Overall satisfied. Food, tea and a very rich hot choc drink. Waitresses are very smiley and polite. Last order at 830pm when we went on a Monday. The only downside is the seats nearer to the back kitchen has foul smell. Smelt like wet toilet smell but they say its kitchen. Anyway we managed to switch the seats and it was great. Would love to see more variety of menu.

Well renovated and clean place. A good place to have a small meals or catch up with your friends over coffee or dessert considering their food menu is rather limited as compared to other places in the surrounding area. Crew overlooked my drink order but took action immediately when I enquired them about it. Food and drinks ordered are good. Charred Brussels sprouts was awesome.

Some cafes you went once and you do not feel like going back. But not Apricus. I always think of their food and want to go back for their hummus ciabatta, chicken curry, and fried mushroom, so good. I love the interior design as well, especially the glass ceiling with natural light. Always my first choice for brunch. Love it.

Great ambience, cleanliness and food. The potato stacks were so good! The salmon linguine was also very fragrant with the salmon being flaky and cooked perfectly. Linguine was slightly over cooked, but everything else was wonderful.

Second Visit: Food still as good. But Potato Stack seems to be missing from the menu. We ordered the mushroom instead. It was good as well but we missed the Potato Stack, not sure if this is omitted from the menu for good? First Visit: Food is great. We ordered the stacked potato, salmon linguine and fried chicken with pancake. Love the interiors. Went on a Saturday night, place is not crowded. Greatly recommended 👍

Unexpectedly big interior and space in the cafe. The waitresses are friendly and very attentive to us. I really enjoyed the chicken don. It was flavourful and just the right portion for me with great vegetables to add texture and crunch. The sauce added a sweet and tangy taste. As for the chicken stew, it kinda tasted like curry to me. Still good though! I think there's something for everyone on the menu, but the prices are a little steep.

Atmosphere was great, new kid on the block. Great for gatherings and also kids. Staff put in effort for coffee art, however it’s not great tasting coffee , too milky flat white in my opinion . Food wise, if you like intense flavours, you will love it. For me , I like something that is more balanced.

Food has a unique taste and the quantity per plate is just nice for one person. We overestimate ourselves thinking is a small amount. Their service is great and friendly. We are lucky to get table without reservation. My sincere suggestion maybe do reservation because it's a quite alot of people there. I can't lie about the price. Definitely not cheap but it's worth to try. Highly recommended. Even if you are on budget, you should at least try their cake and drinks. Worth the shot.

Visited this place recently during weekend for the first time and it immediately become one of my favourite go to places for brunch. The salmon brown butter linguine is super recommended, so so good! The other pasta dishes we ordered were also good, even the kid’s spaghetti bolognese is also nice (most kids bolognese from other places that I tasted were meh - either too sour or too bland) but this one earns my like 👍🏻 However, the maple butter tater tots is not to my liking. I find the combination of tater tots and sweet maple syrup to be weird or not so compatible. And, last but not least, ending your meal with the french toast as dessert could not go any better. The soft serve is very nice and the french toast is nicely done. Yummy!! Will be back soon to try their other dishes. I like that the place is very bright because of the glass ceiling design. Give you great natural lighting during the day for taking pictures.

Went on Sunday Morning, which means tons of families with kids. I went with a friend and we're both not sensitive with the noise so it was a good experience. There was also like a kids play area in the middle of the cafe? I didn't take photo but there were like drawing papers all which is pretty nifty. Just like the other reviews the food was amazing. Love the vibe as well. Entered at 9:05am and there were already people. Food came quite fast so alls good! Bought 1 Mushroom & Truffle Carbonara $21 1 Brown Butter Linguine $24 1 Apricus Black Cold Brew $6 10% Service Charge $5.10 8% GST $4.50 Total Damage: $60.60

I'm pleasantly surprised at how well the food is presented and how good they tasted. Most importantly they make their coffee fresh, not from an instant coffee machine. The two of us came on Saturday morning and managed to get a table pretty quickly. Staff were efficient and food was served very quickly. We shared a salmon cream pasta and a french toast. They are visually so beautiful and so tasty. You can tell the food is freshly made, not like those instant/microwaved food cafe. It's a cold morning and it felt like we were having brunch in winter Australia. If you know and love that experience you're going to like this place. We're definitely visiting again.

Came with a family of 3. Ordered Spring pancake & Fried chicken, Norwegian Salmon Pasta and Beef burger. Very tasty and generous servings, the fried chicken is a little on the tough side though. The best dish is their Apricus French toast, u just have to try it to know how good it is! Will return for more! Waiter was a little off, he just asked if he can provide the cutleries for the dessert and just left it on the table without putting a napkin below them. Place was crowded even for a midweek dinner so best to reserve a table to avoid waiting for seating.

Children friendly cafe with limited dinning time. Popular cafe in the area, food and coffee are well made. Kids friendly cutlery are offered, even the children bowl has suction feature.

The ambience was amazing. Really nice place to just chill and have your meals. Pretty cute they have a lil small area for the kiddos to play. Have the truffles fries, halibut fish with leek and the chicken with spring onion pancakes. Portion was a good size, we were really full aft the meal. And of course the taste wise is also nice. Will definitely be back again to try the other items on the menu!

Located at a halal foodie paradise and quaint area, with an innovative menu and delicious food to boot. Servings are satisfying and drinks - matcha latte/coffees are done well. The halibut, mushroom truffle carbonara, chicken stew and french toast with soft serve which we had were tasty and well-executed. Service was a bit non-existent probably because we were sat far in, nearer to the loo. Tables at the far end were a bit grubby with leftover crumbs. The toilet was also wet with a piece of wet diaper on the floor when we visited on a Saturday evening but we could only blame the unhygienic parent patron who left it there-who knew some people can be so inconsiderate? All in all a pleasant experience for the food and drinks and will return with my muslim friends to try other dishes.

Celebrated the end of 2023 here - while the overall experience wasn't quite sunshine and roses, it still provided some bright spots amidst a few cloudy dishes. The Maple Butter Tater Tots, Charred Brussel Sprouts, and Halibut & Leek were the 3 standouts for the nights: - tater tots were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and I kinda like tha maple butter touch, although some might find it too sweet for their liking. - the Charred Brussel Sprouts were pretty good too - slightly overburnt, but the interesting usage of fish roe and bonito flakes made up for it. - the Halibut and Leek shone, with the fish flaking beautifully, and complemented well with the leek and sauce. Pretty cool that they used nikoneko for their matcha too, had been a huge fan of their stuff when I was in KL! Unfortunately, the rest of the meal didn't quite reach the same dizzying heights. - the Seafood Linguine had a very fishy taste to it (no pun intended), which put off my mum quite a bit. - I was looking forward to the the Fried Chicken with spring onion pancake - chicken was initially juicy and crisp, but the exterior quickly became too soggy for my liking. Had the same issue with the burger. - the Mushroom Truffle Carbonara, though creamy, tasted more of mushrooms than the elusive truffle promised. - Sundaes were decent, but wayyy too overpriced for the portions. (Food was generally pretty pricey overall too, seems like that's the case for most cafes now) Service was mostly attentive, though I couldn't help but feel that they were rushing us to leave before their 9pm closing time, with the last order requests going around at 8.30, and the wait staff going around with the payment machine soon after. Will probably be back to try out their brunch menu :) P.S. - highly recommended to reserve beforehand, as my fam had tried to walk in for dinner previously, but didn't manage to dine in due to the long waiting time.

Food was superb. Lovely meal sets nicely crafted. My friend raved about this cauliflower kale dish and it did not fail. We also had their all day breakfast menu set. The waffle with choc ice cream also hit the spot. Ambience was quite cosy. Service was abit slow but considering there was the weekend crowd coming in, justifiable.They close rather early though. By 9pm was hurrying us for last order. Nonetheless worth the hangout!

Very friendly service. Food was not bad. Matcha was fantastic. Waffles were crispy outside fluffy inside. Side note: So happy that being a Halal food cafe, they didn’t choose to put the label on their google map regarding being “alphabet people friendly”. I feel it’s discrimination to put that label. What does the alphabet friendly label and food establishments got to do with one another. Sorry for the rant, but halal food establishments got nothing to declare about alphabet people friendly.

The Norwegian salmon brown butter linguine was much better than imagined and I highly recommend trying it. The base was very unique and they were generous with the chunk of salmon given. The chili crab linguine also came with lots of crab meat and one of the few spicy pastas I have tried. Cafe was quite crowded on a weekend afternoon so will advise to make reservation if coming here in a large group.

Beautiful ambiance, food was served quite promptly and tasted very good. Great quality of ingredients used; coffee and matcha was satisfying too. Sticky date pudding is highly recommended.

Loveee this cafe. ambience is thumbs-up!! Very cosy, perhaps Japandi + some greens. Food was heavenly, servings were generous. Charred Brussel Sprouts ($12) surprisingly good! salty + smoked Norwegian Salmon Brown Butter Linguine ($23) The salmon is so tasty, and the brown butter sauce, just creamy and delicious. Seafood linguine ($25) The lobster bisque was chef's kiss. Mushroom and Truffle Carbonara ($20) Niiice will buy this again for my next visit. Love the creamy sauce. However, with a high quality of the food, comes with a high price tab too. Drinks : White coffee Matcha coffee Coffee is strong and flavourful. Not sweet but not too bitter as well. My favourite part of the cafe is : It has a tiny table and chairs in the middle of the cafe for the little ones. There are some toys and books on the table. Too cute !!! This is definitely the perfect place for families with small kids.

Amazing food! Love the salmon brown butter pasta! The seafood pasta was great as well. For dessert, the ice cream was great as well. Will definitely come back again, though the food is a little pricey

Very speical menu for both food and drinks. Love the Chai pear milk! Very thick & addictive! Lots of chewable bits of Chai. Pear + chai + cinnamon, smart choice! 😍 Love the Key Lime Pie! Soft filling, super lime-y, crunchy & fine crust ❤️ Love the mix berry limeade! Refreshing and the ratio of the flavours is good! Love the Salmon brown butter pasta! It is unstoppable. So tasty!! Salmon is succulent too! Love the Apricus chicken stew! Soft and tender. The flesh just dropped off from the bone with a little lift. Sauce is amazing too. Love the special oven-baked lady's fingers. Love the maple butter tater tots 😋 crispy all the way. It doesnt have that oily-aftertaste. Maple butter mixes with the taste well too. Service wise..... quite ok. But there is one staff who constantly coughing, and yet, not putting on a mask. He even cleared his throat at the food pickup "hole" at the kitchen. Then he handled the utensils to customers without washing hands. I guess this is the only unpleasant encounter here in Apricus. 😔😔 Having said that, we will come back again for their Apricus toast, roasted cauliflower steak with kale chips, and other desserts. 🤗
