It's really delicious while waiting for the sunset to cool off and eat dessert here. A wide selection of sweet drinks are also available. The location is really nice in this rooftop mall, in a very instagrammable area. There are also lots of food tenants around here so it's safe. IG: @Indra_Isnato

Was looking fwd to order Doutor in KL but counter was still not open at 10.30am. There was an elderly staff there eating his breakfast, just gestered me off when ask if shop is open. It’s a Japanese chain, with very very poor service. 😓 …

The premium Au Lait rich Houjicha is quite nice. The Japanese Shiratama & azuki parfait is ok. Can enjoy light dessert, coffee & tea

i was hoping it could be 100% be like the feeling in Japan standard. The cafe interior design is fine. But the drinks not similar to the Japan. Quite disappointed that they do not have the Doutor signature sandwiches, hotdogs and etc. Our favorite ice cocoa also different, it should be done without adding milk and with a scoop of whipped cream not the supermarket type of whipped cream.
I think Doutor Japan should have control the standard to be 99% be like Japan standard. Not the customer service standard also the food and drinks standardised.
Lastly, this is the second time got disappointed, first was in some Aeon Mall which i can't remember.
I will not visit anymore, no more 3rd disappointment.

I got the Iced hojicha and was good. Just the right amount of sweetness for me. Also not too crowded and was nice to chill there. Not the same standard as in Japan but good enough.
There was 1 staff working but he didn't seem like he wanted to take my order, he just stood near the sink and side-eyed me. Perhaps they could train their staff to be more friendly to their customers.

Value for money Japanese coffee at the Garden Dining Food Court. Self service. One man show operations makes the cpubter staff disgruntled and aloof. Black coffee is decent, but don't bother with the overly sweet sakura au lait.

If you are used to Doutor in Japan, this is nothing like that. It’s next to a food court, don’t serve pastries, cakes, bread..as in Japan. Has a very ‘cold and harsh’ feel, like it is an outlet in the food court, but Doutor Blend Coffee is good.

We went on a weekend and were easily able to order from our very friendly server and find a seat. We had the Honey Cafe au Lait and the soft serve Brown Sugar. I felt the ice cream, whilst delicious, could have done with a little more brown sugar flavouring.
Nice place to relax and enjoy some people watching.

Yummy and lots of choices around. Affordable as nothing is above RM15 here. Do try its Parfait. It's spaced inside of a Food Court hence lots of seating space around.

Went here after we got to know the cafe at Bon Odori. We had their coffee jelly in frozen cafe au lait, japanese shiratama and azuki parfait and sakura au lait warabimochi. I love that their coffee is slightly on the bitter side. The bitterness from the coffee jelly was also a nice touch between the blended milk coffee and the sweetened cream. The barista we had was meticulous in making our drinks. The sakura au lait warabimochi had a good balance in taste as it wasn't so sweet or bland. Parfait was good but I'd recommend their drinks. Overall ambiance was really nice, not too noisy or crowded since it's newly opened so I'd suggest to go and have a visit.

The coffee jelly was really good, and the royal milk tea was nice aswell. The syrup was provided if you want to make the drink sweeter. Would come again

I had the opportunity to stop over at doutor LaLaport yesterday (8/6/22) & tried the coffee jelly + a cafe latte. To my surprise, both were excellent and it was made by Mr.arai the store manager.
The menu was also very extensive & i will definately come back soon to try the other things. Please give this outlet a try if you like Japanese style coffee
