Welcome to UNA VOLTA CAFE, a delightful hidden gem nestled in the heart of Iskandar Puteri, Johor Bahru. Located at No. 37 Block H1, Pusat Perdaganggan Ion Medini, this café offers a charming escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, making it the perfect spot for coffee lovers and casual diners alike.

Upon entering UNA VOLTA CAFE, you will immediately be greeted by an atmosphere that exudes warmth and comfort. The interior is cozy, punctuated by tasteful decor — including a grand piano waiting to be played — and bookshelves filled with a thoughtful selection of Chinese and English literature. It's a place that encourages you to sit back, indulge in a good book, and savor a lovingly prepared meal.

The menu offers a delightful array of dishes that cater to various palates. Customers rave about the surprisingly delicious food at reasonable prices, proving that UNA VOLTA is anything but a typical café with mediocre offerings. Patrons have particularly enjoyed their breakfasts, which are praised for their simplicity yet outstanding flavors. Imagine biting into perfectly toasted bread with a rich spread of butter, although do note that some reviews suggest a bit more generosity with that butter would enhance the experience—something the team has room to improve on.

One customer, hb, describes UNA VOLTA as a “hidden gem,” noting the tranquil atmosphere that allows for plenty of parking and a lesser crowd — perfect for those looking to escape the chaos of busier cafés. Another guest, Sean Sean, highlights the clean restroom facilities and even more charming freebies like tidbits at the cashier. The ambiance, however, has had mixed reviews; while some enjoy the cozy feel, others have pointed out odd smells that can emerge from the kitchen, suggesting areas for improvement.

Despite a few hiccups in service speed, especially during busy hours, the overwhelming sentiment is one of appreciation for the quality of food and the homey environment. Kc Yap notes the current opening promotion, indicating that they value customer feedback and are striving to optimize their service. Visitors like Yin Yin are left pleasantly surprised by their first lunches, further solidifying the café's reputation as a must-visit spot.

UNA VOLTA CAFE is not just a place to grab a bite; it’s a community hub where people come together over food, coffee, and shared experiences. Whether you’re in the mood for a simple breakfast or looking to spend a leisurely afternoon with friends, this café promises to deliver comfort and quality in equal measure. So why not pay a visit?

This cafe is a hidden gem!! Its location is tucked away from the highway (means there are fewer people and cars—a plus for plenty of parking. Still definitely worth a visit tho The food is actually surprisingly good, and the prices are quite reasonable too. It’s certainly not your typical aesthetic café with mediocre food.

Food taste not bad. Now having opening promotion. But the food waiting time is long, the staffs efficiency has room for improvement, ie slow. Toasted bread butter is thin, it would be nice if they could be more generous.

Updated the menu here (October 2022) Atmosphere (should get 5*) 3* because has weird smell coming out from kitchen. Once there was heavy second hand smoke smell when toilet door left open for awhile. The interior was drowned by it. Cafe now provide crocheted bear coasters when serving cold drinks. {We were here trice, and the glass like always not being wipe for presentation and the base will always has coffee which leaves marking on table. I told the person coffee shop/ hawker centres will always has these spillage (since its a cafe, maybe can note on this too. Cause i need to explain why is there coffee an table to my guest.)} Traditional breakfast is great! Should give 5stars • rectified.{ the butter in toast had absorbed foul smell from fridge. Please note on storage.} •• Please source for other brands of table condiments. White pepper is tasteless and soy sauce doesn't taste nice. Don't has the fragrant nor taste. Just taste like plainly salt water?

Visited on Sun morning. Looks like a new and quiet area with not many shops around,so parking is not a problem at all. Ambience, food, price is superb, especially price wise. Free flow of traditional biscuits and sweets are offered definitely will excite kids. Onwer could be a book lower where a lot good books are available for leisure reading, definitely a perfect place to read, restand relax

Hidden cafe in medini area, it's a white theme cafe setting with the floor and walls, ceilings being pure white. The place is cosy with classical piano music in the background. The place is also clean and drinks are above average. The lemon tea is not too sweet which is good for a healthier choice.
