What do customers say?

Diners often praise the local food, especially the coffee, soy milk, and Nyonya kueh. Many say the food is worth the trip. Service is the weak spot. Some reviewers report wrong or lost orders, a long wait, and one found an insect in a drink.

The menu is wide, from curry noodle and asam laksa to fried wanton and turnip cake. Reviewers say the assam laksa and tea drinks stand out. Parking is hard to find nearby at busy times, and portions of curry noodle meat drew a complaint.

Diners often praise the white coffee, tea, and affordable large portions. Several 2-star reviews criticise the kaya toast, a glutinous rice dish, and a rude shop assistant. Expect a mixed experience, and consider ordering carefully.

Reviewers consistently praise soft, delicate cakes at reasonable prices and friendly service in a quiet spot. The kitchen delivers hearty western meals as complete sets (soup and bread included) and reliable baked goods, though pasta occasionally misses the mark.

Reviewers do not agree on everything, but most leave happy with the staff and the calm feel. Many praise the coffee, breakfast, and friendly baristas. The 177 reviews average 4.6 stars, with three in four at five stars. Ninety Guest House sits in Taman Jubilee, above its cafe and between two hotels. Fans name the flourless chocolate cake, pesto pasta, pesto prawn toast, and the mochi. A few say portions run small, and one calls a coffee just average.
