Was so happy to find out it's opened here in KL. Always have it whenever I'm in Singapore. Went there today to pick it up. 1st bite, sooooooooooooooooooooo very disappointed. No where near Singapore's mochi. Sooooo hard, if i throw it at a cat, I think I'll give it a concussion. If you can't maintain the taste of the franchise, better don't sell it at all.

I’ve always loved your French bread — it’s easily the best in Malaysia. That’s why I was a bit disappointed to notice a recent drop in quality. I truly hope this isn’t a sign of cutting corners, because your bread has always stood out for its taste and authenticity. I’m still a loyal customer, and I really hope to see the original quality return soon!

Very expensive, price don't suit with the portion. It cost RM15 for 2 bread! Lavenders bread is much more delicious and cheaper then this store. Their toffee/caramel only is one sided, Lavender has the toffee on the whole Danish. They have special pastries and breads but the pricing is way to high.

First time try their pastry. Below expectation. The pastries are cold and texture is quite solid ans abit hard to chew. It is not flaky crunchy type of croissant. Mango custard puff taste too artificial. Cheese cake and the mango puff are way too sweet.

This bakery is a hidden gem opened by a Japanese. The melon bread, cheese cake and bread is of high standard. The bread price is quite affordable and the bakers are friendly. I can sense the bakers used good butter & flour for the pastries. If you are looking for a quick snack this bakery is a good stop. They have a nice selection of baked goods. The service is very fast and it has a casual mall atmosphere. I am a happy customer and I will definitely return again.

Small french bakery store in lala port. The selection is not that many, but we can see that all products area made by care. All bread that we bought are good. The dough is soft. Price is moderate. They oddly separate the transaction for regular bread with mini selection of croissant, cheese cake, etc. Located in LG, just beside the escalator to parking lot. Recommended

Great french pastries at good prices. Everything we tried was delicious. It was unexpected to find such authentic and well made french pastries in the heart of Kuala Lumpur! They use fresh, high quality ingredients, that I could taste from the first bite. At some point, they even had Kouign Amann, a local french speciality, from Bretagne. It was delicious and flawless! Chapeau!

Tried the top 3 best sellers — shio pan, cheese bread, and cream cheese brioche. My favorite would be the shio pan! So delicious, buttery and soft 🥐🤩😋. Recommended to eat it immediately after you buy when it’s still very slightly warm! The cheese bread was very average, and the cream cheese brioche could do with a lot more filling of the cream cheese, cause I’m greedy like that 😆😋😙. They also sell those tiny cheesecakes and chocolate mochis in bite sized pieces, very tasty and cute if you’re looking for a snack to munch on! 🥰👍

If you are looking for a quick snack this bakery is a good stop. They have a nice selection of baked goods. I’ve been to better bakery’s with booger selections. The service is very fast and it has a casual mall atmosphere.

Tucked away on the lower ground floor of Lalaport, this Japanese bakery is a hidden gem. After trying a sample, I instantly loved the taste. My favorite is the Mentaiko France, a French bread with mentaiko filling. The basic salt and butter bread is also delicious. If you're unsure what to pick, they have a list of their most popular items, so you can't go wrong.

Donq Bakery at Lalaport is an absolute gem! I keep coming back for their perfectly baked shio pan—crispy on the outside, soft and buttery inside. And don’t miss the mini mochi from Mini One—chewy, lightly sweet, and so addictive. Consistently good quality and always a treat. Highly recommended!

So glad my wife and I discovered this Japanese bakery. We have patronized many times and tried the various types of bread, buns and pastries... they were delicious. The ingredients were top grade and baked to perfection. We preferred the Japanese style pastries as they are softer and have finer textures. IMHO, this is one of the better bakeries in town and how wonderful that we now don't need to travel to Japan to enjoy such treats.

Food at DONQ is all about breads, pastries, and other baked goods. Made with French and Japanese ingredients or techniques, each bread is well crafted and tasty. The good quality here means prices are higher than others bakery shop. But worth it.

What a lucky day!!! I never know this bakery shop has landed KL (which is my second home). I used to be his top fans in my hometown, basically visit few times in a month for his baguette. YOU will find everything so nice, worth a penny for his products!
Bread made with potato and cheese. It is a popular item in Sapporo store.
Crunchy crust cheese sandwiched with chicken ham, tomato and onion. It is the Chief Baker's recommendation from Hiroshima store.
A popular item at the Kyoto store that uses Kyoto Uji Matcha added with red beans and black beans.
It has an extra crispy layer, of which the texture is different from the ordinary melon pan. It is a popular item at the Ikebukuro store in Tokyo for more than 20 years.
Soft bread in cinnamon almond cream mixed with raisin and apple. It is a popular bread at the Nihonbashi store in Tokyo.
An idea from Okinawa Chef using Earl Grey tea and orange added with honey and cheese. It is an Okinawa Store popular bread.
