First time here celebrating my buddy daughter’s birthday. It was a nice place to chill and had coffee. Kids friendly as there is a small corners for them. As for the interior design, i just love the natural light coming down from the void skylight. As for food i only tested those pre ready for the banquet. And i believes there still room to improve it.

The aglio olio is delicious, and the latte is just perfect for a café like this. I keep coming back for the wonderful ambiance, and I’m sure I’ll visit many more times in the future.

We ordered triple cheese sandwich rm18 and Korean kimchi fried rice rm25. For triple cheese sourdough sandwich, I prefer it to be savoury instead of sweet. The syrup on top was too sweet for me. Maybe next time should request the sandwich to be without syrup. Korean kimchi fried rice was seasoned well. Overall good.

Been meaning to try out this cafe for some time and I finally did today, I must say it didn’t disappoint I think the selling point is definitely the environment. The high ceiling, soft pastel colours give it a cosy vibe, the deco is some ethereal floral meadow style, very aesthetically pleasing. Maybe I got lucky, the crowd there was pretty quiet so I managed to stay there for two hours to do my work peacefully. I ordered the sous vide chicken breast salad. The chicken breast was well seasoned with fragrant herbs and spices, not too salty and not dry. Although I’d hope that it was juicier, but for chicken breast, the texture was fine. I find the price of RM15 reasonable for this portion, some cafes might price is RM20+. I was very happy to see some actually healthy option the menu as most cafes serve only pastries, creamy pastas or deep fried finger food. It’s extremely hard to find real healthy food in cafes. I hope Caro could introduce even more healthy options like yogurt fruit bowl, overnight oats, poke bowls. I’m not sure about others, but I’d definitely be up for it! The staff was polite and friendly, always smiling. Love their playlist too! I’ll come back again whenever I need a nice cafe to work in. Good job Caro!

Surprising find of the day! Lovely quiet cafe hidden in the middle of an industrial park. Food & drink selection quite limited, but what we ordered was good. The triple cheese sandwich was the best , the kids fish n chips was good, except the it was dory so the smell was slightly strong. Yam latte was delicious! Can see alot of people coming here to have business talks or for a quick meal. The service can be improved, they were playing around while preparing drinks. Not very attentive to customers coming in so, u gotta be patient to catch their eye while calling them.
