What recent reviews say

Most visitors return for reliably balanced, well-made coffee and staff who remember names and go out of their way to help. The IOI Mall outlet stands apart for its barista skill, with Aida, Fatihah, and Syamimi earning repeated mentions for friendly, attentive service.

Recent complaints reveal cracks: some orders arrive lukewarm or wrong, coffee occasionally tastes thin and under-extracted, and staff can turn sharp when boundaries are tested. Quality varies enough that a few reviewers suspect either training gaps or inconsistent recipe execution. Still, the positive weight is strong.

Praised for
  • skilled baristas delivering balanced coffee
  • staff warmth and attentiveness (especially Aida, Fatihah, Syamimi, Mimi)
  • relaxing mall location with good ambience
  • fair pricing for quality
Watch-outs
  • inconsistent coffee quality and taste
  • staff attitude issues when requests are declined
  • occasional order mix-ups and weak execution
  • bin access restrictions conflicting with stated hours

Best for: Specialty coffee drinkers seeking reliable espresso-based drinks and attentive counter service in a mall setting.
Think twice if: Coffee quality can vary between visits; if a drink tastes off, staff attitude toward adjustments has been reported as defensive rather than accommodating.

Coco Cafe @ Aeon IOI Mall

3.0(5)

A budget cafe in the mall food court with uneven execution. Reviewers praise the low prices, relaxed space, and occasional decent coffee, but several report watery drinks and staff who seem disengaged. Limited review evidence overall.

Ticco IOI Mall Puchong

4.4(344)✓ Google-verified

Ticco wins praise for carefully crafted swiss rolls with light, moist texture and desserts that balance richness without cloying sweetness. Their specialty coffee uses exclusive El Salvador beans, and the space feels polished and comfortable. But the experience splits: some customers face empty stock during promised batch times despite queueing, staff occasionally seem distracted or dismissive, and pricing (RM28-41 per roll, RM39+ for single drinks) frustrates those who find portions small or drinks poorly mixed. Small-batch baking keeps quality high but availability unpredictable.
