Core details are sourced from this business's Google Business Profile (checked 2026-09-29).

What do recent reviews say?

When donuts arrive fresh and hot, reviewers rave about their pillowy texture and value. But recent visits show a pattern: stock runs out mid-afternoon, staff communication falters around opening times, and many customers find their order cold or already hardened. Inconsistency is the biggest frustration, overshadowing what should be a strong product.

The TTDI location struggles with execution. Older reviews (3-6 months back) praised the staff's warmth and donut quality consistently. Recent weeks have seen a shift: customers report arriving to find donuts not ready, unclear timings, and staff who seem disengaged when questioned. Hygiene during packing has also been noted as an issue.

Praised for
  • fluffy, soft texture
  • reasonable pricing
  • friendly staff (when engaged)
  • classic Malaysian flavour
Watch-outs
  • donuts often cold or stale on arrival
  • inconsistent opening times and communication

Best for: visitors timing arrival around 11am-2pm window when stock is hot and staff are fully open
Think twice if: plan your visit carefully; opening times can shift by an hour, and donuts sell out or lose quality after early afternoon

What are they good at?

  • pillowy-soft donut texture
  • affordable pricing (RM3.50 per donut range)
  • classic Malaysian flavours (donut susu, donut gula)

Worth knowing

  • Popular donut varieties named by reviewers: donut susu (milk), donut gula (classic sugar), red velvet milk donut
  • Donuts described as RM3.50 each
  • Staff sometimes use same glove for fryer, packing, and till (hygiene note from May review)
  • Soft texture persists when cold, but freshness and heat quality are inconsistent
  • Stock issues force waits of 30+ minutes or afternoon closures

Santai draws weekend crowds for nasi lemak, curry puffs, and Malaysian breakfast classics in a clean, air-conditioned setting. Staff can be efficient during busy service, though recent reviews flag inconsistent food temperature, slow kitchen timing, and table management strain when full. Popular enough that arriving before 8 PM on weekends helps secure a spot. Their signature nasi lemak and fried curry puffs keep regulars coming back, but quality varies. Cold or soggy food and rushed service near closing time remain frustrations. Positive experiences centre on fresh fish, attentive Ramadan service, and cosy ambience; negative ones stem from temperature control and crowding logistics.

The Ivóry Room Bakery Cafe @ TTDI

The Ivory Room strikes a consistent note for its tranquil decor, skilled kitchen, and genuinely attentive staff. Most reviewers return for the tiramisu, waffles, and Croque Madame, pairing them with strong coffee or house-made matcha. Chef Martin's reputation for personalised plating and the owner Lina's event coordination draw return visits and celebrations. Recent friction appears tied to walk-in confusion: one visitor found the cafe unexpectedly closed for a private event with no entrance notice. The space upstairs and its event hosting appeal (bouquet-making, small showers, birthdays) are clearly a draw, yet blocking access without signage alienates drop-in traffic that made those discovery visits possible.

Walking in feels like stepping into a friend's chic apartment: the space is calm, photogenic, and powerful air conditioning keeps it comfortable even in heat. Staff greet you warmly and attentive service is consistent. The coffee, matcha, tiramisu, and cempedak cake earn genuine praise across recent visits. Lunch pricing runs RM24-RM30 per person. Some reviewers find the food-particularly mains like pasta and nasi lemak-overpriced for what arrives reheated from pouches; others rave about soups and pastries. Weekday lunch sets offer better value. The space itself reliably delivers: quiet enough for focused work, beautiful enough for pictures, and the kind of place where you lose track of time.
