Superfluous

Some hits and misses at this neighbourhood cafe. We start with the hits. The plain croissant is the best I’ve ever had. Coffee is very good. Chicken oyako don very big portion and chicken was nicely seasoned and fried. Their miss is the sourdough with truffle butter. Sourdough a bit tough but still decent. The truffle butter was disappointing. Could not smell the truffle when it was served and when I ate it with the bread, I could hardly taste the truffle. If they can improve on their truffle butter it would be great. Ambience is very nice in the morning, peaceful and quiet. Parking was okay.

super friendly staff, love the bgm playing in the cafe, and the aircon temperature is just right to beat the msian heat went there for a quick coffee and journal sesh, also had a takeaway of shio pan and bagel which smelled & taste amazing (please do lightly reheat the bread for extra crunch) i ordered americano which taste pretty decent but personally i would prefer if it has a stronger taste will come again!

Cafe with a unique design concept. The entrance is actually a manual sliding door, but many patrons can't figure it out. Even the the toilet door closes so flush against the wall that you will question where the toilet is if the stall is occupied. Conclusion is that they should really invest in some signs. Black coffee is decent. The Portuguese egg tarts are RM11.50 for a pair. Filling is eggy, but the pastry a bit too thin in my opinion. Sourdough, pasta, and rice bowls available. Friendly service.

First, kudos to the owner for their bravery! They dared to open a cafe nestled between two established names: Kew Patisseries (once known for the town's best croissant) and Red Kettle (a “Old-Guard” in Taman Desa). Remarkably, this newcomer has carved its own niche. The cafe's aesthetic interior exudes a serene and calming ambiance, perfectly suited for the quiet commercial area of Taman Desa. During our recent visit, we tried their big breakfast, smoked duck aglio olio, carbonara, poppy seed lemon cake, and a hot latte. While the standard cafe fare (like the hot dishes) is decent, it's the pastries that truly shine. Their croissants, in fact, are some of the best in town, a claim we can confidently make. Overall, this is a good spot for those seeking respite from a hectic day. Just like Taman Desa itself, the cafe offers a tranquil atmosphere. It's the perfect spot to catch up with an old friend or simply enjoy some quality "me time."

Loved the overall ambiance of the café. It was calm, quiet, and perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee and a relaxed brunch with a couple of friends. It’s an ideal spot for a slow, peaceful catch-up. The food was decent overall. Taste of the otak-otak probably can be improved as it doesn’t taste really like the usual otak-otak taste. The matcha latte was smooth and frothy. The highlight for me was definitely the crème brûlée cheesecake. Absolutely loved it. Looking forward to coming back to try their fried sando next.

Located at the quieter section of Taman Desa is Superfluous Cafe. In an area (Taman Desa) where many bakery-cafe are plying their trades, their pastries especially croissant and sourdough prove to be quite popular among the patrons. With modern contemporary designs, there are limited tables available hence might not be suitable for big groups. Love the overall ambience of the cafe - quiet and peaceful. Perfect for a nice conversation. Cold brew black & kombucha soothed our thirst for about an hour or so. The food looked tempting at the next table, hope to be able to try next time. Sandwiched between the more established Red Kettle and Kew Patisserie, they thrived and carved their own niche with quiet & serene ambience within this minimalist interior.

Great fried sandwiches. Good for sharing as they were a little greasy, but tasted great!

I’ve been here a few times and have been always happy with their croissants and coffee. Would recommend ppl to come!
