Anyone craving high-quality waffles and shareable desserts in a cozy setting.

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

What do recent reviews say?

Reviewers consistently return for the waffles. The crispy-outside, fluffy-inside texture paired with toppings like ice cream and gourmet nuts draws repeat visits, and portions are large enough to share. The space feels cozy with warm colors, though some find it dim; the dessert and beverage menu is extensive.

Yet drinks remain a friction point. Recent reviews note matcha lattes missing proper technique, rose lattes lacking foam, and macadamia lattes tasting burnt. The cafe often runs with a single staff member, making service slow during afternoons and evenings. Pricing sits at the upper end (RM32-RM19 per item), which reviewers acknowledge but accept for the food quality.

Staff here build real rapport with cat-loving regulars, and the cats themselves are noticeably well-cared-for, clean, and eager to interact. Grooming and boarding services come with teaching on flea prevention; the only consistent note is that coffee and tea are ordinary compared to the main draw. Cat cuddle time runs 11am to 5pm, with boarding and grooming offered throughout the week. The venue draws repeat visitors primarily for the animals and their handlers rather than the cafe side.

Most visitors praise Foo Fee for bold, fresh food at reasonable prices-especially the charcoal toast, matcha coffee, and local dishes-and staff who make them feel welcomed. The quiet, comfortable setting suits both casual lunch and group gatherings. A handful of recent visits flagged inconsistent execution: cold bread arriving late, and the shop appearing to wind down before official closing time.
