La Dolce Bake Shop @ Lintas Station, Kota Kinabalu [Most comfy cafe in kk]

La Dolce Bake Shop is situated at ground floor of Lintas Station, Kota Kinabalu. It's the best comfy cafe in kk. From the moment u walk in, it strikes u as a quaintly place. The services that you'd get here is excellent. Their staffs r so helpful and always with a smile on their face.

They r very attentive to the extend that they will refill your water without having you to ask for it. And they offered me iPhone charger when my phone's batt r drenching. And the best of it, you know, there are times when u r alone at the cafe and ur gadgets as well as stationaries r all over the table; and you want to go to the washroom..... They r so kind to take care of my stuffs while I'm away:) What else u can ask for more? 

But.. (There's always a but lol) they only operate until 7pm. And, however, their foods are just moderate. 

This lil quaint place is a nice, quiet hideout perfect for own studying, reading, relaxing or catching up with a good friend.

 The kind of place that feels like "u r back at home".

Hi-tea set: rm9.90

Americano and 3 pcs of sandakan UFO tarts. The coffee was okay but the tarts taste so diff from those I had in sandakan thou. And I've tried their speggetti too which is just okay. They actually mentioned that their specialty is cheese cake, shd hv listen to em' at the first place, will gv it a try on my next visit.

Muffinz Deli Cafe @ Magellan Sutera Resort, Kota Kinabalu [Best bagel in Kota Kinabalu]

It's a gem hidden at level 1 of this 5 stars hotel and it's situated just at the fringe of CBD of Kota Kinabalu. The resort itself is a paradise on earth having the spectacular sea view which compliments to this cafe. 

They provide wide range of food varieties, ie. cakes, cookies, crepe, pies, salads, sandwiches, baguette, bagel, ciabatta, focaccia, pita, truffles, ice creams and etc. However, their coffee is so so only. You may opt for bottled drinks instead.

This is the best bagel I ever had in kk. They serve it hot and the best thing is that u can customize it to ur own liking. Priced at rm22.

I've tried a few of their cakes and there's nothing to brag about. 

Oh, good news!! The cakes, muffins n pies are all 50% after 10pm. Meaning to say, their pastries are daily fresh made. Prices ranging from rm10-14 per slice.

Variety of truffles. Rm1.50 each.

Macaron rm2.90 each.

Big cookies.

Classic Doughnuts for only rm3 each.

Hot muffins. Prefer something hot n savory? There u go: beef pies, chicken & mushroom pies, quiche and etc. Rm15 each.

Gelato...

And yes, free pool games for customers. Yay... It opens til 11pm. Definitely a cool gathering place, kids friendly and a comfy reading place. And ample of free car parking lots too. Awwwsomeness!! Xx

October Cafe @ The Peak, Kota Kinabalu

October has been my favourite coffee place in kk. Well, there's not much options here after all. This 24 seaters coffee place (yes, I actually counted the seats) with a very personal atmosphere is situated at The Peak which approximately 1km away fr CBD. 

The owner is a Korean named Danny and sometimes you'll see his wife n children at the cafe. The staffs are friendly and extremely dedicated. Service with a smile to make u smile (smiles r contagious u know). Importantly, the coffee is consistently excellent with a nice balanced non-acidic flavor n perfect foam. I just love it. Food is good. The choice, however could be a bit wider. I would love to see more cakes or patisserie on offer. The price is reasonable, ranging fr rm5-9. And their toasts r only rm7.80. In a nut shell, lovely place, warm n nice cuppa.

Oh wait, there's one thing I dislike about this place is that it always full! Half of the time I was turned down n detour to other cafe to curb my coffee fever. And this is the reason why I've counted the number of seats. 

Decorated with books, plants, toys and unique wooden furnitures as well as an enormous wood painting on the wall of the cafe.

They used to serve this set-lunch with a cup of Americano n toast for only rm9.90

The best toast in town: Honey Toast

They own bake cookies. 4 pieces for rm5.80 (cranberry, green tea, sesame and chocolate)

I've tried their Hokkaido cake and I don't really like their cream. Kinda buttery for my liking. I prefer the ones with fresh cream plus a hint of custard. 

The perfect cappuccino (in kk so far)

Their green tea latte, however, too milky n could hv add stronger green tea flavor in it.

No worries if u can't take caffeine. They do hv non-coffee be beverages. This Organic Soy Nut is so rich n creamy :))

Their French toast with lotsa of fruits!!!! Besides, their Korean Toast is not bad at all. Savory kind of toast with ham & carrot omelet.

Definitely a good place to read n chillax 

All smiles :))) (even their utensils r so cute)

Cheers...
