Coffee House

3.9(108)✓ Google-verified

Coffee House pulls in quality-focused drinkers willing to pay a premium for well-made specialty coffee in a bright, peaceful setting. The space suits solo work and small gatherings, though service reliability and kitchen pace vary; some staff engage warmly while others ignore customers entirely. Pastries and cakes draw praise when fresh-croissants, cheesecake, and chocolate cake stand out-yet the savoury food menu is thin and inconsistent (dry chicken pie noted). Lattes and cappuccinos earn consistent five-star marks from fans of specialty roasting, though a flat white or latte executed poorly can undermine the premium pricing at RM13 for a small cup.
