Spoilt for choice

Many choices in menu. Tried their handmade glutinous rice cake and bah gut teh. Bah gut teh is a little too sweet for my liking. The glutinous rice cakes are fried and came with a brown sugar syrup. They are soft and chewy and the syrup goes well with the glutinous cakes.
Saw other table’s food which also looks appetising.

Extensive menu

Went for lunch. Was busy with all locals. Staff spoke very little English but enough info there to guess (as a veggie) and a notepad to write your order on.
I had mushroom satay skewers and fried avocado, with a refreshing peach and apple soda. Everything was fresh, cooked well and tasted good.
No option to pay with card, luckily I had just enough cash to pay.

Pros: Extensive menu , Quick service

Cons: Don’t take card for payment , Bit of guessing required

Fabulous

I came here for breakfast and ordered the #1 special which was absolutely delicious and hearty. Great place for breakfast if you're looking for a traditional style breakfast

Vegetarian Cafe, with Vegan Options when asked

All veggie cafe, a lot of conversation needed to establish which options were vegan and which weren’t. The menu could do with markings to show which options are already vegan. Food good, nothing special

Good food but heavy on the eggs and cheese

Happy to find this place in Ipoh but the menu was based around eggs and cheese replacing meat so not great for vegans, hence 3 stars. Options aren't marked but they catered well for us when we said vegan for both dishes. The noodle soup curry was excellent.

YC Vege Lifa Cafe, Ipoh

Its quite heavily lacto-ovo. Vegan items aren't menu marked, requiring staff convo to identify potentially vegan items. Its maybe ok if you're nearby, but defo not worth making a special journey to try this place.

Updated from previous review on 2023-12-25

Pros: Some vegan options identifiable from staff convo, Nice staff

Cons: All vegan is always better, No marking vegan menu items

Delicious!

One of the best curry noodle soups I’ve had! Huge portion with tofu and veggies. Friendly staff, free wifi, lots of options!

Bit hit and miss

We enjoyed the atmosphere here, however both the food and service could be a bit hit and miss. So sometimes service could be quick and attentive and other times not. The local food was better than the western offerings such as the pasta and wraps. I think the menu has reduced in size a bit and it’s much more geared towards vegetarians than vegans with lots of egg and cheese based dishes. That being said, there aren’t tons of choices here so it’s good that it’s here and offers some decent food

Nice and friendly restaurant with a good selection of vegetarian dishes.

I had white miso ramen, make sure to ask them without egg bc the dish is with boiled egg. Be aware that they put honey in the lemon tea, unsure if the do in the others.

Cosi e così

Dipende un po' dai piatti, alcuni buonissimi, altri con alcune salse un pelo strane per i miei gusti, tipo gli udon o il Tofu che vedete in foto. Scegliete con saggezza ahhaah

Delicious and friendly

We tried 6 dishes and all tasted very good. There is a lot of choice and all really affordable. Unfortunately the satay was not available. Service was friendly and fast. Knowledge of English of one off the staff personal was okay, the rest not so much, but we managed.

Pros: A lot of choice , Great taste, Friendly

Good selection of food here

Good variety, nice ambience and service. Can improve on the japanese curry as it is too diluted. Fried mushrooms are nice.

Pros: Variety of food choices, Nice ambience

Cons: The japanese curry is diluted with miso soup

Delicious, cheapish and worth the visit!

Ipoh has provided us with a mix but this place, well, it’s pure gold.
Lovely staff, very generous servings and so so delicious.
Definitely recommend!!

Cute Cafe in Ipoh

This was such a cute cafe decorated with lots of plates, drawings, items from the past.

Everyone who attended to us were so nice.

It's a vegetarian place but you can request for the dishes to be veganised.

The kimchi soup ramen we had was delicious!

I'm giving it 4-stars only because it's not fully vegan and the menu is much smaller than the one on their Facebook page.

Pros: Delicious food, Good service
