"Parking is a bit scarce, but you can park anywhere alongside the road. Went here around 11pm, packed and could barely secure a table. Nice drinks, coffee and cakes. They had banoffee pie to my delightful surprise, would rate it a 6.5/10 (its decent but in a good way). Matcha batik was pretty good too, my friends liked it. Enjoyed my fizzy peach lemonade too, it wasn’t the usual soda + lemon squeezed in it. They have multiple vendors at the place, so you can order from the others as well. My friends and I got a table right in front of the cashier, which is also unfortunately sitting in the near vicinity of their speaker. This became an issue due to how loud the songs were played + the bustling sounds of people coming in and out and ordering at the counter. Other than that, nice place to hang till midnight. ( • 3 •)"

"Love the vibes very chill and suitable for various groups. A great place to get some work done thanks to the comfortable environment. Food tastes good and prices are reasonable. Seating space is a bit limited, but the staff are very friendly, which makes the experience even better."

"Really love the concept of the coffee shop, little bit cozy and warm environment. Ordered Ice Chocolate and Chocolate Crepe, which turned out to be quite okay. Ice chocolate tastes not too sweet and I can taste cocoa. While chocolate crepe, not too creamy and sweet. Suit to my taste. For the service, really hope that the staff can be a little bit friendly, greet customer warmly. Overall, still love the place."

"Went after Teraweh. Crowd was quite normal — not too packed and still plenty of seats. People keep coming and if youre bit late, might need to wait for seats. Coffee was really nice. Not bland but not too strong either. Caramel macchiato was well balanced, not overly sweet, and the cappuccino was good too. They have quite a variety of desserts. Tried the Kek Batik Matcha Indulgence — memang sedap but the kek batik layer was a bit thin, maybe around 1/3 of the slice. Waiting time for the order wasn’t long. The place also has a few seating options: aircond area, open space, and indoor with fan — so you can choose depending on your vibe. Overall everything was great. Recommended, and will definitely come again."
