What do recent reviews say?
Walk-in customers encounter wildly split experiences: some praise named staff like Kaka and Luqman for genuine hospitality and recommend the Maple Oat latte and donuts, while others report drinks tasting like sugar water or hot liquid with barely detectable coffee. Recent complaints centre on drink consistency and a policy denial of hot water for baby formula.
Staff friendliness appears uneven across shifts, though some reviews name staff members who went above and beyond with attentive service and polite apologies for waits. Pastries, particularly maple and strawberry cheesecake donuts, draw steady approval. The venue itself is quiet and described as cozy for lingering.

- friendly and attentive staff (Kaka, Luqman, Ayla named)
- donuts and pastries praised consistently
- French vanilla and specialty lattes popular
- cozy, welcoming atmosphere
Watch-outs

FAQ
- Can I get hot water for baby formula without buying anything?
- Recent reviews report the staff have denied hot water for baby formula unless a purchase is made, which differs from other local cafes' practice.
- Can I buy just 2 donuts for takeaway, or do I have to buy a box of 6?
- According to a recent review, takeaway donut boxes come in sets of 6 only; fewer items must go in a paper bag, which may affect quality during transport.
- Which drinks and donuts should I try?
- Customers recommend the Montreal Latte, Maple Oat latte, French vanilla, and maple or strawberry cheesecake donuts. Named staff Kaka, Luqman, and Ayla can offer suggestions.

House of Wheat, Chow Kit
4.6(2225)✓ Google-verified
Most visitors praise the fresh pastries, sourdough, and brunch dishes like hummus chicken on house-made bread, alongside smooth espresso drinks. The space draws crowds for its stylish decor and calm vibe. Staff members like Him earn specific mention for warmth and attentiveness. Recent hiccups include one report of dry food and another of oversweetened syrup in pancakes, plus occasional hesitation in the welcome. Weekday deals draw regulars back. The menu shifts regularly enough that repeat visits feel rewarding.
