A cozy, beautiful cafe with a touch of nature, we love the concept of this place. The food offerings were equally delightful. The Grilled Chicken and Mushroom Baguette, generously portioned, impressed us with its taste. The Tiramisu, infused with alcohol, met our expectations. Notably, the Summer Yogurt, a refreshing blend of pineapple and passionfruit, struck the perfect balance—sweetness without excess. For coffee enthusiasts, the latte is a decent choice. Overall, our experience here was exceptional, and I highly recommend it!

This family run cafe is a breath of fresh air in Pontian. Nestled within a row of old shops, it has baguette, rice bowl and dumpling on the menu. Very comfortable and zen ambience. The cafe also houses beauty studio, Mona Studio that has eyelash, nails and waxing services. The lemon tea is very fragrant, not the usual teh o with lemon slice. Try it! Hopefully the next time when I visit, the hot passion fruit tea will be on the menu.

A Must Go place when you look for a good coffee, lunch and desert! The "baguette" was almost to small for the chicken , can't complain about the quantity, either the quality!!! Tiramisu was as I expected from I place like this, delicious! The café is very clean and beautiful design. Chill and relax. 7 Stars Michelin.

Awesome find in Pontian for an easy afternoon. Tucked away on a charming corner, Yearn Cafe is a delightful escape that effortlessly combines warmth, flavor, and hospitality. From the moment we stepped inside, the inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the rustic yet modern and soft lighting—made me feel right at home. The staff (owners) were attentive and genuinely friendly, offering thoughtful recommendations without hesitation. Our orders arrived promptly, even during a busy weekend afternoon. The menu is a thoughtfully curated mix of classic and inventive dishes. But we opted for the cheese cakes that were on display which are the must-try. Dense fillings with right balance of sweetness. The coffee is a true highlight! The espresso here is rich and velvety, striking the ideal balance between bold and smooth. Each cup felt crafted with care, showcasing their dedication to quality beans and expert brewing.

Yearn Cafe is a very new cafe in town - small but cosy - and for the time being, it serves a limited range of food and drinks on its menu. Nevertheless, my friends and I had a wonderful and very tasty meal. We will look forward to trying more dishes when more are added to the menu. The staff, who are also the owners, are very friendly and helpful. It is advisable to make a reservation, and may be useful to select your food from the menu before you get there! Update I have been to Yearn café for two consecutive days - a very good place for cakes, freshly brewed coffee and other beverages! Yummy food - generous portions too. My favourite is a snack - grilled tender chunky piece of chicken and mushrooms served in a crusty baguette - more like a meal than a snack. There is a also a nail care centre in the café - while your better half get her/his nail care, one can enjoy yummy food and beverages. Getting more popular

A local cafe in Pontian. We came in for tea time. The cafe has cozy ambiances and aesthetic interior. Simple and natural. I ordered white (espresso), recommended by the owner. She explained to me about the coffee, other drinks options includinh tea and yogurt drink. The coffee is prepared on the counter table and you see the barista prepared your latte. The tea prepared using home prepared mix of few type of tea selected by the owner. They only have two cakes for the day, so we choose chocolate lava cake, which is flourless. Suitable for those who are allergic to gluten. Overall, I am satisfied and will come again to try their isuzu matcha.
