What do recent reviews say?

Regular patrons consistently praise the tiramisu, cakes, and pancakes as standout reasons to visit, alongside a welcoming atmosphere and staff who go the extra mile for families with young children. The kitchen excels at desserts; savoury mains show promise but seasoning can feel incomplete, and service occasionally dips when the cafe fills up, though most visits land solidly positive.

The business operates in Bukit Damansara with claims of service reaching Chinatown and central KL. Menu highlights include matcha lattes, big breakfast, pulled beef benedict, and chocoholic pancakes. Diners budget around RM50 per person and should expect paid parking (RM5/hour at the venue). The cafe draws both solo workers and family groups seeking a prolonged stay.

The branch struggles with consistency. Recent reviewers report long waits (45 minutes to an hour), small portions at high prices (RM26-30 for 5 thin pancakes), slow or disorganised ordering workflows, and staff gaps during peak times. A few praise the quiet ambiance and specific items like bagels or Spanish latte, but most complaints centre on lengthy kitchen delays, order errors, missing side items, and food quality that reviewers describe as oily or freezer-cold. Staff behaviour splits sharply: some reviewers note warmth and professionalism, others describe rudeness or inattention. A common thread is decline since the business shifted from its earlier Nourish concept, which reviewers recall as offering better dietary options, attentive table service, and higher food standards. The pastry case remains a strength, but the hot meal menu appears to be where most disappointment lands.

Both reviewers praise the welcoming vibe and milk quality. Evidence is limited to two five-star reviews spanning several years, so detail is scarce.

Specialty roaster tucked behind Paolo Paolo Gelato serving smooth, thoughtfully sourced coffee to regulars who prize the craft. Baristas explain their beans well, and the minimalist bunker-like space appeals to those after a quiet cup or creative work, though tight quarters and sound amplification can frustrate lingerers or remote workers; finding the entrance tests first-timers.
