What recent reviews say

Most visits yield tasty grilled meats and fried rice in a relaxed, clean setting with warm staff. But kitchen inconsistency shows: some diners get burnt food or overdone pasta, wait times stretch during breaks fast, and portions sometimes disappoint repeat customers who otherwise praise the value.

Staff member Muhidin stands out for politeness. Lamb chops and chicken chops are frequently praised; fried rice and sausage pasta draw mention. The cafe suits groups and families with babies. Recent concerns include quality control and service speed under pressure, though many report quick turnarounds.

All 11 reviews are five-star, with cream puffs consistently praised for crispy shells and rich, smooth filling. Reviewers call the prices cheap and the value strong. One drinker found the RM10 premium matcha underwhelming, though pastry and ice cream puff offerings win steady praise.

Qayyum draws loyal customers for its mushroom and village fried rice, which many find well-seasoned and worth returning for. However, wait times stretch to two hours even on quiet days, and pricing complaints are frequent; reviewers consistently report paying high prices for small portions relative to other local cafes.
