Welcome to Manager's Coffee, an inviting cafe nestled right in front of the University Utara Malaysia (UUM) in Changlun, Kedah. This charming establishment seamlessly blends a cozy atmosphere with quality food and beverages, making it the go-to spot for students, lecturers, and anyone looking to enjoy a delightful dining experience.

At Manager's Coffee, you can indulge in a variety of delicious dishes, showcasing a mix of local and international flavors. If you're in the mood for pasta, the Carbonara Chicken Spaghetti (MYR 19.00) offers a creamy and rich taste complemented by tender pieces of chicken. Alternatively, you might enjoy the Aglio Olio Grilled Chicken (MYR 22.00), where the simplicity of garlic and olive oil elevates the succulent grilled chicken to new heights.

For those who love a good meaty dish, the Chicken Parmigiana (MYR 25.00) is a crowd favorite, boasting a crispy breaded chicken breast topped with melty cheese and marinara, served alongside a side salad. If you're in a mood for sharing, the Meatball (MYR 15.00) dish is both comforting and satisfying. Be sure to also try their flavorful Aglio Olio Seafood (MYR 18.00) for an ocean-inspired twist! On the other hand, for a quick yet delicious bite, options like Kuey Teow Goreng (MYR 13.00) and Mee Goreng Mamak (MYR 13.00) are always a hit.

To wash it all down, sip on one of their tantalizing drinks. The Iced Matcha (MYR 15.90) is a local favorite, perfect for a refreshing pick-me-up, or opt for the Iced Hazelnut Latte (MYR 15.90) to satisfy your coffee cravings with a nutty twist. With warm hues and comfortable seating, the ambiance is enhanced by soft lighting that creates a relaxing vibe, ideal for discussions or solo time with a good book.

While some customers mention that the menu is somewhat limited, others appreciate the cafe's unique setting and attitude, as described by Anna Chong, who finds it "cool to have a cafe inside the university." Kit Hoong Tan echoes this sentiment, enjoying the coffee and noting that the chicken chop is particularly good. However, Wei Jen Thor points out that it may feel a notch pricier relative to other campus cafes but praises the charming ambiance reminiscent of a CEO’s office. Eilliyah Fong emphasizes the quick service and classy atmosphere, a perfect backdrop for meetings and retreats.

Overall, Manager's Coffee stands out not only for its delightful offerings but also for the sense of community it fosters among its patrons. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite between classes or diving into a long study session, this cafe is equipped to meet your needs with charm and efficiency. Come and experience the vibes at Manager's Coffee—you won't leave disappointed!

Quite cool to have a cafe inside the university. The food is quite OK, but limited options, the environment of the cafe is quite 'manager's' style

Manager’s Coffee is one of the many cafes servicing students and lecturers at University Utara Malaysia (UUM). The coffee is not bad and the chicken chop is pretty good

Food and drinks, nothing really special. A little expensive compared to other cafe on campus. Ambiance and view is nice. There is a managers desk at the entrance, and it feels like entering a CEOs corner office.

What a delightful dining experience I had at this charming spot just in front of UUM library! The ambience exuded coziness, with soft lighting and thoughtfully arranged tables catering to individuals, pairs, and groups alike. I was pleasantly surprised by the option to customize my meal to suit my vegetarian preferences—a thoughtful touch that made me feel truly valued as a customer. Despite the short waiting time, the meal was prepared to perfection. I opted for the vegetarian carbonara paired with a comforting cup of hot chocolate, both of which exceeded my expectations in terms of flavor and presentation. While the price may not be the most student-friendly, it's certainly reasonable for working adults looking for a quality meal experience. I was particularly impressed by the cleanliness of the establishment, as well as the comfortable temperature and soothing background music that added to the overall ambiance. Needless to say, I'll be eagerly looking forward to my next visit, as this place has certainly earned a spot on my list of favorite dining spots in the area!

Best place to get chicken chop in UUM, tied with Sime Darby's western stall. Fast service, chilly jazzy atmosphere. Hotspot for meetings and discussions. The iced matcha here is decent.

Good food and strategic place. Name of the cafe is Manager Coffee but self service maybe not suitable.

It's rare to have a good café in public universities, especially in Malaysia. But this one has the ability to go wide. My suggestion is to double espresso shot in Latte, that's all.

The food was delightful overall. The chicken parmigiana and grilled chicken were both excellent, and I really enjoyed them. However, the aglio olio didn't quite meet my expectations.
