What do recent reviews say?

Tommy Le Baker trades on its bakery pedigree and moody design, and sourdough lovers do return. But recent reviews split sharply: coffee disappoints even loyal customers, portions shrink against prices 1.5-2x higher than typical cafes, and the lack of Wi-Fi collides with poor mobile signal inside. Staff friendliness under pressure is noted, yet rudeness has surfaced too. The sourdough remains the draw, though even that shows signs of decline from earlier years.

Praised for
  • sourdough and baguettes well-regarded
  • friendly staff during rushes
  • atmospheric design and setting

Kantata KL

4.0(184)✓ Google-verified

Kantata KL draws regulars for its matcha, specialty coffee, and kaya toast in a design-forward space with art installations. Staff attentiveness and tone vary noticeably; most visits deliver the vibe and food quality reviewers seek, but occasional staff rudeness and short stock without warning have stung recent guests. The pandan latte, masala chai, and chicken noodles earn praise for flavour balance. Weekday visits tend to be calmer and longer-stay friendly. Coffee and matcha execution stand out as genuinely skilled rather than generic, and owners appear engaged and welcoming.

Piu Piu Piu Cafe

4.6(202)✓ Google-verified

Piu Piu Piu draws regulars for its strong espresso drinks, distinctive Grand Budapest Hotel-inspired interior, and genuinely quiet vibe rare in cafes. Quality swings noticeably between visits though: espresso tonic and affogato get consistent praise, but matcha and tea drinks disappoint often, and staff rarely guide newcomers through the menu clearly. Park yourself on foot or early if possible.

Transparent Coffee

4.4(656)✓ Google-verified

Transparent Coffee earns consistent praise for its English muffins and carefully sourced beans, with most visitors noting the cozy, peaceful setting tucked away in Kampung Attap. Staff are attentive, and the coffee quality is high enough that regulars return specifically for bean selection and flavour profiles. The main trade-off: it's small, parking is tight (5 spaces shared with office staff), and hot items sell out by mid-morning. The location inside a residential block requires navigating security. Recent reviews confirm the muffins remain the standout draw, though some note the fruity bean profile may not suit all palates.
