Inside Yoyo Cafe & Mini Croissant
Yoyo Cafe & Mini Croissant sits along Jalan Tun Razak in Kota Kinabalu, providing a relaxed spot for locals and visitors looking for a casual caffeine fix paired with light bites. As a cafe, it blends a spacious indoor setting with an inviting atmosphere where friends gather or those working remotely can settle for a while. The space feels open and unhurried, making it a comfortable retreat from the city’s bustle, especially during weekday afternoons or early evenings.
What sets Yoyo apart in Kota Kinabalu’s cafe scene is its focus on croissants and milky teas. Regular visitors often praise the croissants for their distinct buttery flakiness and well-crafted dough—though some have noticed slight variations over time. The pastries serve well for a light breakfast or an afternoon snack, appealing mostly to those who appreciate a traditional European-style pastry adapted to local tastes.
On the drink front, Yoyo’s milky teas, including their signature Yam Milky Tea and bubble tea options, strike a balance between refreshment and sweetness without feeling overly sugary. These beverages are popular among island-hopping travelers wanting to cool down, and locals looking for a go-to bubble tea that is less heavy than some international chains. The staff here are noted to be friendly and attentive, adding to the inviting vibe.
Overall, Yoyo Cafe is best suited for casual visits—whether you’re popping in for a quick fix of milk tea after a day outdoors, or settling in with a croissant while catching up with friends. It’s not a crowded or noisy spot, but one where the pace slows enough to savor simple flavors without rush. Given its location on a main road but slightly off the busiest centers, it seems to attract a mix of neighborhood regulars and visitors who stumble upon it after exploring Kota Kinabalu's local neighborhoods.
