What recent reviews say

The croffle dominates word-of-mouth here: reviewers describe it as crispy, freshly baked, and the signature draw that brings them back repeatedly. Coffee, Korean soups like sundubu jjigae, and the overall cozy, quiet space earn consistent praise. Staff consistently earn mentions for warmth and attentiveness. Parking is the single friction point noted; otherwise, the cafe reads as a calm, welcoming spot for both casual visits and lingering.

The business lands at 4.9 stars across 717 reviews with 93% five-star ratings. Sundubu jjigae gets specific praise for soft tofu and rich broth with generous portions. The owner's presence registers as a personal touch. No complaints surface about food quality, service pace, or the menu itself.

Most customers return for Niju's genuinely good coffee and solid brunch menu. Staff explain bean origins, espresso pulls a clean flat white, and dishes like buttermilk chicken sando and tiramisu arrive well-made. The white and wood interior feels intentionally calm rather than Instagram-driven, which appeals to people working or studying there. Service stumbles occasionally: one reviewer waited an hour for a sandwich, another found the kitchen slow to start. Portion consistency varies, and matcha drinks draw complaints about value. Main course with drink runs around RM40 per person.

Space Grey Cafe

Daifuku and coffee drive loyalty at this compact cafe tucked inside a Petaling Jaya florist. Reviewers praise fresh pastries and specialty drinks, but ramen and rice divide opinion on execution. The dark modern interior and relaxed mood suit casual hangouts over serious work. Staff remain consistently friendly despite a tight space and absent WiFi. Seating fills quickly and booking ahead helps. Ventilation and high dessert prices register as minor friction for some, yet returning customers overlook these for the signature daifuku and the quiet aesthetic escape.

Rekindle has built a loyal following over a decade with its signature alcoholic tiramisu and diverse cake range. Reviewers consistently praise the premium quality of desserts, particularly the Kahlua Tiramisu and Blackforest Rum, paired with welcoming staff and a relaxed vibe suited for both casual hangouts and meetings. The atmosphere can feel cramped and loud when busy, and recent price increases have raised eyebrows. Seating comfort is a persistent minor gripe. Still, the cake quality and attentive service keep customers returning, with many treating it as their reliable spot for celebrations and everyday indulgences.
