Can you customize drinks, like making a cold drink hot?

What recent reviews say

Food and coffee draw steady praise, with diners highlighting truffle pasta, creative burgers like the waffle benedict, and hand-brew coffee paired with genuine service. Stock issues frustrate repeat customers: items vanish from the menu or aren't in stock despite online photos, and staff decline simple requests like heating a cold drink.

Origin Cafe

4.0(370)✓ Verified

Food quality and value draw regulars to Origin, which serves creative dishes like Lemon Noodle and Aglio pan-seared salmon at affordable prices. The owner's presence and friendly staff earn praise, though service consistency falters during lunch rushes: orders forgotten for 45 minutes, staff avoiding customers, and dishes arriving slowly. Recent price jumps (from RM 12.90 to RM 16 without portion changes) have rankled repeat customers. Eat-in diners report the most friction, while delivery customers praise speed and taste. Parking is adequate; the space is clean and cozy. Best visits happen outside peak hours.

Saturn 23 Coffee

4.8(36)✓ Verified

Coffee here is a real draw: reviewers return for consistently good espresso-based drinks and find the quiet space perfect for a solo afternoon. Staff attention and reasonable breakfast pricing (RM12.90 for sandwich and coffee) help, though the kitchen struggles with pasta-bland, dry, under-garnished dishes appear in feedback, suggesting food is not the business's strength.
