What recent reviews say

Strong personalities emerge in this cafe: repeat customers celebrate sourdough sandwiches, smooth lattes, and staff like Kyaw Than Zinn and Rachel who go the extra mile. The bright, relaxed space in Seksyen 17 draws regulars. But execution falters. Takeaway charges for ill-fitting lids and missing straws annoy quick-service buyers; food temperature and plating consistency slip, and the dining area feels neglected. Worth a first visit for the drinks and baked goods; less reliable for daily breakfast runs.

Praised for
  • friendly and attentive staff
  • quality sourdough and sandwiches
  • good coffee (latte)
  • cozy and bright ambience
  • specialty honey products
Watch-outs
  • poor takeaway practicalities (lids, straws, packaging fees)
  • inconsistent food quality and temperature
  • messy environment
  • basic service lapses (plate placement)

Best for: Dine-in visitors hunting quality coffee and sourdough in a quiet corner.
Think twice if: Takeaway customers may face extra charges and missing basics; breakfast plating and food holding temperature can be careless.

Strengths

  • specialty-grade lattes
  • sourdough sandwiches with notable fillings
  • staff investment in customer experience
  • own honey sourcing and production

Worth knowing

  • Kyaw Than Zinn praised for proactive, warm service across multiple transactions
  • Rachel known for knowledge-sharing on honey sourcing and products
  • House-produced honey used in signature lattes and sourdough items
  • Takeaway charge of 50 cents per cup for packaging; customers report ill-fitting lids and no straws provided by default

Doux Doux draws loyal fans for its signature canelés and French pastry lineup in a cosy, decorated space. Coffee quality swings wildly, and loud music makes it impractical for working or meeting. Pricing sits at the premium end, though some staff lapses and hygiene concerns have rattled recent visitors.

Regulars return for the colonial-style setting, affordable portions, and reliable Western and local dishes. A few standout dishes (Belacan Chicken Wings, fish and chips) earn praise, but coffee draws mixed views and parking friction troubles lunch visits. A serious food-safety incident was reported alongside service gaps in how staff handle problems and explain charges.
