What recent reviews say

Visitors praise the waffles and friendly staff, but quality swings wildly. Complaints centre on slow service, tiny portions, cold waffles arriving 15 minutes apart, and inconsistent execution under the current kitchen team.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Praised for
  • friendly staff and owner
  • waffles and pasta dishes
  • pleasant atmosphere
  • good value
Watch-outs
  • inconsistent food quality
  • slow waffle preparation
  • misleading menu photos
  • pricing discrepancies
  • staffing and service reliability
friendly-staffcozy-ambianceslow-serviceinconsistent-qualitysmall-portions
Best for: casual diners seeking waffles and brunch in a friendly cafe setting, or overnight guests needing simple accommodation
Think twice if: you want consistent execution; waffle wait times exceed 15 minutes even with few customers, and food quality varies between visits

Strengths

  • waffles and signature pasta dishes
  • friendly owner and staff (when consistent)
  • guesthouse rooms available

Worth knowing

  • Waffles are a signature item but often arrive cold and flat with minimal syrup or spread
  • Waffle orders of four took 15-60 minutes to arrive
  • Carbonara and pizza praised by some; mushroom soup compared unfavourably to canned versions
  • Original chef no longer with business
  • Menu photos on Instagram and Google do not match current offerings
  • Payment system issues reported (card machine down, price discrepancies on bill)

Coco Craft Bakehouse

4.6(262)✓ Google-verified

Coco Craft delivers pastries and baked goods that reviewers consistently praise, with standouts like brownies, croissants, and Dubai chewy cookies earning genuine enthusiasm. Drinks come well-presented and the air-conditioned space feels pleasant. However, staff inconsistency mars the experience. Some visits bring warm, friendly service; others encounter dismissiveness, quiet staff chatter, or perceived rudeness when placing orders. Service speed varies too. Reviewers note the owner has promised improvements without visible change, which frustrates repeat visitors.

Eden Hall Ipoh

Eden Hall Ipoh

4.3(155)✓ Google-verified

Most reviewers praise the food quality-especially waffles, chicken tenders, and Asian fusion pasta-alongside genuinely friendly staff and rooftop views. Meat dishes divide opinion sharply: some burgers and steaks impress, but others arrive tough or overcooked despite requests. The self-service model puzzles customers, and peak-hour crowds overwhelm the compact space; air conditioning struggles in parts of the venue.

Girlie's Café

4.4(426)✓ Google-verified

Girlie's Café wins consistent praise for freshly baked pastries, strong coffee, and calm decor ideal for photos. Creme brulee macaroons and burnt cheesecake draw repeat visits; desserts balance flavour with health-conscious fruit and portion sizes. Morning service is quick and quiet. Two reviewers noted toast and pastry quality slipped, though the bulk of feedback emphasises dessert excellence.
