What recent reviews say

White Coffee stands out for its signature white coffee and kaya toast served in a relaxed old-bungalow setting with good decor. Staff member Prashant earns repeated praise for friendly, attentive service. Bread quality divides opinion: some find it crispy and buttery, others report sogginess. A few drinks veer overly sweet, and the lack of wifi is a noted frustration for laptop users.

The Camp feels like a casual outdoor hangout where you can linger with pets and find something to eat no matter your taste - from grilled meat to waffles and coffee. Late hours, plenty of parking, and a mix of stalls make it work for everything from quiet evenings to group gatherings, though activity can be sparse on slower nights.

Every review praises the freshly baked pastries and bread, particularly the soft sourdough that holds up well over days. Staff share baking tips and maintain a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere in a small clean space. The bakery uses real butter and avoids overly sweet fillings. Regulars mention the mentaiko shio pan, purple rice bread, and stuffed buns as standouts. Coffee quality also draws repeat visits.

4.3(12)

Most reviewers praise the coffee quality, comparing it to standards overseas. The location inside KPJ Ipoh Specialist Hospital is a major draw for people with long waits. Baked goods and staff friendliness also earn mention, though one reviewer called out poor barista attitude years ago, and seating is tight.
