I had read that it was the best coffee in Langkawi and I was not disappointed. The selection of food was limited but we were still able to order something. They were out of fries that day which surprised me. The cleanliness of the cafe was good. If you are going to the Oriental Village it is a must stop.

Being a coffee lover I was delighted to discover this great little cafe at the Oriental Village. The coffee has a great flavour to it and they use real milk (as opposed to many other places). You can purchase the coffee beans there also. E cafe itself has a nice relaxed feel bout it, is well air-conditioned, offers free wifi... More

I would rate this cafe AVERAGE only because of the tiger and the cafe's accommodating staff. We had a nice time watching the tiger and felt happy with the fantastic view. But, the food served was poor. We ordered roast chicken with mashed potatoes, tiramisu, cafe latte and cappuccino. The chicken was really bad, old (maybe stored in the fridge... More

Bolaven Cafes (or Tiger Tiger Gallery, it's known by both names) is one of the most unique spots in Langkawi. The cafe serves Bolaven Farms coffee from Laos, which is one of the most unique-tasting coffees I have tried. Even my husband, who is not a coffee drinker, declared it the best coffee he's ever had. On top of this,... More

Good coffee, we had Lattes with tiger paws design ... A nice touch. Skip the food - crap & expensive. Meatballs ... I thought Ikea's was bad, this is worse. Zanah the 4-year old tigress is huge & beautiful, looks well-fed and contended most times we were there. Looks much happier than the tigers at Malaysia's zoos, except Taiping zoo.... More

This was my third trip to Langkawi and each trip I've made sure that I made a visit to drink my favorite caramel coffee with the beautiful tiger, Zanah. My kids absolutely loved it, my son was so excited when he saw the tiger he was running around making such a fuss but the owners were so lovely about it... More

After a trip up Langkawi hill we hada coffee at the Bolaven cafe called tiger tiger. Whilst the kids enjoyed their baby-chino we gawked at the tiger and the foamy milk patterns the waitress made in our cappucino. The coffee was so good we bought some of the beans. A must go!

I dread drinking coffee in South East Asia as most is simply dreadful. I am a espresso coffee puritan and this place is superb. If you are serious about coffee stop you will visit and perhaps have a slice of cherry pie too

My wife & I are very fussy when it comes to coffee, but the guys at the Tiger! Tiger! Cafe really know their stuff. The light snacks on offer is always fresh from the kitchen. The sight of a real life tiger (yes, I am serious) in a forested glass enclosure is truly a sight to behold. The owner, Jason,... More
