Pulau Cafe is such a chill spot! The vibes were great – perfect place to relax and unwind. I really enjoyed their Japanese fusion Asian dishes – everything was super tasty, and the desserts were just nice, not too sweet. Their Pulau Dirty drinks? So good and really hit the spot! Friendly staff and cosy atmosphere – definitely a place I’ll come back to again. Highly recommend if you’re looking for good food, good drinks, and good vibes!

Love the cafe! Coffee’s solid, matcha also very “gao”. Will definitely be back to try out their desserts next time.

Tried the tofu genmaicha cake, not bad. Really enjoyed the matcha coconut cloud. Mentaiko fries were just okay.

Nice ambience with crave-fixing food and drinks! We had Japanese curry with fried chicken and Salmon ochazuke, new dish off the menu. Undoubtedly scrumptious and light. Personally love the black sesame basque cake,with butter like creaminess and decent black sesame presence. Dirty latte & orange Americano were on point!

Good music, minimalistic design and comfortable environment. Iced black was pretty standard and yuzu matcha can be more sour.

My fav beverage is the dirty latte, taste very good! The food are awesome too! All the desserts are delicious, new series such as burnt cheesecake wrapped with mochi is amazing and special.

We really enjoyed the mochi-wrapped cheesecake and also the ochuzake. Shokupan french toast was good as well
