MAMASAB Bakery Ipoh

4.3(74)✓ Google-verified

Most customers praise MAMASAB's friendly service and quick delivery, but recent visits reveal troubling gaps: dry cake layers, lopsided heights, and soft underbaked cheesecake. Staff made mistakes on custom orders and quality appears inconsistent between locations.

Nekmie's Cafe

4.4(120)✓ Google-verified

Regulars keep returning for the salad, croffles, and a relaxed room. The 4.4 rating across 120 Google reviews reflects mostly five-star praise. Service swings between warm and cold, depending on the visitor and the hour. Pasta is the most common letdown. Several reviewers found the gravy runny or the spaghetti not fully cooked. Peak hours get crowded, and seating is tight, so plan a quieter time.
