The State of Johor (柔佛), in West Malaysia, offers a ton of eating options with wide varieties of local Malaysian delights, Nanyang specialties, international cuisines, etc. Aside from take-away specialties of eateries, there are many food stuffs, especially traditional pastries, cakes, breads, buns, cookies, etc, from traditional bakeries and modern confectioneries to buy and take home or as gifts for others. And also coffee factories or their retail outlets for coffee beans and coffee powders.
I travelled around Johor frequently — including Johor Bahru, Kulai, Pontian, Kota Tinggi, Mersing, Kluang, Batu Pahat (including Yong Peng), Muar and Tangkak (not visited Segamat yet) — and have built a list of nice, popular shops for great pastries and such. And here, I am sharing my ever-expanding list.
