My friend visited Sense Cafe, TTDI today. She ordered their Avocado Chicken Salad and Dirty Earl Grey. Here's what she thought; Avocado Chicken Salad: Huge serving and really pretty with the presentation. Tastes good. Dirty Earl Grey: "forgot to let the barista know how much i like their dirty ", she said. Highly recommend if you like Earl Grey. She got her work done there, hence its a conducive place to focus. Cafe owner, if you're reading this, please let your barista on duty today know my friend really likes your Dirty Earl Grey

We found this beautiful cafe by accident. We ordered coffee (‘Dirty Chocolatey’) and tea (‘Supreme Earl Grey’), as well as ‘Pancake w/maples syrup’, and ‘Original Burnt Cheesecake’. The pancake has a nice touch with butter and sea salt, besides maple syrup. Love it! The cheesecake was absolutely superb! The dirty coffee was very nice. The interior decor was tastefully done, with nice chairs and seating areas, surrounded by nice music. The owners and staff did an amazing job! Excellent service. Wishing them the best! We will return.

This place is AWESOME! Been to a lot of brunch places but the Miso Eggs Benedict here might be the best brunch dish I’ve ever had! It’s incredible. But what’s also insane is the other two we tried - the Mushroom Ricotta Toast and American Pancakes were unforgettable as well! The black coffee I had was perfectly done, with a delicate flavour balance - and the matcha latte was so creamy and delicious. The vibe is great, very light and chilled with relaxing ambient music. As they’re quite new, it wasn’t too busy either so was easy to find a table. Feels like a good place to setup and work remotely for the day. Check out this hidden gem soon before it starts to get too crowded!

Fantastic view from 1st floor. I had the pancakes with bacon and syrup. It was absolutely delicious, crunchy bacon and not oily. My friend had the miso croissant with prawn patty. Food decor was good and tasted great. Overall a good place to checkout, much better than some influencer hyped up places.

A gem of a cafe that you just do not come across often from these generations. The kind of quaint, assuming, peaceful cafe we the local community love and goes back to without hesitation on any day of the week, and the kind you just wish you could just keep to yourselves and your closest neighbours and not the rest of the world. Coffee is on point, food is everything you need at the right proportions (may be on the smaller side for some big-eaters, but for us its just right considering how appropriately-priced the meals are), plated well (fantastic sourdoughs sourced from another beloved neighbourbood bakery by the way!), with serene first floor views to complement our meals. To add to the charm, the owner and barista ladies are consistently genial and professional. Just expect certain occurences such as when food may sometimes take longer to be served due to their lean manpower, and the place echoing when there are over-enthusiastic crowds. Charmed. Please keep up the good work.

Unassumingly quaint cafe serving delectable brunch fare tucked away in a corner of TTDI. Great if for those seeking some quiet time away from crowds. Coffee was top notch and the savoury pancakes were also a delight. The only gripe I had was over the decor. The space was just too bright and unadorned.

A cafe with properly good coffee and very well-prepared food! I think the barista used to work at Afloat in Bukit Jalil. Fairly quiet spot, service can be a bit slow if you're a big group as they don't have that many staff. A pretty good cafe if you are not in a hurry. Espresso blend was from Toothless and saw filter from Onyx on the menu.

Love this cafe! First time visit and had a great experience , not only with the warm and friendly staff, the food quality is top notch with reasonable price in TTDI. Portions are so generous and presentable. Their coffee is a must mentioned too, I’m a long black person and particular on the beans the cafe use. Their fruity profile is highly recommended and the other chocolaty profile is good too. A little drawback is the waiting time is a bit longer but it’s worth the wait to see the nice and tempted food being served. A must visit cafe peeps especially we are TTDI-ian
