I came here with my friend to have an early dinner. She was the one that recommended this place. It’s said to be muslim friendly so I’m very thankful for that. We had to walk up the stairs to enter the cafe since it’s located upstairs. Once we entered, we were greeted by the staff. We walked over to the counter and ordered. I ordered soon lizi, kimchi with rice and potato salad. My friend ordered curry udon and matcha. I recommend the soon lizi if you’re into yoghurt and tea, it smelled so nice and tasted very flavourful! I didn’t want to finish it so bad. The kimchi rice was so-so to me but quite satisfactory. The potato salad was nice too, I quite like it. I also recommend the Japanese curry udon that my friend had, it was really nice! The matcha she ordered wasn’t exactly my taste because it was quite nutty, but I’m sure she loves it! We ended up talking until late night because it was very cosy. There weren’t many customers that day since we went on a Wednesday, it made us compelled to stay longer. Overall, I had a lovely time here. Recommended!!

Verdict: Expensive but a nice place. Food & drinks: + Soon Lizi (7/10): It's an Oolong tea with the hint of pear, rose and elderflower, and cream on top. The cream is nicely fragranced. However, the tea tastes a little too light. + Honey Butter Toast (8/10): It's a simple toast of croissant slices, with honey on top. It's a little too sweet for my taste. Overall, it is nice. Environment: + The cafe has a simple yet pleasing renovations. + High quality furniture. + Spacious. Service: Better than great.

It's my fifth time here, and I'd say it's truly a hidden gem in Semenyih. It's cozy, chill & great for family & friends. Coffee lovers, you will love it here, especially if you like filter coffee. They offer different kinds from Kenya, Indonesia, Costa Rica, Panama, Ethiopia, etc. Beans might change every now & then. Their coffee combo (一豆两喝) is amazing. It's my first time to be able to taste cheesecake flavour from a cup of coffee, freaking amazed me & my friends when we first tried it. Everyone really gotta try them!! However. I found the food here might be a hit or miss. Personally, I liked their Japanese Curry series more than their other options. The good thing is, the price is fairly reasonable, and there is no tax!

A hidden gem in Semenyih! Craving for coffee and found this cafe on google, then was attracted by the food & drink appearance and decided to pay a visit with family. It turned out to be a really amazing experience! For the quality of coffee (must try this signature!), sandwich & cakes, and the cozy Japanese vibe environment. Cafe is spacious and suitable for any occasions - be it friends/family gathering or me time. This cafe seems to be run by a family, which I feel it worths the support from community especially when the quality is so on point and owner must have put in a lot of effort. Keep up the good work and see you soon! Definitely the best cafe in Semenyih, I wish you all the success!

Ordered : Coffee set (one white, one cold hand brew) Onigiri with egg Karaage We had Honduras by The Hub (they rotate roastery time to time), and love how they serve it in two different temperature.

Love the seasoning of onigiri set, generous sheet of seaweed. suitable for light meal, comes along with miso soup Fried chicken has thin breading and juicy, marination done right Spacious seatings with plenty of parking for a weekday lunch

Hop in randomly to this cafe today for a quick brunch after the Yearly Tomb Sweeping Festival at Semenyih. Thumbs up for the simple yet cozy environment. A very comfortable place to dine in for brunch and dinner. Not much of varieties from their menu. We ordered a Kimchi Chicken Hambagu Sando , a Japanese Curry Hambagu Rice (with chicken patties), a Dirty Latte, and Piccolo Latte. No crowd, drinks and food served within 10-15 minutes and their food is all above average and I would give them a 5 star rating for their food and coffee. The Kimchi Chicken Hambagu is So Goooooood man! (Love the taste of the kimchi so much!). Will definitely be back for the rest of the items in their menu. Thumbs Up!

Hidden upstairs, a spacious, yet cozy cafe. Warm lighting paired with nicely cushioned seats. Heavy rain outside, the slow indie music filled the ambience. A cup of comforting hot chocolate and a tasty big breakfast. Surprisingly, these guys had Wendy Wander on their playlist, a band so niche I never thought I would hear it from anyone else. I can't help but smile to myself like a happy idiot.
