What recent reviews say

White coffee is the undisputed strength here, described repeatedly as rich, aromatic, and among the best in Ipoh, with standout sides like radish cake and egg tarts. Food quality is uneven: some dishes shine (carrot cake, fried radish cake, kaya toast) while others disappoint (bland wanton noodles, oversalted chicken). Atmosphere and parking are genuine pluses, though waits during crowds are expected and service can feel rushed at peak times.

Shake & Bake wins steady praise for cakes, pastries, and a modern industrial-style space open until midnight. Desserts like Strawberry Matcha and Chocolate Devil draw repeat visits, and ample free parking is a genuine bonus. Service and savoury mains disappoint, though: 34-minute waits happen, noodle dishes fall flat, and reviewers feel prices don't match portions or effort when everything is self-service.

4.3(12)

Most reviewers praise the coffee quality, comparing it to standards overseas. The location inside KPJ Ipoh Specialist Hospital is a major draw for people with long waits. Baked goods and staff friendliness also earn mention, though one reviewer called out poor barista attitude years ago, and seating is tight.

Rising Hours Focaccia Bakehouse

5.0(21)✓ Google-verified

Every reviewer gave five stars and praised the focaccia for its softness, freshness, and bold flavours. The owner YY Kwok, who left a media career to open the bakehouse, brings genuine warmth to every visit; her commitment to proper fermentation and quality ingredients shines through in each loaf. Honey tomato cheese, sea salt double chocolate, roasted chicken, and pandan kaya are standout flavours. Reviewers buy whole loaves to take home and order multiple varieties. The cafe's cozy atmosphere makes it feel like a neighbourhood spot worth returning to whenever you're in Ipoh.
