Singapore has seen a fair number of pet cafés springing up over recent years, with felines and canines being the most popular animal companions.
Across the Causeway, a duck café has popped up in Ipoh, where patrons can cuddle and interact with its flock of domestic ducks.

The café also offers a wide selection of duck-inspired desserts.
Despite having opened for just slightly more than a week, Callduck Coffee Shop has caught the attention of several lifestyle blogs in Malaysia, and for obvious reasons.

In addition to its wide array of desserts and coffee, Callduck Coffee Shop’s selling point is clearly its ducks.
Animal lovers would be happy to learn that the ducks here aren’t used as ingredients, but rather for their therapeutic companionship.
As its name suggests, the café is also home to several call ducks — a breed of domestic ducks frequently kept as pets.

With their round heads and short bills, it’s easy to see why visitors are attracted to them.
Visitors can hold the ducks with relative ease thanks to their small, compact bodies.

There are even baby ducks at the café that might remind some of Sally from LINE Friends.

Based on pictures on social media, the ducks are kept safely in portable enclosures — surrounded by comfy duck plushies in a corner of the café.
Visitors who wish to have a closer interaction with the ducks may put in requests with the staff on duty, who’ll facilitate by bringing the ducks to the patrons’ tables.

The café’s menu also includes special ‘duck eggs’ that are actually made of chocolate, much like Easter eggs.
