What recent reviews say

Reviewers return repeatedly for the matcha and Spanish latte, praising both drinks as genuinely delicious rather than grass-tasting. The calm, cozy interior draws evening hangouts and groups; the owner actively feeds stray cats on-site and keeps prices low without cutting quality, though closure notices sometimes lack advance notice.

Common questions

What's the standout drink here?
The matcha latte and Spanish latte. Reviewers who were not matcha fans before praise ni-cha's matcha as genuinely delicious, and the Spanish latte (with oat milk option) is frequently named as worth a visit.
Is this a good spot to hang out?
Yes. Reviewers describe the atmosphere as calm and cozy, suitable for groups in the evening. Interior seating is plenty, but outdoor seating is limited.
Can I call if I'm unsure about opening hours?
Yes. One reviewer notes you can call or WhatsApp the cafe to check if it is open, as it sometimes closes without advance notice.

A small office-lobby cafe with a quiet, well-designed space and welcoming staff. Coffee and ambience draw regulars, though pastries and food items have underwhelmed some visitors.

Food arrives quickly with bold flavors and big helpings at prices under RM15 for mains; staff remember orders and chat easily. Kitchen occasionally stumbles on consistency: dry rice, broken pastries, half-filled sauces that undercut the otherwise strong execution and leave some diners feeling shortchanged on portion promise. The baozy dumplings draw repeat visits, halal-certified ingredients appeal to a broad crowd, and a month-old business finding its rhythm shows in 86% five-star ratings against scattered complaints about backend glitches. Worth a trial if you prize taste and value over polish.
