What do recent reviews say?

Before 9:30am, the queue forms for breakfast and IKEA member perks. Food arrives quickly once orders land, and portions feel generous for the price. Cheesecakes, yogurt ice cream, and meatballs show up reliably good, though broccoli is routinely overcooked and discarded. Weekend evenings bring crush, empty drinks stations, and isolated moments of staff friction that stand out against the usual friendliness.

Recent reviews show the cafe managing rush-hour scale better than a year ago, though peak service still stretches thin. A year back, order errors and cold dismissals featured more often. Now the friction emerges mainly around timing: long waits for hot items, and occasional tone mismatches when the rush peaks. Card payment only remains the rule.

The cafe earns steady praise for its cozy bookstore setting and barista work, with regulars coming back for the latte and red velvet cake. Recent weeks show friction: two separate one-star reviews cite staff coldness and dismissiveness, contradicting the warmth most report. Prices sit high for portion sizes, and drinks quality varies noticeably across menu items. Tucked inside Book Xcess at MyTown, it offers a quiet work space with good background music and a 3-hour table limit. Matcha lattes and some baked goods (mac and cheese, overly sweet Earl Grey cake) have let down visitors, while tacos and pecan pie have impressed. A cosy escape when staff are in good humour.

When the matcha is on point, it's earthy and smooth without the harsh bite some expect. The range of options (lattes, frappes, soft serve, waffles) keeps repeat visits fresh, and staff sometimes deliver quick, friendly service on a busy day. But recent reviews show inconsistency: some customers get watery soft serve, others report thin matcha taste masked by ice or strawberry, and a handful mention staff who seem disengaged or defensive about order changes. The shop pulls in strong five-star reviews for the drink quality when executed well, yet the same location flips to one stars when the matcha grade or staff attention slip. Newer complaints about melting desserts and flavour variation suggest quality control gaps, particularly in prep timing and ingredient consistency.

Recent diners consistently praise the seafood quality, especially the prawn noodles and fresh catches, alongside good-value lunch sets. Staff are noted as friendly and knowledgeable. The space feels spacious with solid ambience, and the menu spans seafood, chicken, noodles, and desserts like pistachio milk cake, drawing repeat visits from those seeking variety in one venue. The business operates daily from a Royal Selangor Golf Club location with parking nearby. Their website claims they serve high tea, live seafood, brunch, and event hosting. A recent mention suggests shisha offerings, though that detail is light in reviews overall.
