clean and spacious with sea views; recent visitors call it reliable for breakfast and lunch. Kitchen pace slows even when not crowded, and a recurring minor complaint about egg-serving cutlery surfaced again this week. Overall the vibe is solid: instagrammable setting, thoughtful touches like sugar options for tea and coffee, and genuine repeat loyalty.

Staff at Kenangan Bangsar South are known for solving problems on the spot: baristas remake orders, upgrade sizes at no charge, and steer customers toward promotions. Coffee itself draws consistent praise for its smooth, distinctive Indonesian-style blend. The recent stumble is food pricing and freshness. Two reviewers in the last two months flagged undersized portions for RM 16.90, and pizza that tasted sour after sitting. The business has built loyalty around recognisable people: Shah the barista appears by name in five reviews spanning a year, consistently noted for kindness. Cosy vibe and speed also surface repeatedly in accounts of both dine-in and takeaway visits. No major shift in tone across the timeline, though the last two reviews signal a tightening standard for food cost and quality that peers expect.
