The Coffee Dock — Restaurant in Shah Alam

Deeply disappointed. Wouldnt recommend. My girls and I went on a Saturday night, around 8.15 PM.

My experience Ordered drinks and pancake around 8.15 PM tapi cashier cakap pancake kena tunggu sekejap so I said okay. Dah pukul 9PM, tapi still didnt get our pancake. Asked the barista, he said "oh tengah buat your order, dah siap nanti kitorang panggil". Dah 9.30PM still no pancake. Dah start hilang mood. Asked the barista again, he checked pastu cakap "Oh sorry pancake dah out of stock." So i said, "tapi I dah order dah sejam." rupanya they missed our order. Padahal masa kitorang order, orang tak ramai pun. So disappointed so I asked for refund. Tapi kelakarnya I bayar pakai QR, dorang refund pakai cash. That time malas dah nak cakap apa2 so I just go.

The barista shouldve checked for our order masa the first time I tanya dia. Tapi dia just cakap tengah buat. Agak frustrated.

Location The place is hidden in the middle of nowhere. The parking are super hard because it is located at the end of taman perumahan with super narrow road. Cars were parked on both sides. Surrounded by tall grass, semak samun and bamboos. Ada mines kat situ which personally I think does not add any charms at all because gelap and banyak nyamuk.

Service We luckily arrived when there is no line so okay la. Ordered Tropical Berry, Double Chocolate and Pancake. The cashier was friendly.

Price Quite overpriced because they serve you in small cup. Standard if you often go cafe hopping around Shah Alam. Harga cafe hipster. Rm9 for 2 pieces of pancake. Drinks were RM8 and RM11 respectively if I am not mistaken.

Ambiance Panas giler and the lines are getting longer around 9PM. The tables are quite full. Limited space. Bising dengan bunyi generator, bunyi lagu, bunyi barista jerit nama. Lastnya, couldnt hear your order kena panggil. They should invest in RECEIPT and BUZZER. Meja kerusi sumpah tak sturdy sbb batu. Meja pun bukan meja. Tong gulung wayar tu aduh susah nak cakap. Tengok gambar.

What they should improve Better parking Pakai buzzer instead of jerit nama Focus on drinks je kot if tak menang tangan buat food orders RECEIPT Better meja and kerusi If possible, generator...

I had a pleasant experience, but I have a few suggestions that could improve the place further:

Environment: The environment is excellent, but there are areas for improvement. The seating area on the slope has tables and chairs that are a bit unstable. It would be great if they could make a little effort to flatten that area for more comfortable seating.

Walkway: The walkway from the entrance to the cashier could be enhanced. I suggest using stone or wood to create a defined path. This would make the walk more accessible and safer, especially considering the area is slightly sloped and can become slippery after rain.

Ground Cover: Currently, they use chipping stone, which is okay, but I think quarry dust would be more suitable. It's smaller and would create a smoother surface.

Coffee: The coffee is good, but I think it could be even better if they considered using a blend of Arabica from Sumatra mixed with Brazilian beans for a nuttier flavour.

Food Packaging: Instead of using regular plastic, I suggest switching to BPA-free food-grade plastic, such as HDPE or PP, which are more suitable for hot food or items heated in the microwave.

Overall, it's a lovely spot, and with these improvements, I believe it could be...

Seating is limited, first come first serve no reservation allowed. Its best to come with at least 2person so one person can grab a seat, another queue to order.

Order at counter, when food is ready they will call your name to collect.

Matcha Latte (rm12); decent.

Double Chocolate (rm11); decent.

Nasi Lemak Packet (rm4); sambal taste so so.

Laksa (rm8); noodle soggy/soft, gravy watery but taste decent.

Kerabu Maggi (rm12); sotong icky stuff not cleaned, texture lam piat piat when i bite into it (so gross). taste of maggi is interesting.

They serve with plastic cutleries/container. Considering the lack of proper place for cleaning and cheap prices, i guess it make sense to use plastic.

If you're lucky, you get to watch the locals catching fish.

Do come on a clear/non rainy day. It was raining earlier, we arrived around 6pm and it was muddy. You need to becareful walking down to the cafe as it can...
