What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently praise the calm, garden-like setting and bagel selection, with many calling it a hidden oasis. Yet quality control and service speed divide opinions sharply: baked goods sometimes arrive stale or poorly reheated, mains lack seasoning or proper technique, and 30-minute waits frustrate customers at premium prices. Staff honesty (one owner returned a lost watch) counts for something, but kitchen execution needs work.

Tea service and mochi bread earn mentions, though a recent chef change is cited as reason to reconsider. The aesthetic clearly works on Instagram; whether the food matches the vibe depends which visit you catch.

Praised for
  • cozy, plant-filled ambiance
  • quality bagels and pastries
  • good coffee and tea
  • honest, helpful staff
Watch-outs
  • slow service and long waits
  • inconsistent food quality and texture
  • poor preparation and reheating
  • pricing not justified by execution

Best for: Tea and pastry lovers who prioritize calm ambiance over speed or consistency.
Think twice if: Those seeking reliable quality, fast service, or value-for-money should check recent reviews first; a staff or chef change may affect standards unpredictably.

Strengths

  • Fresh-baked bagels, mochi bread, and pastries
  • Full menu from breakfast through lunch
  • Verified honest ownership

Worth knowing

  • Owner returned a lost watch to customer
  • Recent chef change noted by repeat customer (Apr 2026)
  • Niko Neko matcha brand used but preparation criticized
  • Mochi bread, grilled chicken chop, pasta carbonara, and gyudon all mentioned by name in reviews

Coffee here punches well above its price point, with reviewers consistently praising the espresso and flat whites at RM4-6 alongside staff who know regulars by name. The tight, laid-back space suits quick visits and casual meetups better than long study sessions, since there are no power plugs and the ambient noise picks up during busy hours.

Reviewers return for the sourdough sandwiches and fresh pastries in a quiet, welcoming space. Staff treat regulars well, and pricing feels fair. The main friction point is bread texture-sometimes too thin or hard after toasting-and occasional slowness getting add-on dishes to the table while mains cool down.

Staff treat regulars like friends, and the gacha-themed space draws card players and casual diners alike. Creamy spaghetti and specialty drinks justify the visit; decor and pastries photograph well.
