What recent reviews say

Coffee here is crafted with clear skill: espresso-based drinks come smooth and balanced, specialty orders like the Pinaco (Ethiopian and pineapple) impress with restraint, and the pastry list spans croissants to croffles. The minimalist white space draws you in, soothing music helps you linger, and baristas take care over each cup. But white sofas collect stains, service gaps show (some staff ignore raised hands, one reviewer felt watched), and a few find the coffee occasionally thin or delivery portions mismatched to price.

At RM15-18 for specialty drinks and RM18+ for tiramisu or cake, you're paying for the craft and setting. Suitable for afternoon tea, laptop work, or a break between hotel errands. Worth a visit if you value coffee detail and don't mind the aesthetic comes with upkeep hiccups.

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.

Reviewers consistently praise the cozy cottage-style setting, friendly owner (Mr. Tan / Mr. Simon), and strong value. Specialty drinks like 3-layer tea and chai stand out at budget prices; western mains like chicken roulade and fish and chips earn solid reviews. Some note the location feels remote and occasional drink inconsistency, but the welcoming vibe and study-friendly space keep people returning.

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.
