A good new place for kopi. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The place is with air-cond and it is clean. The aroma of the kopi is traditional, real kopi taste. The Roti Bakar is ok. The most recommended is the Lontong. The gravy comes with Santanand it blends very well with the mixed vege. A good place to dine in. Parking is a bit challenging
