We had afternoon tea here and enjoyed the decor and food. Housed in a heritage building, this place has a vibe which is very pleasant. Staff were also helpful. The coffee was good and strong while sandwiches were tasty too. Do look up at the ceiling and you will see old row boats. The upstairs is also nicely decorated. We enjoyed our meal here.

Really nice cafe with its heritage maintained in its architecture. They have different rooms which gives off different vibes inside. We only have cake and drinks but their menu was very interesting as well. The lemon tart was really nice. Lovely vibe for relaxing and chatting.

Coconut Cream Latte
We tried few times our favourite drink - black on black. Memang terbaek. We also tried 2 other signature drinks which are coconut cream latte and pengat sengat. Both are very refreshing. Tak manis sangat. Sesuai utk coffee addict. Sangat sangat recommended.

I always wanted to try out this place and heard many good things about it. Now I can tell you it's good. Ambience is so Insta friendly and an awesome place for hanging out or get together sessions. It's got that mixed yesteryear vibe fusioned with modern finishings. How's the coffee? It's aromatic and full bodied. Quality coffee that reminds you it's worth the price. I tried the Gula Melaka Shakeretto and to me it's basically cold brew with gula melaka. Overall taste is on the bitter side. Honestly the gula melaka is faint and not sweet. Yet I enjoyed it. Nice! Next is the Iced Irish Cream Latte, refreshing and smooth. Finally the cake is a first for me, Burnt Sweet Potato Cheese Cake. It sounds weird but is actually nice. A bit sweet with lots of sweet potato bits. Recommended place if you like good coffee if you are in Alor Setar and exploring the Chinatown area.

The best place to hang out in Alor Setar. They set the bar for all the cafes in town. I can surely say that they are also one of the main reasons for the revival of Pekan Cina.

Food is better than expected. Presentation to par. Service super fast with nice and friendly wait staff . The atmosphere it's not what you would say the most relaxing but has good ambience to have a meal. Love their efforts to preserve heritage and their passion in serving good food and drinks. I would say you wouldn't be disappointed eating here but not everyone is going to give a wow.

Cafe Diem left me truly impressed. The highlight of my experience was undoubtedly the exceptional coffee they served. The barista's skill was evident in every sip, and the rich, aromatic brew was a delightful pick-me-up.
To accompany my coffee, I indulged in their delectable canelés. These French pastries were simply divine – crisp on the outside with a moist, custardy interior, and a perfect balance of sweetness. They were a delightful pairing with my coffee.
The ambiance of the cafe was cozy, I love outdoor sittings, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The friendly staff added to the overall positive experience.
If you're a coffee enthusiast and appreciate fine pastries, this cafe is a must-visit. I can't wait to return for another cup of their exceptional coffee and more of those heavenly canelés.
