BROWNIESBLISS

4.4(44)

Brownies Bliss is known for affordable, ready-made brownies and cakes that regulars praise for flavour and value. A recent incident of staff not responding at closing time despite customers waiting ten minutes has undermined trust; older reviews note occasional quality slips and order mix-ups, though many describe genuinely friendly service and reason to return.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

4.8(35)✓ Google-verified

Reviewers consistently praise The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf for smooth, high-quality coffee and a relaxed setting that draws regulars back. Staff friendliness is a bright spot, though one recent visit involved dismissive service and slow attention, and the air conditioning runs warm during busy periods. Quality varies slightly: portions sometimes shrink from menu photos, but the brew crew and individual staff members like Azreena earn specific mentions for helpfulness. It's a solid neighbourhood spot near Sunway Onsen for breakfast or casual catch-ups.
