"My go-to coffee place. Reasonable price with superb taste and aroma. Simple yet tasty food menu choices. MUST try their self-made bread! Personally, I liked their toasted peanut and hainan chicken curry rice. Their sando is superb too!"

"Found last min through Instagram and how warm, comforting taste all the food were. Though we came 30mins before closing we were able to enjoy our meal and relax. The toilet was clean as well as the staff were hardworking. Would want to be back for other menus. So many to choose from! And not bad on price! (Love the deep fried eggplant!)"

"A modern day kopitiam shop located at the corner of a narrow neighborhood. This inconspicuous shop is great for "kopi-kopi" (hanging out) with your friends. You can choose to sit comfortably inside or enjoy the mini garden outside. They offer a variety of food and drinks to choose from but their soft boiled egg with kaya & butter toast set is a winner! XD I enjoyed their thick & fragrant coffee even though I'm not a regular coffee drinker. The price is above average. eWallet payment is accepted here. The service is good and the toilet is clean. Note that the place can be crowded in the afternoon and parking space will be difficult to find."

"It's a nice cafe to relax in, grab a cup of coffee and light meal. Nice ambience, though prices are a bit on the higher side (but in this day and age...what isn't..) I still find it worth the money A treat every once or twice a week for myself is good"

"Been wanting to visit this cafe for the longest time! The kaya toast was lowkey mediocre. The hainanese Kopi susu (rm6) was so-so. The ambience is really nice. It's v quaint, serene & soothing. I think they're going for the old school Kopitiam meets modern cafe vibe haha. Friendly Staffs & speedy service, got a/c indoors~ Prices are affordable too! Would visit again!"

"Been here for the forth time with my family! I love their Cham & bread a lot. But their mee hoon and nasi lemak is just average and pricy to me with the portion being served. Worth to try their homemade bread & kaya!"

"Cool air-conditioned coffee shop and restaurant. They make their own Kaya and bake their own bread. The owner takes great pride in his coffee and tea making prowess, and it shows with great strong flavorful local coffee and strong rich tea. We tried the nasi lemak, chicken curry, curry fish balls, curry puff (I like curry…), fried mee hoon, Kaya butter toast, cheesy toast and soft boiled eggs. Normally, the more things a restaurant offers, the more average the food becomes, but this was not the case here. Surprisingly, for a place that offers such variety, everything was good. Great coffee and food… well worth a visit for breakfast or lunch while in KK."

"This tiny shop is halmarks a pleasant new wave of youth culture into the aged part of the local neighbourhood. The handsome boys working at the front look really focused and passionate about the craft of bread toasting and coffee mixing. Food is simple and alright for home cooking. At the price that they are charging, I expected iced beverage served in a glass, the toast to have accents of charcoal smoke, the meat sliced evenly, vegetables to be chopped neatly and food to be served quicker. Maybe they will get better as they gain more experience. Toilet is clean. Expect to struggle for a parking spot nearby."
