ZUS Coffee - Taman Jubilee, Ipoh

4.3(197)✓ Google-verified

Reviewers consistently praise the baristas' friendliness, clean spaces, and well-crafted coffee. The location feels designed for focus: spacious tables, stable internet, and power sockets make it popular with remote workers, though one customer hit a snag with a missing delivery order and unresponsive app support.

Chan's Cafe 老陈早餐 • From AM to PM

4.6(158)✓ Google-verified

Chan's delivers standout white coffee, especially the rose-topped signature blend, alongside a thoughtful vegetarian menu that wins over both regulars and first-timers. Staff greet you warmly, the cafe stays clean and comfortable, but parking demands patience and some dishes have vanished as prices climbed.

August Healing

4.3(128)✓ Google-verified

Reviewers consistently praise August Healing for rich, well-executed cakes made with natural ingredients and skilled coffee work, alongside attentive staff. The upstairs Korean-cafe-inspired space feels cozy for lingering, though acoustic issues emerge when crowded and the second-floor location poses a barrier for older customers. Pricing runs RM19-21 per slice, pitched above Kuala Lumpur standards. What keeps people returning is the surprise factor: each cake (Bubur Cha Cha, Ondeh Ondeh, Lemon Poppy Seed) delivers distinct flavor layers and texture. Service remains friendly even during rushes, making it a reliable spot for afternoon tea or brunch. A few found individual cakes underwhelming, and noise management remains the clearest operational friction.
