The captivating atmosphere at Santola Bar is an invitation in itself. With its relaxed environment and an eclectic playlist setting the perfect backdrop, it is an oasis for anyone longing for a quiet retreat or informal discussions with friends. While the space does not feature air conditioning, patrons appreciate the natural ventilation and vibrant energy that fills the cafe, encouraging you to indulge in leisurely conversations.

At Santola Bar, you will find a menu that tantalizes the taste buds with their well-crafted beverages. Popular choices such as Kopi Tarik Ice and Chocolate Freezio have earned rave reviews from visitors. One enthusiastic customer, Mohd Aznan, praised the Kopi Tarik Ice, exclaiming that one cup simply isn’t enough to satisfy his craving for its rich, aromatic flavor. Whether you’re a coffee connoisseur or someone who enjoys a sweet chocolate treat, there’s something here for everyone.

The cafe doesn’t just stop at beverages; it also serves a variety of light meals, including scrumptious options like the Tuna Cheese Sandwich Set.

Affordability is another key highlight of Santola Bar.

And if you’re driving, rest assured that parking is free, making your visit even more convenient.

Been here for the 1st time today. We order: 1. Kopi Tarik Ice 2 Chocolate Tea 3. Chocolate Freezio 4. Matcha Freezio All drinks taste really satisfying! I reorder the Kopi Tarik Ice immediately as 1 big cup is not enough to satisfy me for this first encounter as it tastes really delicious in my mouth. (My personal opinion) My kids also order Tuna Cheese Sandwich Set and it taste really good.

Enjoy cafe style coffee but the kopitiam price. What more can you ask for? Strong aromatic coffee and a good place for discussion. Plus...Parking is free.

Serving good coffee at affordable price if you join membership. Some lighter bites available. I chose chocolate and ham cheese sandwiches. Chocolate was too sweet for me. Ham cheese sandwich was pleasant. It's not air conditioned. Service, friendliness and attitude of staff are great too. Will come back again.
