What recent reviews say

Long-time regulars prize the authentic Sarawak laksa and traditional coffee here, finding prices fair and the vintage space welcoming. Recent visitors report the owners enforce strict seating rules and have spoken harshly to staff, which soured what should have been straightforward neighbourhood meals.

Recent shift: Around four months ago, multiple one and two-star reviews appeared citing owner rudeness to staff and inflexible seating enforcement, contrasting with earlier consistent five-star praise from regulars.

Most customers come away impressed by the matcha and coffee quality, especially given the prices. Owner Lim's genuine warmth and willingness to teach the matcha-making process set this cafe apart; many reviewers mention learning something new or feeling personally welcomed. The space is small but deliberately cosy with good music, though parking requires a short walk from the main lot. Service varies slightly: most staff are patient and friendly, but a handful of reports mention inconsistency. Matcha taste can drift between visits, with some finding it perfectly smooth and umami-rich while others occasionally taste only milk. These are rare exceptions in a mostly devoted customer base.

Most visits deliver well-crafted coffee and a relaxed atmosphere with genuine, engaged staff who remember customers' names and go out of their way to help. A small number of reservations centre on extraction consistency and barista knowledge gaps, though individual staff like Khairul, Izral, Arif, and Shah earn specific praise for problem-solving and craft care.

Coffee quality is reliable, and the environment settles customers in for a laid-back visit. Barista Fadh earns particular praise for handling crowds without losing pace or courtesy, though service consistency varies by staff member, and noise from equipment can grate on some.
