Dab Hand by Hiritsu Coffee Roastery is a café nestled in the quieter corner of Taman Sutera Utama, making it a comfortable spot for both casual coffee runs and relaxed afternoon meet-ups. The café’s emphasis is clearly on its thoughtfully brewed coffee, paired with light bites like waffles and a touch of local flair through their tomyam offering.

The atmosphere leans toward cozy and unhurried. On weekdays, especially during off-peak hours like mid-afternoon, it's pleasantly calm with easy parking nearby—a detail locals appreciate given the busy nature of Johor Bahru. Those craving a more private setting will find the mezzanine level inviting, furnished with soft sofas that encourage lingering conversations or quiet moments with a book.

The coffee service here involves a bit of guidance, suggesting an approach that suits both newcomers and true coffee enthusiasts who are curious about flavor profiles and the best ways to enjoy their drinks. Pastries come warmed, adding a comforting touch that complements the quality beverages.

Food-wise, the café offers a modest selection. Sweet treats like their croffle stand out, especially with layered elements like Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream and rich cocoa paste served separately to let guests customize each bite. Main dishes such as tomyam are available but only until 8pm, after which the focus shifts exclusively to desserts and drinks—making it a reliable spot for late-night sweet cravings or a soothing coffee without the bustle of full meal service.

This place suits those who enjoy a more intimate café experience with a local community vibe rather than a loud or busy environment. Whether you’re looking for a midweek pause or a relaxed spot for evening coffee and dessert, Dab Hand’s quiet corners and gentle service style offer a comfortable retreat within the suburban pulse of Skudai.

So enjoyed my coffee here. The staff all very pleasant n courteous and explained how the coffee are to be consumed. Another staff also mentioned that all the pastries are served warmed. Nice ambience with sofa on mezzanine level. The drinks are not cheap but worth it.

Great café with really good coffee and desserts. Everything we tried was delicious and well made, definitely a nice place to relax and enjoy something sweet. One thing to note is that after 8pm, they no longer serve main dishes — only desserts and drinks are available. Still, it’s a great spot for a late-night coffee or dessert craving. Would definitely come back!

Love the "Bring me go croffle". It has crispy croffle with quite a generous scoop of häagen dazs vanilla ice cream. 70.4% coco paste in a separate container is a well planned menu to suit those with sweet tooth and others. You can pour/dip/scoop however you want. Don't forget to top your croffle, ice cream and paste with the cookies bits. Do the same with the finger biscuit if you want a different combi from the croffle. I want to try their other croffles! As for the drinks, we ordered a normal white and cold brew grafefruit tea. The coffee was smooth, like the coffee roast&blend was VERY well balanced with the milk choice. It was decent but personal preferance to be with an extra shot or darker blend perhaps. But coffee is a very personal thing. Cold brew tea was not strong too. But i like the seatings. There's like bench seats, loft area and big table that can accomodate 6 pax. Shall try their food next time!

I like the food, environment, and service here — absolutely one of the best cafés in Sutera. There’s a cozy dining area on the second floor that’s private and quiet, perfect for enjoying a relaxed chat with friends.

I visited Dabhand cafe today and really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere. It wasn't crowded at 4 pm on a Monday, which made it even more relaxing. We ordered a few pastries and drinks, and I found the pastry options to be quite limited. Parking was a breeze, making the experience even more pleasant.

Kids friendly, went to Sutera Mall to find breakfast but cannot find cos it open at 10am. So we walk around and saw this Dab Hand. Went in to try to breakfast. Wow!! My kids love it. The coffee is special and nice! Totally love the coffee and breakfast.

Located inside Sutera skudai, this cafe is a great place that perfectly blends a spacious, clean layout with a truly cosy and aesthetic atmosphere. It was the perfect refuge from the hot weather outside; my coffee was served piping hot and tasted nice. Free dessert with a 5 stars review too. Thanks!

This place is awesome! We came for the specialty coffee and are not disappointed! We had Toumoromoshi (corn coffee) and Bring Me Go Coffee (house blend, Irish syrup, cream and chocolate)! We also ordered Egg Benedict and Tie Guan Yin financier. What a great way to start the day!
