How long is the wait on weekends?

One reviewer reported almost an hour to finish purchasing food during a weekend and public holiday dining time.

What is the stand-alone cafe outside IPC?

A separate counter serves takeaway items like salmon croissant sandwiches and coffee; reviewers report it requires waiting while staff replenish stock, but the pace is manageable outside peak hours.

Does this cafe hire people with disabilities?

Yes. The business employs deaf and mute staff members who communicate via sign language. At least one sandwich preparer works there.

What recent reviews say

Coffee and croissants earn consistent praise, and staff hiring practices deserve credit for including deaf and mute employees. But reviews split sharply on service: multiple customers report rude or dismissive behavior from cashiers and baristas, while others praise speed during quiet hours. Long weekend waits and prices around RM25+ for a meal draw complaint, though portions are generous.

Gigi Coffee IPC

4.0(64)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Gigi Coffee earns strong praise for its buttercream latte and caramel macchiato, which reviewers return for repeatedly. Several customers highlight fast service and friendly baristas. However, quality control varies across locations: one reviewer received an incomplete order at IPC after pre-ordering through the app, while another complained of excessive foam and poor coffee. Service can falter during busy periods; at least one customer left unserved after waiting at the counter.

HWC Coffee - IPC Shopping Center

4.4(80)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Staff know their menu inside out and greet visitors warmly, whether it's their first visit or their tenth. Coffee quality stays solid across visits, with specialty beans and matcha drinks earning repeat custom even though the outlet is narrow and cramped. Service pace swings from fast to slow depending on the day and who's behind the counter, but the coffee itself rarely disappoints. Bottled 1L formats let you take specialty drinks home. Named staff including Yaya, Wahida, and Irfan handle the bar and front. Prices sit below RM16 for most hot drinks, making specialty coffee accessible. The space works best for a quick stop rather than lingering.
