Seated at table 18A and had a great experience with Ms. Shifa—she’s youthful, friendly, and very attentive! The space is incredibly photogenic. While the main food and drinks were okay, the desserts are the absolute stars here. Definitely worth coming back for the treats and the vibe!
I used to call this cafe as "Bali cafe" hahaha because the environment are giving a sense of traveling in Bali to be honest 🤣 I really love this cafe with the food. Especially the pasta masak lemak. I mean it's great because it's a combination or Western and Asian cuisine. The part I love the most in this cafe is the swimming pool because it's one of the best spot to take a photo. So, I really recommend you guys to visit this cafe with your family, friends & lover!
The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, the food is consistently good and most importantly, the staff are friendly. A special shoutout to Shifa, she makes us feel right at home. My kids absolutely love coming here and we’ll definitely be back again soon.
Kafe Kleptokrat is such a hidden gem in the city! The place has a beautiful rustic charm that immediately makes you feel relaxed the moment you step in. The layout is very well thought out — the pool in the middle gives the whole café a unique and refreshing atmosphere, perfect for a laid-back brunch or catching up with friends.
