Visitor Testimonials (289)

I adore this area so much! Though a little costly, the food is excellent. It's the perfect place to host meet ups or spend time with family (with older kids). There is plenty of space for parking in the restaurant's back.

I really love the ambience, with classy and natural interiors. I ordered Hazelnut Frappe 10/10 for me, and their Chicken Taco Salad is tasty

The place is very nice with some wall beautiful murals. The place feels warm, cozy and inviting. You can write some love letters and seal it with wax. Very interesting concept. Coffee tasted good as well as the food. The service was a bit off though. The place was attended by two staff. A well uniformed but aloof lady and a guy in casual clothes with the left of his pants raised to the knee. Quite a strange duo.

The atmosphere is really great! I can spend hours here reading a book or just talking to a friend over a good drink and food. Their chicken pie is an absolute must-try!

The shop offered a cozy, inviting atmosphere with comfortable seating and soft lighting. Awesome plants! The shop employs friendly and helpful staff⭐, making us feel welcome. Personally, I preferred the pastry over coffee.

Frequented this place and I must say the interior really gets to you —- the cleanliness, furniture, greenery, and music all just came together exuding a homely atmosphere. Garlic noodles with cajun shrimp and mint mocha frappe were savory. The Vietnamese latte, chicken toast, truffle cream chips were quite filling on a lazy and drizzling brunch. Rates were a bit on the higher side especially with the food. But good thing the drinks were at par with the other coffee shops. Some plates with meager serving sizes, some even more generous. Parking slots at the sides. Nice ambience, kind staff, and hardly people in the mornings. A place you’d like to visit again and again. And of course bring some friends too.

Dear Joe Coffee Shop is a hidden paradise! The lush green surroundings make you feel like you’re in the middle of a paradise, offering a serene and refreshing ambiance. While the prices are on the higher side, every sip and bite is worth it—everything tastes amazing, from the coffee to the food. The beautiful setting and quality experience make it a perfect spot for a relaxing escape!
