Best Cafes in Ipoh

Anyone who grew up during the olden times will know what a Buku Tiga Lima is, and that’s what this café is trying to project- a nostalgic moment back in time. Equipped with fun and exciting stuff from most childhoods, you will be walking down memory lane while enjoying a café experience. The menu here isn’t exactly a reflection of our heritage, but if it’s delicious and worth it; there’s no complains. Some of the delectable dishes here are their Crepes which comes in both a sweet and savoury selection. If you’re up for something more chilly, go for the Brioche that comes with some indulging Ice Cream.

Cafes are built on many concepts and ideas, this diversity is what makes it fun and interesting when paying a visit to one. Patisserie Boutique is a café set in a Parisian mood, bringing this beautiful city-theme to our little town in Ipoh, while serving some delicious food and desserts. The menu consists of mainly pastas and sandwiches, but the crowd often flock here for their meticulously prepared cakes. Having a wide variety of cakes, there’s no doubt that this is heaven for dessert fans and sweet tooths.

Across the amazing plethora of food and cafes, what seems to be a little front door on the outside stands out amongst the rest. Stepping into this old-looking lot, you will be surprised with a beautifully refurbished café with a sort of cluttered décor and artworks on the walls. The comfy area provides a place for family and friends to chill across the day. That’s not all they have to offer don’t they? The food here is bound to capture your taste buds with delicious dishes and reasonable prices, such as the Wagyu Burger and Truffle Oil Fries, a couple of the definite must-tries.

Ever wonder how time flies so fast and how rapidly city buildings are rising? Here in Thumb’s Café, all of those are frozen as you experience the olden times in this comfortable haven. Built on a “Kampung House” concept, the interior and exterior both portray a traditional look with a touch of DIY furniture and décor. Also one of the best parts is how affordable the food can be, saving you from all those expensive and fancy dishes. The fan’s favourite here has to be their homemade meatballs, which often goes out of stock, so you better be some of the first in line when you pay a visit.
