4.4(299)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

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.

Rising Hours Focaccia Bakehouse

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.

D'Pets Kingdom combines a petting zoo, grooming facility, and cafe in one air-conditioned space. Families praise the friendliness of staff, cleanliness, and the chance to interact with a wide range of animals (capybaras, alpacas, cats, dogs, reptiles). The cafe serves teppanyaki and light refreshments. Standard admission pricing is steep; promotional rates and feeding packages offer better value. A standout grooming service earns high marks for animal care and owner communication.
