What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently praise the gelato quality: unique flavours like sea salt blue pea and Musang King, soft texture, and authentic taste. The owner offers free tastings, the space feels cozy and clean, and staff are welcoming.

However, the core issue is reliability. Multiple recent visits found the shop closed during posted opening hours, frustrating families who drove specifically to visit. This gap between advertised and actual availability overshadows the product quality.

Miker Food

4.3(4231)✓ Google-verified

A busy local spot that wins on speed and space, especially for families. Food ranges from solid to forgettable; some dishes nail it, others disappoint. Pricing holds steady even when crowds build, but booking ahead on holidays helps avoid long waits.

Getta Coffee - Ipoh City

5.0(44)✓ Google-verified

Regulars and first-time visitors consistently praise Getta Coffee's balanced, expertly brewed coffee and friendly staff who keep service swift. Reviewers highlight the cosy, air-conditioned setting with good wifi and plugs, reasonable prices for quality pasta and local dishes, and a calm environment ideal for meetups or solo work. A few note inconsistent textures in pastries or wish the coffee had more punch, but these are rare caveats. Named specials like the Getta Gold Latte, Cheesy Meatball Marinara, and Matcha Frappe earn consistent affection, and the cafe's private room suits small events or group bookings.

Sedap Ipoh Old Town

4.3(56)✓ Google-verified

Sedap Ipoh Old Town delivers reliable, affordable Malay breakfast and lunch that locals return to repeatedly. The owner and staff greet newcomers warmly, the rendang and lemang are praised as standouts, and portions are generous for the price-though some reviewers have noticed prices creeping up and the business closing without notice when it should be open.
