Latibule Coffee

4.6(141)✓ Verified

Latibule draws regulars for its specialty coffee, vintage Japanese kissaten ambience with vinyl records, and standout desserts like egg pudding and burnt cheesecake. The low-light, quiet environment suits solo work and reading, though weekend crowds can fill tables quickly. Staff handle service recovery well, but availability of signature items fluctuates when the pastry chef is away, and one serious review raised concerns about inconsistent dessert access for non-regular customers. Most visitors find the coffee crafted with care, from drip-on Ethiopia to dark roast Brazil Parana. The Sibeh Dirty Latte pairs well with cheesecakes. Order and pay by QR code at the counter. Reviewers wish for later opening hours, and the cafe sets a quiet, library-like tone that suits concentration but not boisterous groups.

Underscore Coffee

4.4(605)✓ Verified

Staff greet regulars with genuine warmth and remember orders; coffee tastes clean and rich, rosti and baked goods (shiopan, banoffee tart, matcha mudpie) are standouts that regulars seek out specifically. Weekend crowds mean 30-minute waits, and a recent menu overhaul removed beloved items like the Katsu Pesto Rice Bowl that drove repeat visits; pet policies lack clarity for Muslim diners, and portions feel tight against prices. The in-house cat Haru is a notable fixture. Latte art requests get fulfilled. Outdoor seating could use tidying. Best visited on weekday mornings to avoid the crush.

The Palm Coffee House

4.2(150)

Reviewers consistently praise the airy, tree-filled garden setting and the quality of burgers, seafood, and Southeast Asian mains. Service stands out when staff like Amirul Hadi are on duty, though pace and attitude can waver across the team. The coffee is "decent" rather than a draw; some dishes (aglio olio, satay peanut sauce) fall short of their promise. One complaint flags rounded card charges. Regulars return for the relaxing vibe and nostalgic items like the chocolate milkshake.
