The cashier looked down on me as I am a solo female dressed in casual clothes.When I ordered a panini and wanted to pay using my debit card,she rudely told me that the cafe does not accept debit or credit cards as payment for meals below RM 50.Deciding not to confront her,I paid in cash instead.
She noticeably treats the other customers differently,perhaps because they are attractive white dudes in their twenties.
Very unprofessional and condescending,won't go here again.

This place does have its own charm and is a funky set up. However the service was not great, waited ages to be served as one girl on and she was cooking breakfast for 3 other patrons but never even acknowledge us or said Ill be with you in a minute. Once served it took ages to get the coffee as she finished making the breakfast's first instead of getting coffee started and doing both. Coffee was not cheap for Borneo standards and worked out as dear is not dearer than at home in NZ.

Had a really nice lunch here as we escaped from the rain. Very reasonably priced and tasty., scrambled egg on toast which we wolfed down.

The Museum Shop and Cafe is located on the Main Bazaar, is very interesting and worth a close look. The shop is packed with all sorts of local "mysterious" artefacts for sale. Coffee, tea and light meals are available. Highly recommended !

The Museum Cafe & Shop is a delightful little oasis just off the riverfront (and almost directly across the street from the Chinese History Museum). The shop portion features art, jewelry, books and craft by local artists. The cozy cafe serves coffee and tea drinks, wine and beer, and light bites. I loved the warm, artsy, slightly funky, slight crafty, slight chic interior.
