Good coffee and hot bun. They have few flavours, just mixed and match to your liking. Price is very reasonable. Their famous Maggi also selling hot here.

Must go and try the “kawen” buns. Freshly baked buns slathered with butter and kaya paired together with runny yolks tasted heavenly yummy . The simplicity of this quaint coffee shop adds nostalgic vibes on us.

Must order: roti kahwin, roti kacang merah. boleh kahwin juga means mix with other flavour. Simple menu. They make their own breads and cakes freshly everyday. It's very clean and service is fast too.

A friend of mine went there to try it herself • I have been told it was more than 50years of business & it full with elderly people (means it has its own taste & quality) • I like their buns flavour. Kaya mixed with peanut or peanut mixed with butter or all & when u consume it fresh hot hot, oh my!! Suitable for tea time or coffee time break •

Summary-60 year old coffee shop for local sweets and drinks. Details- We had the gaya tapioca cake, gaya sandwiches with peanuts, red beans, and coconut, and the egg tarts. All were tasty. I drank Horlicks with ice. Friendly service. Some English spoken. Good toilet.
