The staff here are extremely rude. They are always chitchatting amongst themselves, gossiping, and using curse words loudly in front of customers, blatantly ignoring their presence. I also had one experience where the staff spoke to me very rudely, so I definitely do not recommend coming here. The customers here are also especially noisy and loud.

This is my favorite coffee hangout, with free Wi-Fi and Arabica espresso, Americano, latte, macchiato, and cappuccino. They also have sandwiches, pastries, cakes, bakery items, beverages, and Western delights. It's a spacious, air-conditioned lounge with a relaxing atmosphere for breakfast, lunch, high tea, dinner, and supper, with views of Canberra's greenery, away from the busy cityscapes. The food is freshly prepared with healthy ingredients, and the baking is skillful and done with tender loving care. The service is warm. Conveniently located in the heart of Canberra Plaza, it's within walking distance of a covered pathway to Canberra MRT, with plenty of dining, shopping, supermarkets, groceries, sundries, and electronic and telecommunication services and amenities nearby. It's also one MRT station from Northpoint City, which is within walking distance of a covered pathway to Yishun MRT, the bus interchange, Yishun Town Gardens, and Yishun Town Square, with plenty of dining, shopping, banking, supermarkets, a library, cinemas, entertainment, groceries, sundries, postage services, a community center, and other amenities nearby. It has a friendly, cozy, comfy, and welcoming ambiance for romantic dates, intimate gatherings, groups, students, expats, locals, visitors, and families.

Nice cafe for a Sunday visit. There aren't many people here on the weekends. The staff provides very nice and kind service. Nowadays, you can also order using the Starbucks app, which is very convenient and quick. I love it.

The cashier was really helpful! She helped me check the values of my cards, as I wasn't sure. However, the drinks I got were filled with ice, and I finished my drink in about five sips.

This Canberra branch is one of the friendliest I've been to. The two ladies working there are really helpful and friendly, always smiling; they truly cheered up my morning. I was there for breakfast on November 9th, 2023. Keep it up!

Nice halal food court in the HDB Canberra estate. The stalls offer budget-friendly meals in a clean, air-conditioned environment.

I ordered fish fillet with rice at the western food stall. Instead of serving me a fillet like in the picture, they served me only four bites of fish. This is very misleading and, honestly, a scam. I paid $9.90 for it, too. I will never eat at this western food stall again!

My husband ordered fried fish soup for me here, and the aunty was so rude. I feel that people who work here, especially in food and beverage, should really learn the basics of English. They don't have to be fluent. Then she got angry at my husband because he couldn't understand Chinese (my husband is Malay 😭). We didn't mind that, actually. But when we ordered, we asked to have the fish separated because it's fried and it would be soggy by the time he reached home. However, the aunty didn't do that. So my husband told her that he had requested the fish to be separated, but the aunty scolded him for asking. All I can say is, aunty, I'm sorry my husband can't speak Chinese, but please don't scold him. We also didn't scold you for not understanding English 😭. To the fried fish stall, I hope you have at least one English-speaking person to help her out... We also requested milk to be added to the soup, but she didn't do that either. My husband was too lazy to ask again, afraid the aunty would scold him.

I've only had ytf here because it's a typical ytf stall in food courts. The food is edible, and service is quick. Paying with the NTUC app gets you a 10% discount, so it's quite affordable. The one thing I can't stand is that patrons already do their part by returning their trays, but the cleaner, an auntie with a hairband and apron, sits there like a "Dua pek gong," using her phone, drinking coffee, and people-watching. She doesn't even bother to wipe tables that are wet or dirty with food. The other cleaner was okay and quite proactive, but was clearing the self-return rack. Also, she can take the trays from the stall to re-wipe them on the table (as seen in the 3rd picture), but cannot wipe the crumbs and clean that particular table. Then she moved to another cleaner's table to wipe the trays. I really don't understand! Also, if you're having breakfast before 9 am, be prepared to feel very warm. The plaza management only turns on the air conditioning from 9 am onwards.

Good food, good service, and excellent cleanliness. It's so nice that I *almost* ate the utensils too. (Picture posted)
