Roots & Bliss Cafe - Kuching, Sarawak

Azilah J.

Fav cafe in Kuching (or maybe, the country even, aside from Utoo cafe in Penang) that I always enjoy visiting.

I've been obsessed with one drink -
Salty Lemon Waves 🔛🔝 Please try 🙏🏼

Thought it was just a regular iced lemon coffee, turns out to be a beautifully flavored mocktail coffee. I love every sip of it for the bold flavors - salty, sour, sweet & coffee-bitter. The sips get fun as they add dried citrus peel in the drink. As someone who enjoys air asamboi, Gongcha plum green tea & lemon/orange coffee, this drink is honestly my top #1. At RM15, a price that my girl math thinks is worth every sip 😂 My fav way of enjoying it is slow sips & just enjoying each flavor I find.

I also tried their iced americano, and requested add hazelnut syrup less sweet. It was soft roasty nice, maybe as good as FamilyMart iced hazelnut latte?

Another value of this cafe is the ever welcoming, polite, feedback-asking cafe crews 🫡🫡 First visit, the softspoken cashier explained to me their menu and their leader assisted me even when she was busy. Then onwards, I return & get greeted with consistent kindness & comfort.

I recommend the cafe for anyone solo or on dates or in groups. It is a rather small space, but cozy & peaceful enough for chilling & enjoying your drinks/desserts. If not mistaken there is one private room for a group of maybe >6? The waiting time is not really for a quick grab & go orders, as I think they have a steady turnover of customers. For people who loves self reward & documenting it, please go here haha. The desserts are too pretty to the littlest detail 👌

Today I told them a secret & as I was about to leave, the barista gifted me her fav instant choc drink & the cashier gifted me a lemon cheese tart slice, and then some onion attacked my eyes idk why ohh 🤔🫶🏼

Attached are photos of the series of my time here. Thank you Roots & Bliss, y'all have my heart! ❤️

Great food and atmosphere. The design of this cafe is very nice, making you feel like your not in Malaysia, instead in some European themed cafe. Food was VERY nice. Had a Matcha latte and a Matcha waffle. The waffle was exceptionally crispy. The price of the food is also up there, you do pay for the ambience but in this case the ambience was nice and the food was even better so I would say, worth paying. The service was just a bit slow, had to wait a while even though there was not many people at the cafe. Other than that great place. Highly recommended.

A cozy and beautifully decorated café, a first date place as a boyfriend role. The cakes and beverages were incredibly delicious, leaving me eager to try other menu items on my next visit.

This is a lovely cafe with charming ambiance and an inviting décor that provided a wonderful atmosphere for enjoying desserts. In terms of services, the staff was attentive and friendly. They will approaching customers to collect opinions after the meals which I think is great for improvement. Food wise, the desserts that I’ve tried here were delectable and I strongly recommended their waffles, which are my favourite. Prices are slightly higher but the quality of food justified the cost.

Finally made it to this place. The location is a bit off for me. Anyway I find the interior interesting. Fusion of Western and Chinese elements which doesn't gel in my opinion. Had the waffles and it was good. My friends enjoyed their food as well. Will be back for other menu.

Matcha latte – not quite it for me.
I stopped by here a few months ago to try their matcha latte. The place was fairly busy, so I waited about 10 minutes for my takeaway order, which was totally reasonable.

Unfortunately, the drink didn’t quite meet my expectations. For RM17, I was hoping for a rich, vibrant matcha flavour, but the latte I got was quite pale and tasted more watery than smooth or creamy.

I wanted to like it, but it just didn’t hit the mark for me. That said, the service was polite, and the cafe has a nice vibe, so I might be open to trying something else on the menu next time.

Nice cozy cafe for a late afternoon coffee/tea. They don't have much choices for a meal but more to sandwiches and waffles. They have some tarts too. I ordered a lemon tart (one of their specials that day) and it was really good. Their Christmas decor is cute & cozy!
