Came just before 10 am when they open to ensure a place to sit inside the glasshouse amidst the cacti and succulents in pots, surrounded by a green forest. Pleasant experience, and the original and chocolate burnt cheesecake were delicious and a good size. Tried the cappuccino and my husband the Americano and coffee was decent.
Self service and counter payment after ordering is efficient.
Highly recommended for a simple coffee or tea with five choices of cake including an attractive looking pandan with gula Melaka cake. Alfresco dining in the cool Misty weather can accommodate more people as present Covid restrictions limit indoor seating to only 8 people. Cheesecake was Rm16 a slice and cappuccino RM10.
Will visit again to try the other cakes!

It's a quaint little cafe sitting in what used to be the only petrol station (Shell) on the hill which now serves as their little kitchen/serving area. They've erected a glass house next to it where they sell an assortment of cacti and also have some seating for dine-in as well. The glass house has a nice charm but can get a little warm if the sun is out. The outdoor seating is limited at the moment and the owner plans to add more in the near future. They serve the best coffee on the hill as well as some snacks. We had the curry puff which was nice and crispy as they were air fried. It's next to the hills so it's nice to enjoy a coffee and listen to the sounds of nature. I disagree with some of the comments here that there's nothing much to see here. It definitely has a charm that you won't find in any other cafe.

Quite certain the only reason there are patrons is because of the lack of activities to do around Fraser Hill. How else would you explain why people are putting up with the unfriendly lady at the counter? Or the lack of food choice at this café? Or the glasshouse that look more like a shed than it is a place to eat?
All in all, an unpleasant experience there – From the rundown feel of the place, to the staffs that ought to be taught lessons on how to attend to their customers. In all honesty, we suggest other places to have your scones (Ye Olde Smokehouse comes to mind) or if you wish to have a varied selection, to visit Cattleya Restaurant instead.

Tea, coffee and cakes were good. Menu is limited but yummy.
Seating is limited. You can sit inside the glasshouse with the cacti else outside.
There is no dedicated parking space, you can park at the roadside below.
It's just a nice, comfortable cafe inside a glasshouse with some cacti in it.

We went on Monday afternoon and it was empty. Not even a sign showing opening days and hours. Total disappointment.

Fraser's Hill latest attraction. Best (and only!) place in town for a REAL barista made coffee! Sip a delicious coffee in the comfortable climate of Fraser's Hill whilst admiring the extensive collection of cacti and succulents (also available for purchase). This is a great venue to sit and relax enjoying the natural environment and crisp air of Fraser's Hill whilst enjoying the township's only barista made western-style coffee!

Never in my mind there is such pretty little place with good coffee and yummy cake! My last time in Fraser Hill was year 1990!
The glasshouse is really nicely done, although simple but you can see the enthusiasm of someone with passion in the plants ( succulents and cactuses) as well as serving you good coffee with a big smile :)
Please watch and warn your kids when you are there , nobody likes their lovely plants to be out in danger :p

among the best and most beautiful places to stay in peninsular Malaysia. fresh air in the mountains. very comfortable can feel and enjoy the tropical scenery and the experience of walking around the pine trees. can also see birds flying through a special path which is sure to be a fun experience. there are also waterfalls nearby and also boating activities.
