Surface Cafe @ PJX
Staff know regulars by name and deliver hot meals reliably, from quick breakfasts to catering events. A few hit misses on pastries and pricey items, but the nasi lemak, teriyaki bowls, and briani keep people returning.
The pies here live up to hype, especially the cherry almond variety that keeps people thinking about it days later. Staff are usually warm and attentive, the espresso machine is serious kit (a La Marzocco GB5 paired with Cottle Coffee beans), and the vintage interior feels genuinely chill for both hanging out and catching up.
That said, parking can be tight and main courses sit at RM30 plus, which reviewers feel is pricey for a cafe. Service is usually quick, but a handful of visits went south when staff ignored orders or dismissed customers rudely. The bread in breakfast dishes sometimes comes hard, and not all cakes hit equally well.

Not enough recent reviews yet to synthesise a reliable sentiment read for this business.

Fresh Vietnamese brunch and baked items hit the mark: reviewers return for tender beef stew, crispy curry puffs, and garlic toast. Portions are large enough to share. The owner and his brother greet customers warmly and work fast. Two roach incidents via food delivery apps have shaken trust. Dine-in reviews are overwhelmingly positive and describe a clean, quiet spot. Consider ordering direct or visiting in person to avoid the delivery quality slip that some have reported.
