What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently praise the gelato quality: unique flavours like sea salt blue pea and Musang King, soft texture, and authentic taste. The owner offers free tastings, the space feels cozy and clean, and staff are welcoming.

However, the core issue is reliability. Multiple recent visits found the shop closed during posted opening hours, frustrating families who drove specifically to visit. This gap between advertised and actual availability overshadows the product quality.

Speed and flavor win here: kitchen turnaround is quick (5 minutes reported), prices stay low, and local specialties like mee goreng mamak and localized pizza with anchovies draw repeat visits. Staff are welcoming and the riverside spot suits families, though some Western dishes fall flat and portion consistency wavers on sides like rice.

Getta Coffee draws regular repeat visits for its signature Getta Gold Latte and a well-executed pasta menu at under RM20 per plate. The space hits the mark for photo-worthy aesthetics-modern-classic design, air conditioning, generous tables, trees-making it a reliable spot to linger for meetings or casual hangouts. Service feels genuine and attentive; staff treat regulars well and hand-make drinks with care. Food quality lands mostly strong (carbonara, black meat rice, Korean fried chicken praised), though a few items miss their mark (tomyum pasta lacks punch, some pastries turn hard). Parking is easy, toilets clean, and a private room handles small events. One voice noted the coffee could be stronger; most overlook this entirely.

Most reviewers praise the calm vibe, thoughtful decor, and friendly staff who customize orders. Food consistently earns compliments across curries, noodles, and desserts, though a few mention slow waits and occasional hits like soggy fish and chips or overly salty dishes.
