Situated nearby to a hostel cafe in USM itself, this little quirky cafe serves cakes, Western cuisine like lasagna and spaghetti, pie, coffee and other variety of drinks. By the way, the brownies are to die for :-) This cafe was recommended to me by a colleague.

Finding this little cafe was not easy cause if you're not local, you might have difficulty in finding it. The first thing we noticed when we entered was the deco. Old school yet rustic. Seats are quite limited as most of their customers prefer to take away their food. Sit in customers were a few and I noticed they were mostly staffs or students from the uni itself.

Their signature drink is the 'Kopi Balak'. Your typical black coffee with sugar serve in a glass bottle. Unique and creative although it's not my type of coffee. Prices were okay but I'm not sure if the prices are affordable for students. Judging from its portion, they're quite fulfilling to your stomach. Small but mighty.

The cosy feeling of this cafe makes it suitable to have assignment discussion or a place to hang out with your friends. The menu has many selection of food but most of them were not available. We had spaghetti bolognese, aglio olio, choc brownies and beef lasagna.

One thing I love about this little haven is that, you find much needed comfort and privacy when there are times you just want to be alone because it is less crowded. The whole cafe is just photography friendly. Every corner has different element and little figurines you can capture with your camera or mobile phones.
