" I absolutely loved my visit to Café Mak! The atmosphere is so chill and artsy, perfect to work on projects or read. The staff was friendly, and although the coffee took a little while to arrive, I didn't mind waiting. The highlight for me was definitely the dessert; the sweet potato cake was out of this world! I would recommend this cafe in a heartbeat. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week, I had a frustrating experience at Café Mak during a busy evening. The wait time for my food was excessively long and I felt completely ignored by the staff. When my food finally arrived, it was not what I expected; my garlic toast was overcooked. The ambiance is perfect for studying, but their service really needs improvement. I hope they work on this because I do enjoy their coffee. " (*Curated Review*)

" For me, Café Mak is about the ambiance. I love the eclectic mix of decor and quiet corners. While the food is acceptable, it won’t knock your socks off. I’ve tried the garlic bread and found it decent but definitely overpriced. I still find myself coming back often because it’s such a pleasant place to be. " (*Curated Review*)

" A quaint little cafe that feels like the perfect spot for studying or meeting friends. On my last visit, I ordered the miso soup which was dismally salty; however, their honey brick toast was lovely. The atmosphere and design make it enjoyable enough to return for coffee, but I hope they manage their food quality to match their ambiance. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a bizarre experience at Café Mak on a busy Saturday. The food was decent but not exciting—the chips were kind of stale. The atmosphere was a mixed bag; I loved the cozy vintage vibes, but the noise was overwhelming at times with everyone chatting loudly. I'd return for the ambiance but might not order food again. Service was okay. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve visited this café a few times and it’s become my favorite, especially for late-night study sessions. Foods are satisfying, but I find their prices a bit high considering the portion sizes. I had the honey brick toast, which was fantastic! While the food experience has been varied, the environment makes up for it. Definitely recommend if you need to focus! " (*Curated Review*)

" Café Mak has a charming vibe, but the service leaves much to be desired. I came in for a casual lunch and while I loved the decor, it felt like I was forgotten a few times by the staff. The food I ordered, garlic bread, was decent, and the ambiance made it easier to overlook the slow service. I’ll return but maybe for coffee only next time. " (*Curated Review*)
