One of the better coffees around and barista knows what he’s doing. Hidden behind a vegetarian restaurant by the road side, you might need to park responsibly. He personalized the coffee to my taste and very friendly.

What a gem! Don't be put off by the outside. Enter this little coffee shop for great service and delicious coffee and cheesecake. Enjoy a sunset coffee for a true experience. A must stop by on the way to Melaka!

I have a very good filter cup of liberica coffee. It was complex and fuity. I was totally astounded that it was Liberica beans. The latte was also very smooth, thick, creamy and nutty. The owner was very friendly and spends time chatting with his customers. Highly recommended if you are in Muar, especially if you are they type who enjoys specialty coffee.

What a great place. We were staying locally and this is a hidden gem of a place. Not obvious from the street but go through the restaurant and you find this lovely little coffee shop. Flat white was delicious with great balance and my friend had a long black which was good. Lots of local coffee drinkers - a happy place!

It’s rare to come across a cafe that’s so warm and welcoming. The owner made everyone feel like a long-time customer.

Love the recommended coffee - Sunset. The dehydrated milk used complements the espresso shots given. The Matcha Latte was equally good. Very pleasant place to do a little bit of work. Can chillax here a little too. And the owner cum barista is a friendly young chap. Just love the vibe of this place. Came back to try other non-coffee items. This time ordered the Matcha and Hojicha Latte. They were both good. And I got the yam tarts as well, just superb. Those who love yam should really go for this. Worth the calories. And not overly sweet too.

A hidden gem. Stashed within a little vegetarian restaurant is a tiny cafe run by a passionate young barista, YP, who will generously share his knowledge about coffee, coffee-making and the equipments. Coffee is very, very good , so fragrant yet reasonably price. Noted clients walking in and leaving choices in his hands, must be regulars. Ambience is cozy, quiet and peaceful for a quiet chat or a read with a piece of Earl Grey cake and a specially brewed coffee. There is no best coffee, just the coffee that suits you best - Zhai's tagline that brought me into the place...

Wonderful coffee in a hidden place at very reasonable prices. You need to walk inside past the vegetarian restaurant to find it. They play nice chill soft jazzy music. Only thing is that it’s enclosed and has hard wall and flooring hence can be a bit noisy when there is many people, with the sound bouncing off everywhere.
