Calanthe Art Cafe

Really enjoyed the food here! The laksa was super flavorful, and I liked that you can adjust the spiciness by adding chili. The chicken ponteh had a nice, home-cooked feel to it, which was comforting. The vibe of the place is really chill with an old-school charm. Also, the sweet sago with gula Melaka was such a treat. Definitely worth checking out!

I had a lovely breakfast here. The coffee was great too. They have an interesting coffee menu with different styles of coffee from the different regions of Malaysia. Very reasonable prices.

Hi! These are my experiences after coming here 4 times, with families and friends!! :DBefore that, this shop serves alcohol but there's NO PROK NO LARD and a lot of muslim customers eat here. If you're unsure, don't eat here. End of story.1. Order by scanning qr. You can ask the waiter if you're unsure or have questions. They are all friendly and professional. I started coming here from 2022 until 2025. Not much has changed, but come on weekdays on noon/afternoon for less crowd (there will still be crowd sometimes so it depends on your luck, really).2. The Claypot Asam Pedas Fish with rice is SO GOOD! I ordered it every time I came here. Throughout the years, the quality stays the same, but I feel like they had increased the portion, which was pleasant. The buttermilk chicken's sauce is so thick! The Nyonya Laksa is also goood! The chicken with cheese is also juicy, the meat was not dry, and the fries were so filling! Price is also very reasonable.Unfortunately, I am not a fan of coffee, so I couldn't really rate their caffeine drinks.3. Parking was hard. Weekdays or weekends, you'll get lucky to even get a parking near there. I usually park futher away, walking around 5 - 10 minutes to reach the cafe. It's still worth it. I wouldn't say it is wheelchair accessible since we had to climb some stairs to enter the cafe. I'm not sure if there are ramps, sorry.4. The interior design is so nice, me and my friends always take pictures at the back. The ambience, the music, and the atmosphere are so calm. Love every second of it.That is all from me. Enjoy!

Came to this restaurant twice in July and August 2024. They are famous for the variety of coffee around Malaysia. I find it very unique and appealing at the same time. Everyone should give it a try as each state has its own "character" / taste. We tried wrap, which was surprisingly tasty because the look doesn't give that vibes.. then the hainanese chicken chop..very crunchy, if you're a small eater, please share! Claypot laksa is very creamy.. might not be something for health-conscious people (like my parents) likes. The first time I came here was trying mocha while 2nd time with tea.. yeah, despite the famous coffee, I can take caffeine Overall, the place is nice, but a very big drawback is the ventilation - quite poor, especially at the back near the toilet where the kitchen is.. really hot, and the owner should consider installing more fans if air conditioning is not within budget.

I was there for coffee and a dessert - they have coffee from 13 states of Malaysia - I've tried 2 and I really like their taste. Crepe cake was also good. The price for the coffee was 6.5 RM.
