The latest reviews from real people you can trust
Walking past the famous banana cake shop in JB and you would also find another bakery just right beside it that usually full house on weekends.
Dona Bakehouse is an artisan bakery cafe, serving brunch menu if you able to dine-in here. Otherwise, you can grab some of their pastries back home like me.
Lost of pastries available on shelf display and I have chosen their Pistachio Rose Croissant & Vanilla Fran.
The Pistachio Rose Croissant is overwhelmed with the sweetness pistachio frangipanni and rose syrup in between, topped with crushed pistachio.
As for vanilla fran, it made with homemade pastry cream on croissant tart shell.
The wait is long even after you are seated. Understaffed (that day), even water took a long time to come
Quite crispy if a tad dry and with too much bite, but overall it's decent enough
A very popular place, esp w singaporeans, the Aircon makes people sit V long and so the queue moves extremely slowly. Even on a weekday morning we queued for 15-20mins
Food:
The cheese was a homogeneous slightly clumpy texture, crabstick strips filling tasted like fish balls.
Overall decent enough execution, it's not nearly as bad as I expected

(RM 11.90) Finally tried their matcha red bean crossiant as I tried their kaya crossiant previously. The matcha taste quite weird tbh but sauce texture was quite thick, milky and creamy. But the red bean filling is not much and just a mini scoop of it only :") The croissant texture was quite flaky, crispy and crunchy after reheating 5 mins around 150 degree celsius.
Idk what's the reverse part honestly but this was pretty dainty. The crumbly crust was good and the lemon flavour was well balanced. There's also a bitter cream in the middle which worked well in tandem w everything else
Overall a good piece, abit ex. Don't come an hour before they close cos they don't have many things left by then
Chilled milky coffee with a delicate floral aroma, a treat for the senses.
Sweet cold milk coffee infused with palm sugar, offering a pleasing treat for both the palate and soul.
This unique croissant filled with sweet raspberry goodness and topped with cream and fresh raspberries left us intrigued. While it was expected to be sweet and tangy, we found it to have a more savoury flavour profile. Nonetheless, the flaky texture made it a tasty treat.
A must-order item, especially if you're a cheese lover! These cheese sticks offer a beautiful cheese pull, with each bite bursting with cheesy goodness. Paired with the tangy tomato-based sauce, it's a heavenly combination.
We had high expectations for this dish, but unfortunately, it fell a bit short. While the coconut-infused butterfly pea rice was fluffy, its taste was rather ordinary and lacked the expected fragrance. The fried chicken, while tender, was a tad greasy. However, the sweet and spicy sambal provided a tasty kick, enhancing the overall experience.
