Taman Hati draws steady traffic for its plant-dense setting and resident cats, creating a rare hybrid: working café, workshop space, and quiet retreat in busy SS2. Staff guide terrarium workshops with patience, drinks arrive reliably good, and the overall vibe keeps people coming back. Food ranks low on the priority list (lasagna and moussaka get mentions, but selection feels thin), so come for coffee, cats, and the DIY activities, not for the kitchen.
ONO earns its world top-100 ranking with carefully crafted coffee and matcha that impress most visitors. Aesthetic touches and staff hospitality add genuine warmth, though weekend crowds and indoor noise can undermine the experience. Best enjoyed on quieter weekdays or outside.
Yellow Bake Day earns consistent praise for cakes with thoughtful flavor balances and light texture. Pistachio lemon and matcha varieties draw repeat visits. Whole cake orders and takeaway service work smoothly, especially over WhatsApp. Staff are patient and responsive during celebrations. Crowds and echoing noise become problems on busy days, dine-in space shrinks under pressure, and nearby parking is tight. Owner interactions can feel abrupt. Birthday candle policy has frustrated customers expecting complimentary gestures standard elsewhere.
Most visits deliver solid food, pastries, and coffee in a welcoming, relaxed setting where staff go out of their way to help. The kitchen balances breakfast and mains well, with sourdough, egg dishes, and pasta all praised, though some find certain dishes lack punch relative to the price point. A barista manager and named server (Jennifer) earn specific praise for both skill and courtesy. The coffee itself splits opinion: enthusiasts highlight dirty lattes and espresso quality, while others found it underwhelming. Parking is tight. One historical complaint about a manager's rudeness has reportedly been resolved; recent visits show consistent friendliness and care in plating and seasoning.
