Curio Coffee Roaster & Cafe @ Jalan Ipoh

4.7(337)✓ Google-verified

Specialty roaster in a tucked-away upper-floor space on Jalan Ipoh that draws loyalty for smooth house blends and seasonal roasts. Baristas know their craft and staff stay flexible with orders, though the room echoes a bit and seats fill fast. Small and intentional rather than sprawling, the cafe rewards those willing to hunt it down via the metal staircase.

Owners report their dogs run to daycare and their cats thrive in the space. Staff send video updates every 1-2 hours, respond quickly to orders, and handle nervous pets with professional care. The facility spans multiple levels (no lift), stocked with premium pet food brands and treats, plus a cafΓ© for owners to stay comfortably during appointments. Groomers like Jayden earn consistent praise for skill and attention, and the business holds DVS certification. One severe past incident (a pet death during grooming, with disputed CCTV access) remains unresolved in older reviews, but recent feedback focuses on daycare quality and product range. The venue itself stands out: reviewers note the spa-like smell, photo-friendly spaces, and ability to free-roam pets. Pricing starts at 7.50 for cooked pet food, with grooming and specialist services available. Service areas include Kepong, Kuchai Lama, Petaling Jaya, and Kuala Lumpur.

Staff go the extra mile: they note allergies before orders and engage warmly with regulars. Sourdough, cakes, and pastries draw repeat visits, though a recent matcha disappointed. The pet perk (free dog daycare nearby with a RM30 spend) and relaxed seating make it a weekend brunch spot for dog owners.
