What recent reviews say

Empty Cup Coffee Roastery wins over most visitors with excellent specialty coffee, a spacious layout perfect for work or groups, and a genuinely welcoming team. The experience is let down by occasional staff lapses (slow service, distraction), unsanitary restrooms, and issues with delivery orders that carry off-flavors from packaging.

Fast WiFi, bags of single-origin beans on display, and barista Eugene's latte art skills draw regulars and remote workers. Food is fresh and thoughtfully prepared (steamed options, fresh seafood), though some dishes run pricey. Cleanliness and staff consistency are where the cafe stumbles most.

Recent shift: Minor dip in satisfaction in past month: two 1-star reviews citing restroom and service issues; prior 6+ months showed sustained 5-star reviews. Overall trend remains strongly positive but recent neglect of facilities and occasional staff distraction are emerging concerns.

Food and drink quality draws reliable praise, with reviewers highlighting seasonal specials like ayam gepuk and creative dishes such as kimchi carbonara. Staff earn consistent mentions for friendliness and helpfulness. The space itself matters here: calm decor, clean environment, and a cosy vibe make it a natural gathering spot. Occasional noise is the only friction point noted. The kitchen delivers generous portions and thoughtful details, from matching matcha and red bean drinks to molten chocolate cake. Reviewers mention the peaceful atmosphere explicitly, and the aesthetic works for both quick visits and longer hangouts with friends.

Starbucks

Starbucks here works well for a quick work session or reliable coffee fix, with several staff members earning specific praise for their politeness and care. However, service swings wildly: some visits bring cheerful, attentive baristas, while others feature rude staff, inconsistent drink quality, and loud chatter that defeats the workspace appeal.
