Lao Mao Cafe

Lao Mao Cafe

4.5(281)

Lao Mao draws loyal crowds for its Sarawak laksa, kolo mee, and house-made cakes, which reviewers say deliver genuine flavour and generous portions. The owner Marianne creates a pet-friendly, homely space that feels personal. Service stumbles when packed, tables need closer attention to cleanliness, and billing practices have caused friction for some diners. The cafe roasts coffee on-site and bakes cakes fresh daily (orange butter cake, banana walnut cake, sourdough). Specialty touches like their cendol and curry puff earn repeated praise. Expect self-service ordering at the counter and a cramped but warm room. Best for groups and families with dogs who don't mind a wait.

ZUS Coffee - Megah Rise Mall

4.4(381)✓ Google-verified

Staff warmth defines the experience here. Reviewers consistently praise friendly service and a relaxed vibe; specific staff members like Adden and Joel earn individual mentions for going out of their way. The matcha and handcrafted coffee keep people returning, and the casual environment has become a social draw. Beyond the core coffee menu, ZUS offers Vietnamese and Spanish lattes, creamy mango drinks, and matcha beverages. Pickup and delivery are available across Malaysia. Recent visits show no service hiccups, making this a reliable stop in Taman Megah for both coffee and a place to sit.

Salad Atelier (Megah Rise)

Salad Atelier (Megah Rise)

4.2(163)✓ Google-verified

Food quality shines when it arrives: reviewers consistently praise fresh vegetables, balanced flavours, and healthy bowls that taste as good as they look. Service and ordering undermine that strength. A redesigned QR-code system has made getting food needlessly complicated, staff turnover has eroded friendliness, and portion sizes fall short of photos, leaving many loyal customers frustrated enough to swear off the chain.
