    Coffee was alright, had the charcoal latte and it was slightly salty like I was told, but I couldn't taste the coffee at all. Staff were playing with phones or talking to each other, wasn't paying attention to surroundings. Wanted to just ask about the menu but was told I had to go to the counter to do that. Wedges were way too salty. The burnt cheesecake was pretty good though! It is also a nice place to sit and relax at night with the nice cool breeze and chill vibes.

    Came to the cafe about 9pm. Placed order and ordered takeaway for a pizza and was told that the kitchen closes at 10pm. Fair enough. But at 10.30 they still accepted customers. Huh?? Menu was limited as well as I wanted to try their waffles but was told it's finished. Salad was nothing to shout about. Coffee and hot chocolate was so-so. Pizza was bland (sorry no picture). Overall 2/10. Wouldn't visit again.

    Went here for a quick bite. Order mushroom soup which is very runny. I used to love Arabica Estate but i find that the quality of food and drinks are deteriorating. I hope they can improve more on the food. Really wish they could have lactose free milk option.

    No aircond but ok for ok for a cool dressing night. They do not really know how to prepare cold drinks as our ice chocolates were not so cold or to be precise, bottom half of the two cups were warm. Burnt cheese cake taste pretty good. Coffee ok and the charcoal coffee was interesting.

    Friendly staff. Reasonable price food and drinks but the environment is poor. Aircons aren’t working well, fans were black with dust, and the smell of coal from next door’s korean BBQ was strong. Cups also looked filthy so the hygiene is questionable… Hope they improve.

    Food is decent but waiter is so not professional. Over charged us for order that we didn't even say yes to. RM 50. Then said unable to refund because paid by credit card (duh). Forced us to take the meal we didn't order but compensate us with one scoop of ice cream as a 'token of order misunderstanding'. Please ask the waiter to repeat your order before making payment especially with a credit card. All in all, had it not been for the wrong order overcharging , I would've given 4 stars.

    Limited space and food is so so but overall okay

  • 2/5 Nurul A. 4 years ago on Google
    It is very pricey given the portion sizes. I ordered a lobster pasta and sauce tasted like it came out of a can no additions of anything and the lobster is so small (baby lobster?) which is very disappointing given it’s pricetag.

    Very disappointed with the food serve. Frenchfries and cheese are cold and hard like stone. Working hours but all staff are sitting and eating instead of serving customers.

  • 4/5 Goh C. 4 years ago on Google
    Cozy environment, slight warm during day time as it is open space. Got various of nice coffee options, food recommend go with Spaghetti option. Less people during working day lunch time and the service remain effective and good.

    Like the coffee here. But the toilet facility at kapal Singh definitely need to upgrade and maintain. The restaurant here doesn’t have toilet where patrons have to go out for the public toilet where only 2 toilet cubicle available for ladies. 2!!!!! And one of the Wc can’t flush so can you imagine how it looks like. Those biz owners who rent here pls get the management to take care and make the public facility better.

    Totally unprofessional.. forgotten to serve my drinks even had finished my food 20 mins ago. had to go to counter to ask the person on hand phone.. No response When asked eye contact when ask for my missing desert and when place and walk away...

  • 4/5 Muaz A. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here before lunch hour. Since it's not peak hour, the cafe is quite empty. Tried the Romeo (mocha with special syrup) and Cocoa Baller. Romeo is really nice, pretty much like an upgrade to a regular mocha. While the Baller is more of a gimmick than taste (the taste is still not bad btw)

  • 4/5 Jen a. 1 year ago on Google
    It was quiet on the weekday morning I was there. Nice view, good 5G wifi, pleasant staff interaction. Good place to get some work done. I don't like super cold AC, it was cool enough to be perfect for me. No nondairy milk options, so I had the lemon ice tea. You need to leave the shop and walk quite a distance to find the washroom.

  • 1/5 Jason L. 1 year ago on Google
    I came here at lunch time Saturday , the male staff with pink colour hair keep pressing phone and showing don’t care faces while we are ordering our food at the counter. We waited 30mins for the food to arrive while the whole shop only us with another table customer. Worse cafe we had visited so far. The boss should look carefully into his stuffs.

  • 1/5 Aida is C. 3 years ago on Google
    Order food and drinks, but all arrived late. the other customers who ordered after us got the food first. Drinks all good but our hot drinks is not hot, just warm. It supposed to be hot. Same goes w the food. Mushroom soup only warm. Not hot. We ordered steak n lamb but both were dry n not juicy, over well done. Hard to chew. Maybe we didn't state what kind of doneness we want. But still if it's well done, it supposed not to be that dry. Grilled seabas were okay, pasta was so good. Lobster pizza was So-So. Lobster not juicy enough n not that fresh. The tomato sauce on pizza was blend. Maybe make adjustment on your sauce. Buffalo wing not really nice but maybe it's just not to our liking, but maybe if you add hot sauce or any sauce on side will be better. All food presentation are good. All food didn't reach standard serving temperature. Please improve. I'm dined at Karpal Singh Outlet.

    Their lunch set menu is a great value. Tried the spaghetti which was good, came with very tasty pumpkin soup. Today ordered the Chicken hamburger, very deliciously cheesy! Today the seasoning on fries is less than yesterday though. Lemon iced tea is great too. Overall it is the best choice during our stay near this area. Except one thing, during the day sometimes it was too hot to stay long.

  • 3/5 James K. 5 years ago on Google
    The place is open air and strategically located. It overlooks the karpal Singh drv n Penang bridge. I think in the evening would b better to enjoy the views as during lunch the shades will usually b down.

  • 5/5 CheeWah C. 7 years ago on Google
    You can't go wrong with coffee brewed by baristas from a company which is also owning a coffee academy. Baller Koffeez is a must-try and for the main course, we recommend Spaghetti Creamy Marinara. Also a great place to catch some Pokemon (if you are still playing).

  • 1/5 1067 Shaaran A. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the worst customer service i have experienced. The waiter is too arrogant and not serving customers well . I'm giving one stars because it's not possible to give 0 stars..

    Was a mistake coming here. Was almost 40 minutes before the starter (soup) arrived and only 50 minutes after ordering did the main meal finally arrive.

  • 2/5 Richard K. 4 years ago on Google
    Update Feb 2020. Poor quality rm10 cappuccino this time. Very sour and unpleasant, sent back and they used their Colombian bean with good results. But they need to fix this. Had big breakfast western style which was I'd say typical quality for a western cafe. About rm 25. Bruschetta with chicken ham a disappointment. Original post: Pleasant 2nd floor sprawling semi open Cafe. No aircon but pleasant when temperatures allow.
