To be frank, if I were to revisit this eatery again, it would be for the wanton mee. Certainly not for the beverages or egg toast.

Even the ordinary neighborhood kopitiams can easily obliterate this. The soft boiled eggs are way too cooked. And the drinks are honestly bordering tasteless, so much so for a highly acclaimed kopitiam.

Otherwise, a great place for a much more less packed and leisure breakfast.

came for heavy breakfast, ordered food from next door! chee cheong fun with pork skin n curry is nice. pork intestine satay is good, pork satay is better than chicken satay, pudding also not bad. kopi oso ok, served by senior waiter, ppl may think their service is slow and bad but i think they are actually quite funny and humour, just need to be patience haha. look at our table with lots of food!
Above average food. Can call food from neighbouring kopitiam. Toasted egg with bread so so. Roast pork seems to be very popular.

I rate the atmosphere 5* bcos I love crowd. More the merrier. It proves that the food is edible and you hardly go wrong. However, this place is an exception.

Firstly, it is expensive for Ipoh standard. Rm10.10 for a normal/standard portion of their Kai-xi hor fun. The 10sen is for the take away bag. I accept that. I couldn't find a place to dine in at abt 830am, hence I opt for take away.

Happy to see such a busy place. They are thriving and the atmosphere is fantastic. As a tourist, what we want is something flavourful and authentically local and edible. We don't mind paying the extra but please offer us something acceptable in return.

I know taste is subjective. However this is ridiculously not up to Kai-xi hor fun standard. This kind of flavour made first timer traumatic. Very complicated flavour and correct me if I'm wrong, high in MSG. Just not right, my friend. If you ask me to rate, it is definitely below the one in Wing Fat Xiao Chao and Moon de Moon. It is just half a point above Loke Wooi Kee(I find it bland).

IMHO, a bowl of kaixi hor fun has to be clean in prawnly flavours (hor-fun, I'm not good at it and I find almost the same in every stall), chives a must to balance the flavour and the soup is thick with body but clean and balance. If everything is met as above, you get the oomph and wow factor. I found these flavours in Wing Fat Xiaochao (Kg. Pasir Pinji) kaixi hor fun. Moon de Moon is the one to go if you like lighter/clean version of Kaixi hor fun.

All the above are just my opinion during my visit to Ipoh in February 2024. I loved kaixi hor fun therefore, Ipoh is the place to go. Embark on a journey to try every kaixi hor fun in Ipoh and you'll find many surprises. Good day to all.
Great oldie styled Kopitiam. Great coffee. Kaya toast. There were other interesting food on offer but we could not try all as we had just finished our lunch earlier.

Arrived on 2pm normal Friday, luckily not so crowded. Packed with local specialties here, Tricycle Chicken Rice Noodles Soup RM 9.00, Mixed Satey platter RM 12.00 : 3 sticks Pork (Local specialties, usually can't find in other state), 3 sticks Chicken, 2 chicken livers, 2 Chicken gizzards serve with peanut chilies sauce. The curry chee cheong fun with pig skin is perfect matched to the satay. After meal, one can order the caramel custard as dessert, local brew coffee and tea also available here.

Kai see hor fun is very generous with the meat. The soup is flavorful. It is one of the few kai see hor fun that I found delicious in Ipoh.

Egg custard is above average. The flavour is great but the texture can be improved.

Popiah is delicious and was served fast.

Coffee is alright.

Overall the food here taste delicious but due to the popularity I had higher expectations.

Service can be improved.

Environment is alright.

Bought their matcha(RM10), taste like Aik Cheong matcha packets (RM1.50). 😂😂😂 What a joke. This is why malaysian malas support local.
Very good taste of coffee
Have more food nowadays. Service was slow, we asked one of the staff to clean up our table she was basically ignoring us. Nothing great about the food and drink. Time has changed, our taste bud are used to many other better quality stuff already
Great kopi lady that’s specific and attentive. Love the egg texture. Nasi lemak bungkus was great too. Just wish they’d use butter instead or margarine on the bread.

Lovely place right by the river. Very friendly staff, good cakes and coffee at affordable prices and high-speed WiFi - the fastest I've had in any coffee shop in town in fact. Overall a great place!
Not many people know this but Sin Yoon Loong is the founder of Ipoh White Coffee! While the opposite Nan Xiang were the ones who worked with old town to spread the name of Ipoh White Coffee, Sin Yoon Loong was the one who created the iconic coffee in the Ipoh town. I always made sure to get their packet coffee back for my colleagues and also have their amazing chee cheong fun. The roast pork is also delicious and overall i enjoy the authentic ipoh coffeeshop experience in this place. 👍🏻

Standard food but outstanding bad service. Those either shop owner or service crew act like you owe them one thousand past life. Perhaps he thinks that his style but customers don't pay for sour faces.
I was very hesistant to come here after reading various latest reviews, but ended up coming here cos the rest of eateries are not opened on 2nd Jan. What the others reviews said was correct. So if you are thinking whether to hv nice and authentic Ipoh food, this is not the place. It’a very ordinary, made for tourist.

Ipoh HorFun
The broth totally lack of the simple tastiness of what an Ipoh HorFun should have. Super bland.

Beansprouts
Totally can taste the rawness of beansprouts. Sauce lack depth of flavour

Satay
Super tough meat that’s brushed with honey. Super sweet, nothing of what a real tantalising satay should be.

Rojak
Just ordinary

Coffee
Super thin out coffee.
If you want better coffee, go to Sin Yoon Loong. They are the best.

Caramel pudding
Couldn’t taste any milk or egg in the pudding, bland taste. Only saving grace was the caramel and the texture of pudding which was right.

Friendly and warm service. Food are great and flavourful but we find the sauces are quite sweet and the coffee tasted like 50% sugar. We will definitely go back to try out more of their dishes!
Excellent food, roti bakar, roti kaya, wan tan mee with BBQ pork...a few fishes done really well, fast and delicious. Well priced. White coffee is also great. Busy but tables turn over quickly. Worth the visit!

The only good food here is the satay. It is juicy and reasonably priced.

The creme caramel is no longer as good. The same goes to the popiah and noodles soup (from the next shop)

Kopi peng was mediocre. Sigh... guess we are not coming back to this place anymore.
Probably my favourite coffee in Ipoh. The food was good but I mainly come for the coffee, with most of my food orders from Nam Heong across the road. Both coffeeshops are friendly and allow food to be brought across as long as you drink their coffee.

If you're not from Ipoh, chances are you visited this restaurant. To assess the food from a tourist's viewpoint, I suggest trying the shredded chicken noodle, pork satay, and caramel custard. Keep in mind there's a 50-cent charge for using the restroom.
The curry laksa here is phenomenal. Handmade noodles. Springy textures, bouncy consistency, smooth.
Good service.
The reason I come here was because of the milk tea with teapot, first of all it's cute but it's really expensive and the tea was only 6/10 portion in the cup, we open up the cover because we wonder why the cup so light weight, I spent Rm18 for the cuteness only I guess, the milk tea tasteless, I can't feel the tea or milk in anywhere😂The food portion were so small and taste really common, nothing so special and priceyyy, The place still ok, comfortable and cooling air.

Old school and down to earth coffee shop suitable for all old and young. Good ventilation.
The toast was crunchy and its butter was fragrant. The drink is way above average and thick.
This is yet another very popular coffee shop for white coffee. But they don't have many hawker stalls like the one opposite. Most people come for their white coffee & toast. But the wanton mee stall is great, they server good wanton mee with tasty roasted charsiew. There is also a roast pork stall selling crispy skin roast pork. Having some roast pork to accompany your cup of coffee is just what local people love to do.
It’s a compulsory visit for me every time balik kampung, friendly staff, cosy environment, have considerate amount of drink choices - coffee, non-coffee, and fruit flavoured beverages (If I’m not mistaken). But from the website I didn’t find any pick up service available. Only delivery. I forgot to ask in person, but please let me know here if you do have pick up service via website/apps/text so I can just order and pick up to reduce waiting time. 🙏🏽 Thanks and keep up the good work.

Semuanya best kecuali no space for dine in before 5pm, sangat² rugi. I'm outsider, so kami beli set croissant with choc dip n whipped cream & few pastries & drinks. Taste so good.
Nice coffee
Great old school shop lot environment like going back in time 50 years.

The coffee here is the best in Ipoh town with lovely deep caramel notes, and great body too.

Nice kaya toast too, but average egg tarts.

Chicken shredded noodle disappointed 👎👎👎
One of the worst bland noodle.
Sate normal but quite pricey.
Popiah still good, but deep fried popiah 👎👎👎.
Rojak not recommend at all. Diluted prawn sauce.
Customer servis barai. Customer datang, boleh makan buat2 xnmpk customer dekat depan. Dah la kata maaf pun x. Harap boleh ubah sikap tu. Terima kasih
cozy place, calm with river view
Quite cosy and loved the environment. Ordered waffle and they got me a free choc shake! Very friendly staffs and loved both the waffle and the drink as well
If part time waiters no need training please say it. Without experience asking what item it is just walk around. Only one pretty nice girl will patience explain for it. Only one! I know all person are busy working but as am customer first time coming to try, at least what was that food name please remind a sec. All same colour also dun know what was that. Below this photo it is a plane food?

The cafe looked clean & the bread was displayed in a neat & nice manner. Bought a sourdough bread to go & checked if able to slice it for me. The guy said they do & start preparing to slice.

However , I was shocked to see him using his bare hands to handle the bread & he proceeded to use a cloth (unsure if it's clean) on the table to wipe the bread knife before cutting. The whole cutting process was done with bare hands in front of me. Food hygiene was bad & all this is being done in front of me.
Nice coffee & view, helpful staff. Trying their signature coffee, not bad. It's good for a takeaways. Kalau nak stay, space tu agak limited.
Roti canai sedap..
Air pun sedap..
Makan sambal daging die... Fuhhh👍
Good place for lepaking and close at 11.30pm , highly recommend to order Mentolier Shakerato
Rendang is a must try here, I personally like the taste here.

Kopi and cham ice is kaw kaw enough

Just the table cleanliness need to improve as you can see the stain on it

Got free bun , with kaya and curry dipping
When you check in in xiao hong shu
Quite big portion. The American chicken chop recommended, cheese bake rice so so only. Can try their double drinks, one side sweet, one side non sweet.

Ordered their Chocolate Caramel and it taste so good!!! Also, we bought one of their pastries that has chocolate in it. Cant remember the name but it costed for RM7.80 i guess. SOO FREAKING DELICIOUS😭 Will definitely come again here! TQ

Port lepak malam malam memang nice kat sini.
Matcha latte sedap and tak pahit (5/5)
Caramel cream frappe (5/5)
Hot chocolate (5/5)
Matcha frappe - better lagi ambil matcha latte (4/5)
Croissant - very crispy yet soft!! (5/5)

Service: 5/5 (fast service )
Price: 5/5 (affordable and worth the taste)
Overall: 4/5 (just the cafe doesn't really have that much space inside but they have open outdoor space with table and chairs for people to chill)
Had tea time over here with some breads and quick bite. Their signature coffee not my taste while the coffee butter is better. You have to order and pay at the counter.
Open air. Chilling place. Iced latte is fine.

We came around 9am, there was plenty of space, when it hit 9.30am the crowd came in but the turnover is very fast. The food is very yummy, I got the char kway towards eggs, and it was cooked for order. Hubby got a chicken rice. This is a special dish. I never had it before till now, a bit like braised chicken rice but with their own style. The drinks we got were cham and milo o. It's good, too.

This coffee is a must visit place if you are around Segamat. It bring back the harmony between many races in Malaysia. Just like a restaurant in KL name after Ali, Muthu Dan Ah Kaw. Keep up this good harmonic environment. Bravo 👏
Nice coffee shop!
Coffee price range RM 8 - 12 (not included frappe).
The best caramel macchiato in town! Best service. Tempat pun cantik! 💪💪💪💪💪
Just nice, sedap! Mungkin boleh tambah option size cup yang lebih kecil sikit untuk orang yang nak rasa banyak perisa air 👍🏻
Mesti cuba diorg punya bestseller caramel machiato. Saing2 starbuck.

Love their version of ginger chicken rice. Have been eating it since the days of their father the late Roland! and their grandfather's curry noodles
Makanan di sini semuanya sedap-sedap malahan harga berpatutan
Nice place for light breakfast, a classic kopitiam. Love the kopi-o, really thick black coffee. Nasi lemak so-so; only got small portion of chili (not sambal) & hot. 2 kaya toast, 2 half boiled eggs, kopi-o & the nasi lemak RM9.40. Ok for me.
Muslim friendly too.
- Food and drink
Food are very delicious with large serving , 1 set can makes you full already. Drinks not bad!

- Price?
REALLY WORTH It! Laege servings you just need pay less leh!

- Staff?
Friendly!

- Environment?
Okok no problem
Tried americano and their signature coffee. Delicious . Coffee and dessert.
Dah 3 kali repeat. Total of 6 air beli. Semua sedap.
You will not miss this restaurant when going back to Menglembu

Finally bringing my family for breakfast. The review is correct and they have long queue

For some reason, the electronic payment is not working when we visited the restaurant

Food not bad, will come again. A bit pricy though

The coffee and the toast, not forgetting the curry are the signature dishes

I gave a shout to malay owner to take challenge of opening a great coffee spot. It grew on me and to my finds it palatable for her to latte. Usually she would gave a disapprove looks when tried my usual coffee drink but not this place as the ratio of milk and great espresso ahot. This place needa a flamboyany marketig.
I datang dari JB, order Choc cream chip dan ice vanilla latte. Rasa dia sgt sedap. I jenis susah puji air barista jual. Mostly dorang jual kadang ada sedap. Kadang tak sedap. Tp this barista! So sedapppp! Nora bg 5 bintang!!
W'pun kedai nya comei je tapi rasanya padu

A local friend brought us here, we thought it was closed due to the door is shut. Turns out this is normal when the boss does not have enough workers to service customers.

You still could enter from the side door, and order all kinds of bread, toast, bun, not forgetting nasi lemak, sotong sambal, half boiled eggs, and other local kuehs.

Coffee tastes good, toasts are nice, kueh not so.
Coffee Heaven!! Hehehe 😜

Yesterday night i order four sandwiches and today i call up to ask the owner/manager to add a little mayonnaise onto my ham sandwiches, she replies to me in harsh way saying (why didn't you say yesterday, as i already pack everything), Is it very hard for a simple task requested from your customer? What kind of customer service is this? Is this the way, you serve your customer? Do you think, I will be back? CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE!!!!

Servis tip top. Layan customer dengan baik. Suggested place 👍👍
The sight of pastries, breads, cakes and desserts of all sorts lining the rows of shelves and displayed on countertops whenever I walk into any bakery never fail to captivate me ever since a kid.

Behind the glass door of IOI Bread & Cafe are aisles of freshly baked bread and pastries.

Super soft and fluffy, all the breads here are free from artificial colouring and preservatives.

Some are nutritiously loaded with fruits and nuts while others acquire its vivid colours naturally from various healthy ingredients such as purple sweet potato and black sesame.

Customisation of breads are welcomed as they happily cater to various dietary requirements and customer preferences.

Besides bread, their delectable sweet treats including the petite jar of Oreo mango pudding, tiramisu and mini fruit tarts were scrumptious too.

Since breads are their specialty, they don’t really offer other hot food besides the two basic yet impressively flavourful garlic butter and tomato chilli spaghettis upon request.

Moderate for coffee and bread. Service is bad. Bought coffee n some bread for lunch in this shop. After almost an hour of sitting here, Owner turned off the air conditioning by sending message: it's time to leave. In fact, I'm going to leave in 5 mins. If they can hold for another 5 mins they will deserve a 3 stars! Please improve your service for better business! Thank you.
