I love coming here every year to indulge in the amazing UFO Tarts. They are truly a must-try local delicacy in Sandakan. Each piece is only RM 2.20, plus an extra RM 0.10 for take-away plastic packaging. Trust me, they are absolutely scrumptious!

My go to place for their yummy ufo tarts & egg tarts located in IJM area. To my experience, their tarts are always consistent in terms of look & taste. Other than tarts, they do sell variety of kuih and typical kopitiam dishes as well. Service is fast & parking is easy. We do take away all the time, haven’t get a chance to dine in & try their beverages. We will next time. Highly recommended!!

Just love their cup of coffee and friendly staff. If they can upgrade their payment method, to cashless mobile payment is better.
