What recent reviews say

The live music and friendly service keep regulars coming back, but recent visits expose serious gaps during peak hours. When the air conditioning fails (a repeated issue), kitchen speed collapses, waits stretch past an hour for drinks and meals, and staff seem disorganized. Food quality wavers, from praiseworthy ramen and spaghetti to complaints of watery mash, bland drinks, and hair in dishes. The cafe shines on quieter days with strong specialty coffee and a welcoming vibe.

Peak-time bookings on Fridays hit a wall: customers report no table cleanup before seating, temperatures rising to sauna levels, and staff unwilling to acknowledge delays or complaints. Owner involvement disappears when pressure builds. For the moderate pricing in Bukit Puchong, reviewers expect consistency and basic service recovery that simply does not arrive on busy nights.

What reviews say by service

Specialty Coffee: Cappuccino and piccolo praised for well-rounded, flavourful profiles.
Cafe & Brunch: Spaghetti and ramen earn consistent praise; inconsistent execution on mash potatoes, soups, and drinks during peak times.
