My Review – Kumbuk Café Overall, I enjoyed my visit. The café has a pleasant atmosphere, comfortable seating, fair prices, and a menu with many interesting vegetarian options. It feels like a place with a clear concept and a lot of potential. The Flat White was beautifully presented and came with a small complimentary treat, which was a nice touch. I ordered the toast with eggs. The eggs themselves were fresh, well-cooked, and nicely presented with microgreens in a small ceramic pan. I also liked the choice of dark bread. However, the dish didn’t quite come together as a whole. The passion fruit dressing added a pleasant acidity, but it was placed around the edge of the plate, so it felt more decorative than functional. Only when I intentionally combined it with each bite did the flavors really work together. I think the dressing should be incorporated into the dish in a way that naturally becomes part of every bite. Another thing I found confusing was serving the eggs separately from the toast. While the presentation looked nice, it made the dish less convenient to eat because I had to assemble it myself. I believe it would create a much better guest experience if everything arrived together on one plate. Unfortunately, several menu items were unavailable, and I only discovered this after I had already started ordering. It would be much more welcoming if guests were informed about unavailable dishes before they begin choosing. The first impression could also be improved. When I asked to sit at a particular table, I was asked to move because it was being kept for two people. While I understand the reasoning, the interaction felt transactional rather than welcoming. The biggest opportunity, in my opinion, is team training. The staff were polite, and I noticed some genuine interaction with guests, especially children, which was nice to see. However, overall it felt as though the team was more focused on each other than on creating a connection with the guests. There was very little proactive hospitality or engagement. Good service is not only about taking orders and delivering food—it is about making guests feel noticed, welcomed, and genuinely cared for. With more training in guest interaction and hospitality, I believe Kumbuk could elevate the entire dining experience to match the quality of its concept. Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Such a cozy cafe went on a rainy day to celebrate my friend’s birthday lunch and the whole vibe was perfect. The place was pretty full, so definitely glad I made a reservation beforehand. The staff were super helpful and friendly throughout. Parking was a bit tricky because there was a funeral on the road, but we parked at Torrington public parking and walked over. The banana matcha was surprisingly amazing didn’t expect it to be that good! Only wish the quantity was a bit bigger. Same with the red juice, really tasty but served in a smaller portion. For food we tried the prawn spaghetti, naked chicken burrito bowl, and the chicken burger; overall everything was really good and flavorful. Toilets were also clean, which is always a plus. Overall, such a lovely experience and would definitely visit again. Meal type: Lunch Price per person: Rs 10,000+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Cafe Kumbuk is such a gem! We stayed in Srilax above the cafe and we enjoyed the cafe for many meals as well. They have delicious food coming in satisfying portions; very helpful and positive staff, we especially appreciate Kavi for being such a sweetheart. We want to come back another time so we can try more foods from the menu I couldn't take photos of all that we ate because the moment the food arrived to the table, the kids were attacking them, for the good Meal type: Brunch Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
