What recent reviews say

Reviewers praise the relaxed vibe, hearty portions, and value for money. Pasta, burgers, and chicken dishes earn consistent compliments. The cafe welcomes laptop workers (power sockets available) and board game enthusiasts. However, service reliability is the crux: wait times of 40-60 minutes and tales of overlooked orders recur across reviews, with several attributing delays to thin staffing during peak hours.

Recent shift: Service quality has worsened noticeably. Earlier reviews (9-12 months ago) mention prompt service; recent reviews (6 months to 4 weeks ago) consistently cite 40-60 minute waits and understaffing.

The giant teddy bears and cozy design draw regulars and Instagram seekers alike. Coffee prices stay reasonable, and plates like Korean spicy wings and waffles land well most days. Staff member Maran earns repeated praise for attentiveness. When the kitchen runs lean or the prep falters (stale crème brûlée, thick batters), the experience dips; background music can overwhelm video calls. Reviewers consistently note the playful, photogenic space suits casual hangouts and catch-ups better than focused work. Food quality swings between solid and disappointing on the same menu. The teddy bear concept and reasonable coffee pricing anchor why most return, despite occasional staffing gaps and menu inconsistencies.

Reviewers are drawn to The BRGR for its messy, flavourful burgers and relaxed atmosphere, with staff earning praise for attentiveness and helpfulness. The menu spans burgers, rice bowls, and coffee drinks at fair prices; fries rank lower than the signature items.

Chabashira delivers matcha and houjicha of unusual depth and refinement, drawn from their own Japanese farms. Reviewers consistently praise the Yu and Ryo grades for their smooth umami profiles and zero bitterness, and note that specialty sets like the Gyokuro Dessert pairing (RM68) feel intentional and elegant. Space is tight and waits peak 30 minutes on busy afternoons; a handful of reviewers flagged that solo diners and larger groups sometimes felt deprioritized during seating. Staff warmth varies: most praise their attentiveness and even complimentary replacements, though a few noted defensive tone when tables were full. Pricing runs RM15-22 per tea drink, reflective of the quality.
