1. Ben & Lynette Maison Patisserie (next to Secret Garden)


A little tucked away in the back lanes, Ben & Lynette Maison Patisserie is set in a colonial mansion serving pasta, pizzas, desserts and with a pick-your-own salad bar, you can easily customize salads and sandwiches to your liking. Signature dishes include Sandwich Train and Charcoal Burger, big enough for 2-3 people to share.

2. Coffee At 91 in Tambun Inn Hotel


Coffee @ 91 has a Korean flair to it with its dreamy colors and k pop music in the background. Absolutely be there if you are the greedy type that want to eat every dessert you see because you can do just that at Coffee @ 91 as the desserts come miniature sized with the price about half of other cafes too. Do take note though if you are hungry and need a good meal, the cafe only serves two very light meals of mushroom soup and Korean Kimchi Shin Ramen.

3. Espresso Lab @ Ipoh Garden


Liquored cakes are Espresso Lab‘s specialty. The evocative combination of whisky, caramel and chocolate cake is to die for I think I could lick the plate clean if nobody is watching. I tried the kahlua tiramisu on another occasion and it was just as enchanting with crunchy caramalized almonds adorned atop. The food though is not as spectacular.

4. Happy 8 Retreat Cafe in Happy 8 Retreat Hotel @ Ipoh Old Town


Designed with retreat and nature in mind, the earth toned cafe has many wood and forest elements. If cafes exist in magical kingdoms, they would look like the Happy 8 Retreat Cafe. The main courses on the menu consist of a good mix of local and western food at typical cafe pricing though the desserts are pricey, sometimes even costing more than the main course.

6. Missing Marbles @ Ipoh Old Town


People not in the know might pass Missing Marbles thinking it’s an optical shop because the original facade and yellow signboard still remains. With child’s play in theme, going to Missing Marbles could be taking a trip down memory lane, reigniting your memories of childhood toys like marbles, bicycles and origami fortune tellers, while enjoying noodle or rice meals at the same time.

A not so mythical Myth Cafe that needs to be experienced with M Boutique Hotel, or at least the lobby of M Boutique Hotel. The hotel’s lobby depicts a safari expedition base camp, and the Myth Cafe could very well belong to the wealthy Safarian sponsoring the expedition, welcoming you into his rustic house with white-washed table mats already laid out, ready for a feast. The pricing is much more premium than the average cafes.

8. Patisserie Boutique Cafe @ Ipoh Old Town


A Parisian cafe that might just make you think you have stepped into a cafe in Paris for a moment with its simplistic and elegant charm. The chicken lasagna was a gorgeous dish with brilliant colors of tomato red, cream-white and salmon pink.

9. Roquette Cafe @ Ipoh Old Town


Assemblyman YB Nga Kor Ming and local coffee maker Check Hup team up to bring you a somewhat peculiar yet harmonious combination of a DAP service cafe – where constituents can discuss matters with YB Nga every Tuesday and at the same time enjoy a cup of coffee. The paper drip coffee was captivating with a sweet after taste while the food was not too impressive.

12. STG (Sabah Tea Garden) Tea House Cafe @ Taman Chateau


With the opening of STG Tea House Cafe, we get to enjoy organic and pesticide-free tea which hails from the highlands of Sabah in a pristine white mansion. I enjoyed the lamb but thought the chicken was a tad dry and did not have the “smoky” flavor as it is supposed to be “Tea Smoke Chicken Whole Leg”. The price is relatively high for the small portion served but the enchanting atmosphere did make up for the imperfections.
