Big Apple Donuts & Coffee @ Mydin Meru Raya

4.4(166)✓ Google-verified

Donuts are the draw here-reviewers praise them as fresh, creamy, and not overly sweet. The outlet is clean and some visits yield quick service. However, staff friendliness is wildly inconsistent. Multiple reviewers report rude, dismissive behavior and lack of eye contact from staff at the counter. Inventory issues also frustrate: hot donuts are often sold out or staff delay making them without clear timelines. Coffee quality is hit-and-miss, and some find it underwhelming compared to specialty cafes.

Recent visits split sharply: five-star reviews praise fast service, kind staff named Iera and Zety, and well-made tea drinks. However, multiple one-star reviews describe staff as rude, dismissive, and unwilling to engage with customers. One reviewer also reported a barista cutting a single espresso shot in half to serve two cups, leaving drinks watery and milky tasting.

Kenangan Coffee Meru Bestari

4.5(79)✓ Google-verified

Kenangan delivers dependable coffee in a calm setting. Most visits are quick, and regulars praise the richness and consistency of the brew. Male staff in particular earn mentions for speed and smooth execution. Recent slip-ups with order accuracy (regular milk instead of specialty, frappe mix-ups) and occasional grumpiness from front-of-house staff dent the otherwise solid reputation.
