Welcome to Michael Sue & Co., a charming café nestled in the picturesque town of Tanah Rata, Pahang. Known for its delightful blend of British and local Malaysian influences, this café is a must-visit for food enthusiasts and casual diners alike. Stepping into its cozy ambiance, you are embraced by the aroma of freshly baked scones that instantly lifts your spirits.

The star attraction here is undoubtedly the homemade scones. Customers rave about their exquisite texture and flavor, and for good reason! As Irvin Lim puts it, they are “soft on the inside, with a slight whiff of cinnamon,” creating an indulgent experience. Whether you opt for the Aunty Sue's Scone: Royal English for 2 (MYR 31), which serves up 4 pieces of these delicate treats paired with fragrant tea, or the British India version complete with masala chai (MYR 16), you’re in for a heavenly bite. These scones are perfect on their own, glistening with the promise of clotted cream or homemade jam.

But the offerings don’t stop there! Savor a delicious Tuna Egg Mayo Wrap (MYR 14) or a Crunchy Chicken Wrap (MYR 16) for a satisfying meal, complete with fresh garden salad and a hint of French dressing. If you’re searching for a filling local delight, try the Nasi Lemak, Malaysia’s national dish, served with fragrant rice that wafts enticingly through the air.

And let’s not forget about the refreshing milkshakes that make for the perfect sweet treat, such as the Fresh Strawberry Shake (MYR 14) bursting with juicy goodness or the rich Affogato Shake (MYR 15) that merges smooth vanilla ice cream with a bold shot of espresso.

The true magic of dining at Michael Sue & Co. lies not just in the food but also in the outstanding service. The owner greets you with a smile, keen to recommend the best pairings or ensure your experience is nothing short of exceptional. As Cameron Keyser notes, “the lady who owns the shop is super friendly and helpful,” making sure that every guest feels right at home. This dedication to hospitality transforms an average meal into an unforgettable experience.

Whether you are tucking into warm scones fresh out of the oven—like the lucky guests who echoed Nash's sentiment about experiencing them right as they came out—or exploring the inviting combinations of flavors in their gourmet wraps, each visit promises a chapter of delightful culinary memories. Don't be surprised if you find yourself wanting to return!

For those with a sweet tooth, the homemade jam deserves a special mention; it’s so good that some customers have wished to take it home. And if you’re lucky, as witnessed by Tassie T, you might even have the chance to have some delivered before your departure.

Visit Michael Sue & Co. in Tanah Rata whenever you venture into the Cameron Highlands—a delightful escape that celebrates the charm of local flavors fused with a European twist. Your palate will thank you!

This has got to be the best scones i tasted. Soft on the inside, with a slight whiff of cinammon, elevating the taste. Even cold ones are good to eat, let alone freshly baked or heated, with or without the spreads. Heavenly. The ladyboss is exceptionally helpful and nice! Now i have a must go to whenever i am in Cameron Highlands.

My wife and I both really enjoyed the food and drinks at this restaurant/cafe. It is a bit off the main road but worth venturing over to. The lady who owns the shop is super friendly and helpful when deciding what to order. We ordered the espresso, fresh strawberry shake, homemade scone and masala chai. Everything was very tasty. We especially liked the homemade scones that came with fresh strawberry jam and the strawberry milkshake. One thing to note is that it is cash only and credit card is not accepted. Highly recommend trying this restaurant/cafe when in Tanah Rata.

Had Devonshire tea at Michael Sue & Co and it was great! The scones were super fresh and the homemade jam with cream was delicious. We enjoyed the jam so much we wanted to buy some, but they were out—so they actually offered to drop it off to us before we left the next day. Seriously amazing service. Definitely recommend!

They serve the best (based on my experience) authentic scones. We were quite lucky that we arrived around the time their scones came out of the oven. We get to experience their fresh scones. Most important was the hospitality offered, warm from the moment we stepped into the shop until we waved goodbyes. A must visit when in Cameron.

After trying out so many scones in all the rest of the areas around Cameron Highlands (including some of the cheapest to the most expensive sets), I've got to say, this little spot here has The Best Scones. Crisp and nicely baked on the outside, soft yet crumbly on the inside. Happy to say, these were baked to my kind of perfection. Scoop a generous portion of their clotted cream on to it with a dollop of their home made jam & you've got a winner in your hands (or mouth!) Absolutely love the taste and texture of the scones in this little place (none of that under cooked/baked dough like some places). Went back twice Infact, and the standards are well the same. For those who do not like it sweet, the salted butter helps to balance out the tastes. That said, the cafe is truly a small area, nestled inbetween a row of small business lots, with ventilation fans facing outward to the front of the shops. Curiously, there's no backdoor and there's no toilet to be had. Make sure to go to the loo before you visit this cafe. The only thing that makes it slightly unpleasant is when they cook up something, and the smell is just mostly lingering around the cafe. The ventilation fans help, but it's an odd design that syphon the smells out through the front (thus making us smell it all) and not through the back. If you sit there any longer, the smell will cling to your clothes. Do order a cup of Masala tea if you're a fan. It is brewed on the spot. We loved the spiciness & aroma of the chai, but of course, standard milk is used, so in terms of authenticity, it is not the top tier of Masala teas. Otherwise, the taste of the tea is light, tasty & lovely to go with the scones set. The way to the cafe is an easy walk of less than 15mins from the centre of Tanah Rata.

The strawberry jam was just right — not overly sweet like the usual ones. The scones were served warm, perfect with butter, cream, and the jam. Paired with apple tea, the set came with two scones. It was so good that our whole group ended up ordering plenty more!

The scones were so tasty and the hospitality service is outstanding. They were very attentive and friendly. Got some freshly baked scones as well and the strawberry jam is a winner as well. Would love to go again!!!
