Most regulars praise the coffee beans and latte art, especially barista Eugene's skill, along with spacious seating and strong WiFi that make it a genuine work spot. Food quality is solid, from healthy steamed breakfast to fresh seafood dishes.
Service wavers significantly, though. Recent visits note dirty restrooms, staff ignoring orders for 15+ minutes, and workers focused on their phones rather than customers. Delivery orders have arrived with odd plastic-like tastes. Early visits felt memorable; lately, the attention to detail has slipped.
Recent shift: Service standards appear to have declined over the past 3 months. Earlier reviews (6-9 months ago) consistently noted friendly service and attention to detail; recent 1-2 star reviews cite dirty restrooms, slow staff response (15+ min waits), and workers on phones rather than serving customers. One delivery order (3 days ago) noted plastic-like taste, suggesting possible quality control slip in fulfillment.
Reviewers consistently praise the calm, comfortable environment and quality of coffee, food, and desserts. The indoor play area makes it popular with families and parents. The space works well for both social visits and solo work, though it can get busy and noisy when groups of 6-10 arrive at once.
Diners consistently return for the creative seasonal dishes (kimchi carbonara, ayam gepuk, molten chocolate cake) paired with specialty drinks like coconut matcha latte. Staff warmth and a calm, clean space that works for both casual hangouts and longer stays keep people coming back. Portions are generous and the design feels intentional. Noise can spike on busier days, but this rarely stops repeat visits. The menu rotates, encouraging exploration across visits.
Shiok delivers solid comfort food with portions that satisfy, backed by staff who greet customers warmly. The recently renovated space draws families and groups, though some feel prices have climbed and fried items could use lighter oil.
