What recent reviews say

Quality coffee and a calm, cozy space draw regulars who appreciate the ambiance and bean selection. Specialty drinks like the dirty latte and charcoal bagel earn consistent praise, and staff are mostly helpful when introducing the menu.

Service, however, is uneven. Orders get mixed up or arrive wrong, wait times stretch past 30 minutes for pour-overs, and a staff member has been reported as dismissive. Seating is tight and fills quickly by midday. Prices run high for inconsistent execution, which frustrates some who value the specialty positioning.

Tingkap Cafe

Tingkap trades on its retro kampung decor and authentic Kelantanese breakfast menu; food earns solid praise for flavour and value when stock lasts. Morning visits reward early birds with full choice and good seats, but toilets need attention and crowds arrive by 9.30am, so come before then if you want the experience without the wait.

Staff greet regulars by name and latte art comes standard; food arrives fresh and portions satisfy dine-in guests at modest prices. One reviewer found takeout portions undersized for the RM23 price tag, a caveat for those ordering to-go.
