Restaurant

The eatery Fong Ip Cafe is known for its amazing laksa and equally delicious desserts. The cendol here is packed with decadent gula Melaka and the aromatic santan that coats and drenches little cendol strips - how could you not want to try this? Plus, its salted orange ice is a local favorite.

Super friendly boss who gave us so many yummy food for free! Very authentic Malaysia local food with one of the best quality !!! Worth throney and visit!!!

Good place to grab some food all day round, they seems to be opened from early till late. They have toasts, eggs, variety of local food. Taste are OK. Also inside have a hainanese chicken rice, the rice is ok, chicken just so so. Nothing special.

Fei F — Google review

Long time didn’t dine here but seem the food and drink quality is dropping. Surprise that the price is more expensive than food in Kuala Lumpur. Tried 3 layer ping, curry laksa and abc are taste so so only.

Not recommended for anyone to come.Very bad service - We saw the cashier shouted at China tourist rudely. Took a while for them to serve our roti.Roti kahwin is not warm. Margarin with kaya taste weird.

Jessica W — Google review

It's a corner shop, located strategically as tourists' hub. When it first opened around 2010, it got all the attention for its concept, buffet style with Chinese cooking dishes from Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and other side dishes, suits for everyoneToday they've evolved, they have various noodle soup, they even serve Durian ice cream, and when it is Durian season, this place is at peak especially among China tourist.The waitresses own the place. It can be a bit out of hand most of the time yet it is best place for breakfast

Laici L — Google review

The cafe of breakfast I took at which the traditional way of serving. This breakfast was just nice for me, not oily and with one well cooked egg and the other half cooked. A lot of adventurers, diver and tourists hanging out here before their trip early morning. It’s very convenient to reach many hostel/ hotel in the KK City. I think this is a good place to have a short break and to grab some food on the go.

Carl L — Google review

pass by and saw "Char coal durian"(炭烧榴莲) so we went in and tried.. kind of disappointed as it is Rm60 for small durian and doesnt taste too special. prefer the traditional way to eat durian. the staff are nice.

AhThir T — Google review

Ordered one chicken rice, two mixed rice, two iced Milo and one iced coffee. All cost RM28.70. Kinda expensive since the chicken rice alone costs RM10. And there was no soup for the mixed rice. Even though soup for every dish is synonymous to Sabah (or not anymore?) From ordering food to drinks, all are self-service. I'm guessing they also serve no pork, since I saw a few Muslim patrons.

The cafe, named The 1985 Coffee @ Plaza 333, had a pleasant atmosphere unless the customers were excessively loud. The coffee drinks were satisfactory, and I chose a dark roast for my iced latte. However, it still had too much milkiness to it. As for the pastries available in the fridge, there was a limited selection consisting of just one type of cake and a solitary, unappetizing croissant.

1. Taste: n/a2. Presentation: 4/53. Portion size: n/a4 Temperature: 4/55. Service: 4/56. Value for money: 4/57. Overall: 5/5Nice atmosphere 4sure w the best comfort seating seats with this kind of cafe concept. Came here after dinner n saw thy oso serve food so will definitely return to try. Coffee n tea were good, nothing beats a nice room w strong coffee smell. U can definitely sleep here its dat comfortable. I’ll b buck’ as Arnie mit say...

Ordered Iced Vanilla Latte and Iced Cappuccino, both were tasty 🤤 Tried their Strawberry Swiss Roll and Pepperoni Pizza, both were decent 👍 Friendly owner 😁 Great service 👍 I recommend this place if you wanna hang out with friends or do your online assignments 🤭

If you are paying rm10+ for a cup of coffee, then that place will need to be something unique for me to keep coming back.Whether value for money or a really nice cup of coffee. And.. they miss it.The coffee was not aromatic and was on the flat side.Still getting some stars because the place is cozy

Better than last time, food better, coffee better, cafe improved, most table can do work and a lot power plug for laptop, have 2 shoplot. Very cozy and also can focus on work. Staff here friendly too. The nasi lemak is simple and yet delicious. Coffee here is good got optionn for medium coffee or dark coffee. A big plus point is that those stress do work here, they can sit massage 💆‍♀️ 💆‍♂️ chair by expensive brand Zero.

1st floor. Indoor cozy cafe with nice ambiance. Packed during peak hours so as parkings. Anyway, great for non-coffee lover like me with wide selections of drinks. Menus attached are the latest at the time of this post. Can follow them on social media for new updates. For cake lovers out there, they offer many choices of cakes which sold out fast. Staffs are friendly.Do come here if you are nearby!

Tiny space. Limited food selection for breakfast. There is no card machine, but it accepts payment by cash & apps as such QR, boost & grabs only. Food & drink taste good with cute decorations. They provide a wifi password. The toilet is clean.

Normally I come here for the air condition and the massage chair that's it. Just kidding haha, come here because it's a cool place to hang out!Recently got new menu, and we ordered the aglio sambal ijo and the meatballs. Meatballs was a wow for me, home made some more. Kalah kali meatball The Curve. Serious sedap meat ball dia man. As for the aglio sambal ijo, not bad. Banyak lagi menu dia kamu boleh Cuba.Great place to chill after work with friends and family.

Assuming this cafe changed owner, the menu changed & price is more reasonable now.Big Breakfast - RM18Would suggest to add butter for the toast, the hash brown & sausages kinda soggy and the ham is too dry.But I’m happy what i pay for, the portions were nice.Latte - RM11Love it, perfectly made.

This morning around 9.30AM I went to the extended space called “The Living Room.” I wanted to find a place where I can peacefully grade my students’ papers. However, I noticed that the music being played was loud and filled with vulgar words (or in simpler terms, swear words that start with F).I asked the waiter twice if he could kindly change the playlist. He explained that the playlist was from Spotify. He was respectful and he addressed my needs by turning off the music for a while and then changing the playlist to softer songs..I appreciate his help, but I just can’t help feeling disappointed 😕 I know it’s impossible to monitor all the songs from Spotify, BUT if the theme of the café is 1985, I suggest to use the playlist for oldie songs from the 90’s or even 80’s…. Jazz would be amazing.The food was good, the table and seats were cozy. I just felt deeply disturbed by the initial choice of music and the volume. Again, I was there to find some peace for work…

oatss — Google review

It was a nice cafe with a peaceful ambience if the diners weren't overly noisy. The coffee beverages tasted alright. I opted for a dark roast for my iced latte, but it still tasted too milky for me. The selection of pastries in the display fridge was limited on our visit - only one type of cake and a lonely sad looking croissant. Ordered their cheese pizza. The crust was soft and bready, and it tasted more like a cheesy focaccia bread instead.

We ordered croissant, american breakfast, pancakes and caramel machiato and everything was DELICIOUS! 🥰🤤 There is even a massage chair so you can get a free massage while you wait for your order. Best coffee shop ever :)

After a long absence, I finally had the chance to visit Leafville coffee shop. I'm still satisfied with their pastries, which are flaky and buttery. What sets them apart is their flexibility in accepting preorders just before visiting, unlike before when it required at least a day's notice due to high demand. This newfound flexibility will surely make me frequent this place more often. Additionally, their reasonably priced pastries stand out in comparison to other croissant places in town.

One of my go to pastry shop . Its located near tanjung aru beach , you can make a stop here and grab your snacks . Will visit again once in KK

Mardhiah A — Google review

Haven't been coming here for awhile. Finally got time to drop by. Still happy with their bakes. Flaky and buttttery...i really like that they are able to accept preorder just before I pop by. Used to be at least 1 day in advance (due to high demand)! Now that it's more flexible now. I guess I will be dropping by more often! Another really plus point is, their pastry is very reasonably priced. If you compared it to other croissant place in town.

Mandy — Google review

This place is awesome! It's a hidden gem in Kota Kinabalu with the greatest pastry I have had in Southeast Asia. The coffee is also very good and the owner is super welcoming. I highly recommend this place. PS: every pastry I got was damn tasty, so you can try any of them and it will be good.

Rafael G — Google review

Finally a place to have nice Croissants in KK, the croissants is on par with the one i tasted in Paris and Lune in Melbourne.So airy, fresh and distinctive of butter taste..To make an airy croissants, is not an easy task, need to have good folding skills,kudos to the pastries chef's skill.And ya, you can find Cake Bah's premium burnt cheesecake, a lot of people said the cheesecake taste like Tokyo Street's burnt cheesecake in Lot 10. Please try it yourself, so creamy... The cream are lit too!

Good coffee in this area with a nice selection of baked goodies. Would be nice to have non dairy options like oat milk.Owner / operator business and that’s why you will always get a big smile on every visit.

Stu K — Google review

Soft and yummy!We tried all six croissants and danish available.💛 Matcha💛 Original💛 Chocolate💛 Almond💛 Ham and Cheese💛 Red Bean Matcha Danish (daily special)Matcha, almond, ham&cheese and red bean matcha are four croissants I will buy again 🤤 chocolate croissant isn’t too sweet, (yet it is not made with dark chocolate, so it is not bitter) for those who like chocolate, but do not like it to be sweet, you can try this!I wanted to try mango danish but it wasn’t available when we visited. I guess it is seasonal?====Take away only.You can make your order through their insta, they will prepare your order at the time you preferred. Very systematic.This cafe is run by a pair of sweet and friendly couple. Good service!==== going eco-friendlyOne deep rectangular container for one croissant. Their croissants are huge!Besides, they have their standard cup for coffee. I brought my stojo collapsible cup to keep my cafe latte, but it wasn’t suitable for their machine. Espresso can’t dip into the cup as the cup is too big for them. So yeah… please consider this if you are planning to bring your own cup.Please ask away, if you have any question.If you find this review helpful, please rate to let me know. Beyond grateful 🥰

I found Leafville 🍃 last year and so delighted to find that they are still around & doing well. It’s my GoTo place after my morning run for my flat white 🥤and I would also take home some freshly made croissants 🥐. Yesssss!!! they make them fresh each morning😋😋😋. Good job guys♥️

Food - 2/5Service/Interior -5/5It's a pretty cafe. Very quaint. I tried all the croissants but they're just not what I look for in my croissants. It's too soft. They deflate. Even after putting it in the toaster.Flavour was alright. Not buttery enough. Which is so important! The almond croissant was lacking in filling.The basque cheesecake was also lacking in flavour. It was more on the sweet side. The cheesy flavour got lost in all the sweetness.Many locals love the pastries here but,To me it was just plain.This is my personal preference and this review are for those who share a similar palate to mine.I still have to say Tong Hing has good croissant au beurre. You can really taste the butter. Structure wise, eh about the same with all the croissants in KK.For almond croissant, I recommend Limau & Linen. That is the best around!

Tree Monk is a cozy and comfortable coffee shop in Kota Kinabalu that offers a specialized coffee experience. The ambience is understated, providing a quiet and pleasant environment for visitors. The coffee served at Tree Monk is exceptional, presented in double-walled glasses with ceramic cups. In addition to great coffee, the cafe also offers delicious desserts such as brownies with vanilla ice cream.

Reminiscent of Taiwan coffee outlets but not on comparison of scale. Specialised coffee shops are something often disregarded in Kota Kinabalu. Ambience is understated which is a good thing rather than have an unpleasant safe playlist which is either too easy listening or too jazzy forced upon customers. The coffee was served with a double walled glass and a pair of ceramic cups. Better than great coffee. The Brownie with vanilla ice cream on the side was memorable. Well worth a second visit.

Baladino — Google review

Cozy, comfortable and quiet environment. By the time I visited it was not crowded. You will feel like visiting a cafe in a rural area due to the cafe design. In terms of coffee, it is above average but I like the cakes. I tasted mango cheese and carrot cake, both were good. Roasted coffee beans can also be purchased here. Service is good and parking is not an issue at all.

Chester W — Google review

A nice & modern coffee shop with a friendly barista. The coffee were brewed well & able to bring out the flavor notes. Recommended

Shukri M — Google review

Since they have updated and changed to a new menu, I’ve been a fan of their chili beans meal, comes with egg, minced chicken meats in slightly spicy tomatoes paste together with hints of spices such as rosemary and thymes. Other than that, the baristas Allen, Sam and the manager Wilson are friendly people though people sometime judge them by the cover of the book lol. They’re known for their passion in coffee making and sometime you’ll encounter some rare beans from the regular customers and they’re having their little secret tasting event ongoing. Another specialty of them is the in-house HAND DRIP COFFEE. Sometimes it is not easy to find hand-drip coffee as baristas in town rely on Espresso Machine mostly. Events such as secondhand book from The Northern Bookman (in collab with Rotaract Club Likas Bay) and other florists or handcraft makers sometime take place at here to showcase their products.

Very nice interior by mxm sheilaService was very good1. Drinks not bad, tried their chocolate drink, greentea latte, mojito.2. Served very nice brownie with icecream too which cost rm15. Icecream not to sweet to match with the warm thick choc brownie.3. Breakfast plate was so so. Served homemade burger patty.4. Sandwich so so.5. Red velvet so so.

Yin Y — Google review

Coffee is smooth and nicely crafted. Food choices are limited, thence I ordered the signature sandwich which is not bad. They used sourdough and the chicken patty was seasoned well.

Gan W — Google review

A cafe unlike any other in KK: you can get your regular (iced) coffees here, but there’s also a wide range of other experimental brews available, like iced drip brew. Staff will happily recommend you a type of bean. Nice seating as well, with great air con. Highly recommend.

Bakery

Butter & Batter Bakery in Penampang has been serving up top-notch croissants for over three years, setting a high standard for quality in the area. While they offer a diverse menu of pastries, it's their croissants that steal the show. From classic options to innovative creations like cronets and sandwich-friendly choices, there's something for every taste.

The Croissants are delicious including the healthy Wholemeal Bread but, may need to improve on the Beverages thou. Would I recommend this place? Yes, for the Bread and Pastries only (ranging from RM4.50 and above). A small space to chill just for a while as it has limited seat.

Ordered pain au chocolat (don’t ask me how to pronounce this🤣) and bechamel chicken pie both are so good.Less 1 star for the coffee. Err dunno if they put double shot in there. But defo didn’t feel any caffeine in that latte. 🥹 su sad 😭Definitely will be back for the croissants 🥐

Their croissant taste okay, quite a big size. Pan au chocolate taste okay, not so much amount of chocolate inside, quite stingy with the chocolate I guess. Their bomboloni was okay. Their cromboloni looks nice but in term of the taste, it was okay laa.

There’s a small outlet in damai but this one is much bigger w 3 tables so not for big groups. Croissant cheaper here thn other places n tasted good. How much better can u cook an empty bread it’s basically the glaze on the top dat determines which1 is better. A large variety of pastries to choose from but seems like an odd location

PrinceT — Google review

The coffee was just ok, but the pastries were heavenly. You should try the cromboloni and bombolone if you have a sweet tooth. They were amazing. However, if you love something savoury, you should definitely try the Australian beef and cheese pie. You can literally feel beef and cheese just dancing in your mouth in such perfect symphony!! The only thing I have an issue is that the place is quite small and have very limited seating area. Other than that, I can say that I had an amazing time there. Kudos to the pastry chef

Daryl J — Google review

Croissants pastries is their specialty! I got the Plain Croissant, Almond Croissant, Pain Au Choc Croissant, Cronet and Beef Pie* (*they asked if I want it warm - I said yes and they place it in the oven or microwave, I think). All tastes great - definitely using high quality ingredients and I believed the bakers practiced high standards of quality control. Most of all, I like that the tastes were not overpowered by sugar. Price range of pastries starts from RM3.50 onwards.5 stars for the pastries 👍🏼I highly recommend takeaways only as dine-in space are very limited (max 7‐9 pax in one time). Parking also very limited as this shop situated in the middle of housing area. Best to come carpooling with friends or e-hailing. 4 stars for the limited dine-in space and parking space.

Love the Iced Mocha and is the kind that I would enjoy. Thick & bitter kind 😋Cronets are best served fresh. Nice smooth filling, not too sweet, my kinda thing 👍🏼I also had the ham & cheese croissant, apple cinnamon danish, mango danish and an almond chocolate one. Love all of these except the almond chocolate were too sweet for me 🙈. The others were just nice. Crispy and flaky, full of flavors and not too overpowering.

Mas L — Google review

Best croissants in KK so far. I've tried all hyped up outlets but this is the only one that successfully retains the flaky crisp layers and balances it off with a subtle butter aroma.The plain croissants would be the best thing they have there, other flavours are mere distractions from the well crafted pastry.Congratulations Jeffrey and Janice. Just keep making good quality croissants. 👌🥳👍

M W — Google review

Croissant is giant big and is just RM7 unlike other place. Even thought the pastry cool down long time but still crunchy and flaky. There is plain croissant, peanut, almond chocolate, ham & cheese croissant, truffle mushroon Danish and many more.

Ng C — Google review

Pastries, cronets and croissants were all fresh-from-oven. The custard filling cronets are the bomb. No wonder a lot of people came in for take out of their freshly baked pastries.However the croissants were lacking in buttery smell and taste. Hope they’d improve on that. Definitely taste better than both One Roof cafe and Savour Pastries.

The Oak Street is a versatile cafe that excels in multiple areas, serving as both a coffee shop and a bakery. Despite the potential challenges of this combination, they establish boundaries to maintain high quality. They offer a decent croissant and delightful Pandan Matcha Latte with appealing flavors that leave you craving for more. The Lychee Rose Cake surprises with its perfect level of sweetness, while the Giant Croissant impresses with its fluffy texture that melts in your mouth.

First time visiting this cafe. This cafe surrounded with office and clinic and it is not visible from main road. Surprisingly inside the cafe is cozy and they offer lots of food and drink choices. Highly recommend their Basque Burnt Cheesecake and New York Cheesecake! It is nicely baked and taste superb. As for the tiramisu cake, it is dry and not as good as I thought. Also ordered the Houjicha Latte and taste very nice.

It’s me and my girlfriend’s first time visiting here and we spent a few hours. The foods are good, however if you wanted your long black to be rich, you can ask for another shot of espresso. Carrot cake is delicious! I think this cafe main focus is their own cakes and drinks actually. Lunch menu was average. Ambience was great. I’d come again :)

Their Pandan Matcha Latte was a delightful blend of flavors that left me craving for more.The Lychee Rose Cake was a delightful surprise … not too sweet, just perfect.And that Giant Croissant … Pure fluffiness that melted in my mouth.The cafe wasn't crowded, offering the perfect privacy for a peaceful moment. The soft ambience added to the calming experience.While their cake and Danish were divine, I do hope they consider adding hot dishes like pasta or a hearty big breakfast to their menu.

The ambient is cozy, dimmed and dark! We went on a Wednesday night so not as crowded, because I hear it's usually packed on on Fridays & weekends.Food & beverages standardly priced. We had the beef brisket croissant, chocolate caramel, tiramisu & carrot cake. The drinks are so-so, he croissant is flaky and the desserts are mediocre.

1. As a parent, I find this restaurant lacking in baby-friendliness. The baby chairs are not at a standard height, causing discomfort for my baby and resulting in bumps on the table.2. The food here is inconsistent, often either too bland or overly salty.3. The service was poor; we had to fetch our own baby chair, and the staff lacked proper attitude, never smiling or speaking courteously, which falls below the standards expected at any restaurant.Overall, our experience at this cafe was disappointing.

Jon 6 — Google review

The location of this cafe is pretty hidden. What I mean is that it is not immediately visible from any main road. So it is quiet and peaceful.Once you've entered the cafe, you'll be promptly greeted with plenty of Christmas decor accompanied with jazzy Christmas music. Quiet and enjoyable for a relaxing afternoon or morning breaks.Plenty of choices for coffee or tea lover. Also theres some juicy options for those who prefer orange, apple, carrot and watermelon. For desserts, there is some cheesecake, tarts, and alot of people ordered the croissant. That is what I got along with a mocha. I love bar tables, and they have not 1, not 2, but 3 bar tables. Two which have charging outlet easily accesible. Perfect for those who needs a place to recharge.Croissant was tasty. Crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. The salted caramel was great. I was looking at other peopke's croissant while eating mine. The inside varies, so you could get you croissant with different fillings. Give it a try when you visit. The croissaint's texture is enjoyable.While the mocha is nice but I think it could be a bit more concentrated. However, the coffee was quite fragrant. I like the smell of it, a little sweet and a hint of coffee and chocolate.

It’s a nice cafe. Opens at 10am but the barista came in at 11am. We were here only for coffee before having to head to another meeting.Warning ⚠️ they only use fresh milk and no alternative milk, so may not be the best place if you’re lactose intolerant.

A secluded ground floor Outlet stuck in the middle of a row of Shop-Offices.This spot will need others to inform and shared location as otherwise looking for it pose a challenge. :)Interior decor and atmosphere is great for an afternoon coffee when catching up with old buddies....

Always been a regular at this cafe for their cakes and pastries. I recently tried their chicken ham cheese croissant and it was so so good, the best!! The croissant is soft and flaky and the ham is smokey and flavourful. The boss is also very kind, customer service also good. A bit expensive but I can say it's actually very reasonable since they use quality ingredients to make their foods/drinks. Will always come back here!

A small coffee shop at Pavilion, Bundusan (1st. Floor, same row with Pizza Hut, Bundusan). This cafe also serve cakes, healthy sandwiches and bowl.I've tried the Shrimp Bowl - Soba with their homemade blackpepper sauce. Shrimps seasoned and cooked perfectly but the sauce is kinda sweet, not smooth and can't even taste the blackpepper 😅. Hope they will improve it because I vote 3 Stars for food experience 😅Coffee is good and strong! Recommended for those who loves a quiet place for coffee ❤😊... like me. So, I will visit again for coffee ☕😄

Bakery

Aprileaf Bakery Cafe stands out among the numerous bakeries in Sabah due to its skillfully crafted croissants, which are freshly baked and reasonably priced. This quaint and welcoming cafe offers some of the finest French pastries in Penampang District. Customers can indulge in delightful dishes such as BBQ smoked duck and broccoli quiche, as well as a tuna croissant sandwich.

First try on Cromboloni and I’m instantly hooked, their Salted Caramel Cromboloni has crispy outer layers with fluffy inner texture, the cream fillings are oozing out as you bite into it! Not sweet nor greasy, just another absolute fine piece of baked goods! Like the small details of how they show suggestion on reheating their pastries.Sold at RM12.90 each. Given the price hike everywhere I would still rather pay for this than have Chagee or Ice Shave, knowing the complexity of baking pastries.The interior design is rather simple yet aesthetic, and it has a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. 4 star due to locating on 1st floor which might not be easily accessible for anyone with mobility issues.Was around the area so decided to drop-by and order a takeaway and boy I’m glad I made the right decision! Looking forward to try their Salted Egg pastry.

Ordered via grab on pastries and SPANISH HOT LATTE and this is at RM19.50 for this small. This small cost me RM19.50. My my my myyyy.... a small cup for RM19.50.

1. Taste: 4/52. Presentation: 4/53. Portion size: 4/54 Temperature: 3/55. Service: 2/56. Value for money: 1/57. Overall: 3/5Croissant, i guess is their main pastry here n for many, we always associate the croissant with France perhaps they made it famous. Croissant did not originate in France but from an Austrian city of Vienna way back in the 13 century, yup it’s dat old. the average price of croissants in paris is €1.75 RM8.74 n in aprileaf its a whopping RM12. M not sure how they justify the high price tag but the croissants is nice no doubt about it n i guess if u must hv a croissant or die thn RM12 is not an option to debate with.Located on the 1st floor, fully ac, its inviting although i wld hv a different approach as to where i place my counter. Deco is basic wat is important is the food. The kitchen window as u walk towards the privy is on your left n u get to see how thy prepare n make the croissant. Overall, a nice quiet place to drink, eat n chit chat. It has potential just lower the price.

Quaint little cafe that is quiet and friendly.One of the best fresh French pastries in Penampang District.I got the BBQ smoked duck and broccoli quiche and Tuna croissant sandwich.The quiche was wonderful and the crust was a rich buttery and crunchy.The croissant was delicious, layers of buttery goodness! Both were excellent.Service was pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable.

Their croissants are so so good, buttery and flaky. Tried the red bean matcha, and the salted caramel ones, it was heaven in a bite. Although a tad bit pricier, but heyyy croissants aren't exactly easy to make, and these are indeed delectable. Must give this a try if you're passing through. I'll definitely drop by again to try other stuff.

At Hazukido Bakery Imago KK, customers can find a delightful assortment of freshly baked pastries that stimulate the olfactory senses. The trays include Butter and Wholemeal Croissants, both offering unique flavors. The traditional Butter Croissant caters to those with a preference for classic French pastry consumption, while the Wholemeal Croissant appeals to individuals who enjoy nutty undertones.

Great croissants, freshly made every day with variety tastes! They seem to go pretty quick , however, we would normally come before closing and able to avoid any queue. Otherwise , as with any good places the queue gets pretty long, but there are a few people rotating to help and make the queue go fast

Fatima K — Google review

Try it once and then move on to better independent local options.I regret to inform everyone that the quality of their croissants and service is not on par with their other outlets; local and abroad.🥐 small, inconsistent and overpriced. They make it on-site without a quality control manager.🧭 seemingly over-staffed but slow to process customer orders, hence long queue times.On a positive note, for your first time trying them, it would be nice to pair it with a cup of starbucks coffee to complete your mall experience.

We got a pack of 6 for RM60 hahaha. Tbh i dun get the hype, the best one was probably the garlic one cz the pastry is v flaky, airy and soft and also the brown sugar Boba mochi one cz chewy n sweet, priced ~rm14 and ~rm11 respectively. Lastly, the premium durian one was weird af. Two things that shan't go tgt tbhIt's nt worth the hefty price tag hahaha try once then nvr again 🙈.

There were a few varieties of croissants and it smelled really good. Service was quick and staffs were really friendly. Obviously, we had to try the Premium Durian Custard Croissant.The durian custard was really good! The custard was light and silky with a strong fresh durian taste. They were not stingy about the filling. The croissant was alright. It wasn’t as buttery and flaky but it was still quite good.

Varissa Y — Google review

Have been eyeing for this shop for quite sometimes. Went during weekdays as weekend usually got this super long queue. Quite surprised with the price difference between other branch in KL. Alas, I've tried several flavors. Brown sugar mochi croissant and cinnamon croffle were good though the croffle was a bit hard to eat. Other flavors like honeycomb croissant, spicy mentai croissant and buttery croffle were so-so.

Tbh not so bad, I like the croissant so much and all if them are actually freshly baked so i can understand why they need to take time in making them, everything else was just okay. Although i had to go in line for a long time but i cannot blame them as I chose to do so myself.

Salted egg yolk croissant that taste more like custard croissant as it's sweet. However it still taste ok and the look is good.Menu was quite creative as it's presented with a table of real croissants.The size is a normal croissant thus can take it as tea time.

Bad croissants, bad coffee, bad environment. Came with high hopes and sadly it can’t even reach the bare minimum cafe standard.Croissants are soggy and not flaky at all.Coffee are over extracted and “dirty”.It’s just not right in every aspect. Need much improvement if want to sell the croissants at a premium. Definitely no next time. 😐

I went to this ‘DROP DEAD GORGEOUS KIOSK’ to try their ‘WORLD CRUNCHIEST CROFFLES’ last night. It was around 9.30pm, my gf and I ordered two croffles and everything went smoothly until this one staff meyampuk, “order la 3, sebab ada tinggal tiga lagi dough”. Then I said it’s okay, we just want TWO croffles. Then, the co-owner came from the back side of their kiosk while we were waiting and said, “ALANG ALANG LAH BAH…… bla3” to the staff while side-eyeing us. I mean… Yo, you just opened your new business a month ago and you have the audacity to behave that way? Is that how you treat your customers? and why did you put your inability to finish your daily stock on us? Seriously Anthea, you wouldn’t be there if not because of your customers.Thanks.100% not recommended. Awas kena side eye kamu nanti.

Bought this 2 days ago. The croffle is very good. Crispy, buttery and the toppings are nice but it is a bit small for the price. We had Bueno Bueno and milk chocolate. A few gripes though;1. The order took quite long. 15+ minutes. There was only 1 other person before me and I noticed that the workers were only using 1 waffle maker when there were 3 and only making 2 croffles at a time. So imagine me waiting for the previous order for 4 croffles before mine.2. There were 3 workers. 1 manning the till and was counting receipts, 1 manning the waffle machine and 1 putting the topping on. The one putting the topping was the only one without an apron. I'd think if all 3 or even 2 waffle makers were on, the 2nd person can also put toppings whilst waiting for the croffles to cook. Will be faster I'd assume.3. You only get a proper box if you buy 4 and a half open thingy for anything less. Imagine me juggling 2 of these that we wanted to bring home. Very fiddly.I understand it's still new and hopefully will get better but hearing how the load was much higher on weekends, I salute those customers.

It's an ice cream stall located inside ITCC, and near the center ground floor of the mall.Firstly, I can say the staff is friendly. You can order and eat there as well, there has high stool like bar style for you to sit aside.I ordered the "Dreamer Lychee" ice cream in a cup, which was recommended by the cashier.Overall it tastes delicious, the ice has texture and feels soft, melts in your mouth 👄 cost Rm15.80Definitely can try but not everyday makan la ya if you're worry about your wallet. 💸

Kita puji dulu ah.The cashier friendly. And i like friendly people over the counter, at least you know they wont be annoyed with my tendency of being pain in the arse when choosing what i want. I knew i don’t like milk chocolate & lotus, so i asked if i could change it, the cashier told me of course i could custom my order. Ok thats what i want. Suka sia cashier yg senyum ja trus ceria hidup sia yg dull ni lolWaiting time: ok ja. Sbb tapau juga kan, so i go for shopping kejap then when i’m back, its ready jadi not too long juga la rasa menunggu. And again, hehe cashier blg thank you pls come again dengan nada yg happy. THE TONE IS IMPORTANT OK!Now, here comes the not so puji la. Im expecting croffles with that price, it should be consistent la ba kan. 4 of the croffles, only two that was acceptable. It supposed to be fluffy on the inside, tapi seems like people only focus on the “crunchy” part. This made from croissant dough and pressed to be waffle shape, so it should have the texture of croissants. Quite disappointed juga la. But nasib baik yang other two was ok, ada jga fluffy sikit but not too much.Nasib habis juga la tu la x gmbr hehe plus Pricey pla ni 😂 but hope the owner buli baca and try to R&D again la. The price should match up with the texture & taste. Tu inside dia, really… kasi fluffy, it really will change the whole experience of having a croffle 😊

Dropped by to buy a box of 4. Finished in 5 minutes. Then i went back again to buy another box of 4 (couple's combo). All is really good as marketed! Wanted to try the chocolate Belgian but it was not available. The staff recommended the new Mango harum Manis. It's really good! Not too sweet & can really taste the mangoes. Just like mangga susu kkcity.The croffles are super crunchy & the milk chocolate is my new favourite 😍. The ingredients they use is memang premium. The milk chocolate is not sweet; which is good.Kudos to Ice Dream Factory.

If you're a fan of cendol, you'll love the innovative twists that Cendol Kota Kinabalu has to offer. While the classic bowl is always a treat, they take it up a notch by adding pearls reminiscent of those found in bubble teas.
