"I love their Florentine chicken pasta, it was incredibly flavourful. The chicken was incredibly tender and perfectly cooked, melding beautifully with the creamy sauce. Highly recommend this dish!"

"A hidden gem in Alma area. It served some western food items not commonly found on mainland (Beef Shashuka, tonkatsu wrap, bake beans with toast etc). Overall food was excellent, coupled with warm inviting deco and soft blast of rock music, plenty of seating choices, and attentive staff make this a great place to hang out with friends or work your laptop for 3 hours :-)."

"Clean, cozy and relaxing place. A bit pricey. Rakki Signature (RM32.90) The beef is very tender, juicy, smokey and small portion. Jasmine Latte, special, nice to try it."

"Very underrated cafe nestled in a quiet commercial area. They have excellent attention to detail. Coffee was great. Food was great. Carbonara is well balanced, sour dough well toasted, baked beans & eggs has unique and flavourful taste, fried chicken wrap looks unassuming but extremely tasty. Place will go far when you are this meticulous. All the best to the young owners"

"Had a lovely experience at Rakki Coffee! The ambience was cozy and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed meal or catch-up with friends. We tried a few dishes, including the curry katsu rice bowl and some pasta, and everything was delicious. The pasta dishes stood out the most; rich, flavorful sauces and perfectly cooked noodles. You can really taste the freshness in every bite. Overall, great food, comfortable atmosphere, and friendly service. Definitely a place I’d come back to for both coffee and a hearty meal!"

"Great services and cozy place. The food was surprising good, but portion is a little bit small. Price is slightly higher but I’m willing to pay it for the good quality of their food. Recommended!"
