What recent reviews say
Half the reviews praise the smoked duck, fried rice, and generous prawn portions; staff friendliness is noted. The other half report cold chicken, poor coffee (RM10 wasted), and prices hitting KL-level rates for roadside-stall fare. Quality swings sharply between visits, leaving some regulars loyal and others soured.
Early 2024 reviews flagged the decline: quality dropped noticeably even as prices stayed high. Recent positive feedback (6-7 months back) suggests some recovery in food and service, though one late complaint (2 months ago) hints the issues may linger.

Roti canai and goat curry draw loyalists, though quality swings between crispy-fluffy perfection and soft-but-bland. Nasi lemak and noodles earn quiet praise. Gaps in service and dim surroundings deter some.

All 11 reviewers award five stars. The venue draws couples, freelancers, and fashion shoppers to its quiet, distinctive atmosphere. Coffee and burnt cheesecake are regularly named; fusion food and vintage clothing stock set it apart from standard Ipoh cafes. Staff are noted as attentive, and prices sit comfortably in the affordable range.
