Reviewers consistently highlight the authentic Malay cooking, generous servings, and warm kampung-style setting with staff in traditional dress. A waiter named Dedi receives individual praise for attentiveness. Service remains a strong point across recent visits, though one diner noted prices run higher-offset, they said, by portion size.
Most visitors find this a relaxed spot to sit with carefully curated vinyl, though the experience hinges on timing and capacity. Staff earn consistent praise for warmth, and the banana cake and specialty drinks (including a strong matcha coconut cloud) keep people coming back; the evening shift trades that calm for noise and crowding that undercuts the advertised listening experience.
Bricks and Bread KL excels with specialty coffee drinks (dirty latte, dirty coffee frequently praised) and brunch staples like mushroom toast on sourdough and cinnamon rolls. The colonial building itself draws praise for its photogenic, cozy atmosphere. Staff deliver attentive service on good days, and pricing stays fair. However, recent weeks show friction: service inconsistency, slow order processing with queuing systems, staff who struggle with simple requests, and a manager accused of dismissiveness. The lack of WiFi remains a stumbling block for remote workers despite the spacious, work-friendly vibe. This place divides visitors. Those seeking weekend brunch and Instagram moments in a historic setting often leave happy. Early risers needing quick service or laptop workers looking for connectivity should look elsewhere. Recent splits between five-star and one-star reviews suggest execution depends heavily on timing and which staff member shows up.
Silverfox draws regulars for its specialty coffee, matcha drinks, and polished interiors ideal for photos or work. Staff members like Amiru and Amiraa earn specific praise for warmth, though recent reviews split on value: some find RM50+ for food and a drink reasonable for the vibe, while others push back on small portions and flavour for the price.
