cosy cafe around Alam Damai. Food was okay, and reasonably priced. Recommend to eat Pizza or Popcorn chicken. Burnt cheesecake was good too :)

A cafe which is very simple and cozy, food with reasonable price. If you need to grap a good coffee, need some light and simple food, or a delicious tiramisu with some special drinks, this is a neighborhood cafe around the corner. I’m not a sausage person but I like the sausage with cheese. Just a small suggestions for this set of combination, can reduce one sausage replace with a fried egg or some beans? Will make the whole set of breakfast choice more completed. The environment is freshly, full of green plants, recycle cans/pots fill with many types of plants.

Nice cosy environment with air-conditioning. Friendly boss. Food is good for the price. The sauce nicely compliments the chicken chop. The orange black coffee is also good with a nice balance of coffee to the orange sweetness. Tiramisu which is freshly made is pretty good as well.

Was looking for coffee after brunch. Decided to try out this cafe as their exterior simple setup impress us. Interior setup was nicely decorated. Try out their Black Orange and Rose Latte since not every cafe have this in their menu. Both was nice and reasonable price.

Ordered fried chic spaghetti, chicken chop, mushroom soup and a glass of kamboje drink. Overall food is good and price very reasonable. Only setback is the bread for mushroom soup a bit hard. Good service by old couple and the atmosphere is nice.

Opened about a year ago. A little shack under the trees. But the inside is totally different, beautifully designed and decorated with nature theme. Air-conditioned. Friendly boss Andy Lee. He built the restaurant on his own. Food wise is nice, mainly western, coffee is barista style, daughter manages the drinks. The Black Orange is superb (coffee + orange juice) 2nd visit in July 2025 Tried lamp chop and Hawaiian chicken chop. Both good.
