What do recent reviews say?

Strong track record for tea and cakes in a thoughtfully decorated space. Staff read customer needs well-one reviewer's staff member recommended the medovik honey cake and staff arranged an impromptu birthday surprise. Spacious seating, quiet surroundings, and a focused menu keep the vibe relaxed rather than rushed.

Recent reviews highlight matcha drinks and creme brulee as standouts, though savoury dishes (lasagne, carbonara) have occasionally disappointed. The place has stayed open 12 years, suggesting reliable core appeal, though one older note flagged occasional mismatches between listed and actual opening hours-phoning ahead on off-peak days remains sensible.

  • Cakes and desserts are consistently praised
  • Staff are attentive and friendly
  • Aesthetic decor with teapot displays creates memorable atmosphere
  • Quiet, spacious environment good for lingering

Desserts and tea sets are the real draw here; many return for the cakes and afternoon tea atmosphere. The interior feels genuinely cosy and English-countryside-inspired, which works well for small celebrations. Staff warmth and food consistency vary noticeably. Some visits include attentive service and perfectly balanced dishes; others involve cold tea, oversalted mains, or dismissive handling of requests. Pricing sits high for a casual cafe, and recent reviews suggest the quality does not always justify it.

Regular visitors praise the matcha quality and attentive staff by name. Recent five-star reviews highlight fragrant lattes, matcha ice cream, and staff like Amelia and Thomas who guide orders well. The space feels clean and comfortable for solo customers. A minority of older complaints raised shrinking drink portions against increasing ice, though recent reviews do not repeat this. One visitor found the outlet closed before posted closing time; most recent visits report smooth service and fast drinks. Discount vouchers through TnG and Grab Dine Out are mentioned.

Desserts and pastries earn steady praise, with tiramisu, peach strudel, and smashburger standouts; staff members like Amirul, Hisyam, Bard and Luqman receive personal recognition for attentiveness. The ambience works well for casual meals or work. Recent visits reveal inconsistency: some report fast service and excellent attention, while others hit long queues on weekends and missed orders. Food quality varies (mussels broth described as tasteless, beef pie dry, yet burgers and pastries praised highly). Freshness issues appear occasionally but spoiled cakes remain a concern.
