What reviewers think

Tealive's appeal hinges on tea quality and occasional standout service, but execution swings wildly. Named staff like Iskandar and Izzati earn repeated praise for patience and helpfulness, yet others are described as rude, disinterested, or ignoring waiting customers. Drinks arrive fast when staff focus, though some orders ship incomplete or in damaged packaging. The location supports moderate footfall; loyalty depends entirely on who is working.

Reviewers cite prices around RM8-11 per drink. The Thursday 3-6PM second-cup deal (RM1.10) draws interest. App guidance remains a sticking point: some staff excel at it, others deflect. Missing ingredients and notification failures (receipt numbers not called) recur across one-star reviews. Best experience comes mid-shift with engaged staff; worst mirrors a chain running on fumes.

Praised for
  • friendly and patient staff on good days
  • fast drink preparation
  • consistent drink quality when executed well
Watch-outs
  • rude or dismissive staff, inconsistent across shifts
  • customers ignored or deprioritised
  • order-ready calls not made; slow notification
  • poor product consistency (missing ingredients, damaged cups)

Think twice if: poor service odds, inconsistent order accuracy, and staff indifference are deal-breakers; check who is working before visiting

Coco Cafe offers cheap drinks and a quiet spot to rest in the mall, but recent visits reveal inconsistent quality and staff indifference. Teh tarik and Milo have tasted watery and flavorless at RM5 each, while cashiers ignore customers or seem dismissive of the work.
