What recent reviews say
Coffee quality shines when prepared by experienced staff like Amad and Amirul, with reviewers consistently praising specialty drinks and the clean, wood-toned interior. However, the location falls short as a work spot: no washroom, no power outlets, cramped seating, and inconsistent quality from newer baristas dampen the experience despite genuinely affordable pricing.
Recent shift: Staff consistency has emerged as a visible concern in recent months; newer baristas show quality dips compared to experienced team members like Amad and Amirul
