Being a Kelantan boy & stayed in KL leaves me with a lot of memories in KB. I browsed reviews on this eatery & could not agree more. + This place is amazing. charcoal stove is used to prepare the dishes even the air kosong taste better. + Awesome kaya & butter combination + All in the shop are antiques...

We used to go to this kopitiam when we were kids and enjoyed it. That was 20 years ago. We went there recently and were appalled at the unfriendly and slow service. The food was below average. The waitresses were avoiding eye contact when we wanted to order. We were not allowed to take photographs of ourselves inside the "restaurant".... More

love the coffee and the kaya toast. the ambiance of the restaurant is also nice. White house has the old charm of what a kopitiam should be like. It' usually opens in the morning and at night. If you want to know how a kopitiam is like years ago, this is the place you should be.

Some friends 'black-listed' this place long ago but we refused to judge it before giving it a try. Food are expensive and overrated. Inconsistent business hours. Bad service. Worst of all, showed us their stuck up faces as if we have no money to pay! Definitely NO next time.

Visiting Kota Bahru Kelantan without going to have coffee at the White House Coffee Shop is like not visiting Kota Bharu at all. There you can try the best black coffee in town with two half boiled eggs and two slice of toasted bread.. Be there before 9.00pm because if later you will not be able to get a table..... More

Building has been around longer than I do. Survived the war and has been serving tradisional breakfast ever since. Half boil egg and Roti Kahwin with a hot local coffee. Brilliant. It opens merely a few hours in the morning then thats it. At night as well. Couldnt remember exactly the operating hours. One thing tho, make sure you keep... More

It's a kopi tiam that one can try out local foods such as nasi dagang, nasi lemak and roti kahwin. The teh tarik is nice but you need to request for very little sugar.
