CARFE — Restaurant in Petaling Jaya

Had an impromptu brunch here with my partner — my first visit after seeing many posts about this café online. We ordered the matcha banana drink, coffee, shakshuka, and the pulled duck gochujang cream pasta. The café itself looked chic, the staff were polite, attentive, and well-presented, and the menu offered a good variety of options.

Towards the end, the F&B/Floor manager came over to ask for feedback. We initially responded politely, and when she encouraged us to be honest, we mentioned that the pasta wasn’t to our taste as it felt rather bland. Normally, a professional response in such situations would be something like “Thank you for your feedback, we’ll take it into consideration” before moving on.

Which I believe they nailed it perfectly. Coffee was quite good, the pepperoni pizza was above expectations though we waited more than 30mins for the pizza. I wasn’t given cutleries for my pizza order, but when my friend’s pizza order arrived, he got cutleries. Perhaps need to have training and better standardize SOP when it comes to serving? Had a good chat with the boss Ronald too, very friendly guy! Cutest part is they have a resident cat and it was taking shade under my car hahaha. Overall it’s a good hangout spot for car enthusiasts. Would definitely come back and with a bigger...
