Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: NCT Cafe stands out for its exceptional hospitality and a comforting, cozy atmosphere that makes visitors feel like regulars.

We see consistent praise for the owners' kindness and welcoming nature.

The traditional toast sets are a highlight, with options for eggs (scrambled, omelette, soft-boiled) and toast fillings (kaya, butter & kaya, peanut butter).

Reviewers frequently mention the kaya butter toast as being particularly crispy, and the coffee as rich and flavourful.

At $5.80 for a traditional toast set, it offers good value.

While the focus is on breakfast items, the vegetarian nasi lemak has also received positive mentions.

We think this is a reliable spot for a pleasant and affordable start to the day, especially if you appreciate genuinely friendly service.

Best for a relaxed breakfast or a quick coffee stop.
