What recent reviews say

Staff are warm and the space works well for sitting with a book. Their signature Doi Chaang coffee divides reviewers sharply: some find it rich and aromatic, others say it is unpleasantly bitter and tastes like brandy. Pastries and bagels earn consistent praise, but main dishes (spaghetti, Oyakodon, chicken pot) have drawn complaints about watery sauces, burned meat, or too little filling for the asking price.

Praised for
  • rich, full-bodied coffee
  • friendly staff
  • cozy atmosphere for gathering and reading
  • quality pastries and bagels
  • good value on some items
Watch-outs
  • signature coffee bitter and poorly roasted
  • inconsistent food quality
  • portions small for price
  • western mains disappointing

Best for: coffee enthusiasts, people who want a quiet spot to work or read
Think twice if: the signature coffee is polarizing; mains are hit-and-miss, portions modest for the price

Strengths

  • Thai specialty Doi Chaang coffee
  • warm, attentive staff
  • suitable for working or reading

Worth knowing

  • Pandan latte praised as luxurious
  • brownie and red velvet pastries noted as decadent
  • bagels highlighted as solid option
  • signature Oyakodon had burned chicken in one incident
  • chicken pot soup reported watery
  • spaghetti filling sometimes sparse (one prawn in seafood aglio version)

Most visitors praise the menu depth and flavour-smashed avocado on sourdough, pork chops, herb lamb, and truffle items come up repeatedly. The space feels soothing and well-maintained. A loyal base returns weekly. However, recent visits report staff standing idle, ignoring table requests, and skipping basics like water or cutlery. One party of four got three sets of forks. This tension defines the cafe: the food and decor justify the premium pricing (RM40+ for a main and coffee), but service delivery swings wildly. When staff engage, reviewers feel welcomed; when they don't, the experience collapses despite the good kitchen. Grab orders also arrive incomplete. Management awareness of these gaps is unclear.

Fans Toast stands out for excellent sourdough and pastries that draw customers willing to travel an hour for them. Yet mixed reviews highlight frustration with the shift to takeout-only, shrinking food menu after renovation, and occasional staffing gaps that slow service during busy periods.

Popular for bread and cakes, with standout staff like Farah and Aqil earning praise for warmth. However, service is uneven: some visits feature rushed, unhelpful staff, stale stock, and checkout fumbles, while others highlight cheesecake quality and genuine friendliness. Consistency is the weak point.
