What do customers say?

Diners often describe Suka Kafe as a standout for plant-based Malaysian food in Ipoh. Reviewers praise the flavour of dishes like wantan mee and mee jawa, and say the prices feel fair. Many also single out the owners and servers for being warm and helpful.

Some visitors find the place cosy, with colourful wall art and a relaxing playlist. The banana cake and kopi draw repeat praise. Watch for a few gaps: one diner noticed the menu listing meat, a cat roams inside, and the air-conditioning struggled on a hot lunch.

Most reviewers leave happy with the coffee, especially the signature latte and iced matcha. Many call the prices fair for Taman Canning and say the room feels cosy and air-conditioned. Staff are often described as friendly, though a few visits felt cold. Pastry quality is the most common gripe. Some cakes tasted off, and the croissants and cheese toasties drew mixed comments. Weekend mornings get crowded, and a few menu items were sold out on repeat visits.
