Slowlane Cafe

First of all, they don’t accept reservations on weekends, so expect a bit of chaos when trying to get a table compared to weekdays. This is where you can really see how different the experience can be depending on when you visit.nnWe arrived during lunchtime, so it was understandably busy. We waited to be attended to as all the staff were quite occupied, though they did try their best. I noticed, however, that table management wasn’t very organized, and they didn’t even take our phone number when we asked to be listed. I understood the rush, but it did feel a bit like they were hoping we’d give up and go elsewhere.nnWe eventually got a table and ordered the breakfast mi goreng, slow mac burger, strawberry matcha French toast, cappuccino, and flat white.nnThe mi goreng looked the part but didn’t taste like one it was missing flavor, as if they forgot to add the seasoning. The slow mac burger, on the other hand, was really good, juicy patties, and surprisingly, I even liked the pickle and I usually don’t. The French toast didn’t quite hit the mark either; it tasted more like plain bread covered in cream. The cream itself was good, though.nnOverall, it’s an okay café. It felt more like a “fast lane” experience on a weekend. Since they don’t accept reservations, getting a table can be a hit or miss, so that’s something to keep in mind if you’re coming with friends or family. I can see why this café is trending on TikTok, the aesthetic is definitely there.

The waiter offered a free coffee for a 5 star review. Instead we'll give an honest one. The ube doughnut was what saved the meal. So fresh and fluffy and great ube taste. The drinks was not fully what we expected. The strawberry matcha was very mild in flavour. Could barely taste the matcha and strawberry. The biscoff late was ok, coffee taste was great but seemed like the only biscoff flavour came from the crumbs ontop. My husband's pork chop dish was quite bland with not a lot of seasoning, herbs and spices added to the tomato sauce. The pork was cooked beautifully, the onions on the other hand was quite undercooked. My chicken stackwich was good. The couches we sat on seemed a bit dirty with stuff on them when we arrived. Overall our experience was ok other than the above mentioned.

I have the Korean buns and it was really nice and tasty. 10/10 for sure.nnThey do have different desserts that I am looking forqard to try soon.nnI did grab a Biscoff Latte. It is just a normal latte with biscoff crumbs nothing that special.nnIt is a pricy place but overall the food presentation and taste justifies it.nnKiddo

Absolutely loved this place! The food looks amazing and tastes just as good. Staff were super friendly and made the whole experience even better. Takeaway coffee is really popular here the line can get long, but for dine-in there were plenty of seats and no waiting. Such a great vibe — I’ll definitely be back!

Staff were very friendly and kind especially the Japanese lady there. I visited with a friend and we both got food from prepared bakery section. They asked toasted my bagel sandwich if I wish and I did which was yum! All pastries and bakeries looked so good and fresh food on plate also. You can order at the counter or the table!
