“ A tranquil space suitable for working from cafe, with a calm atmosphere that promotes productivity without including drowsiness. While the prices for food and becerages may not be budget-friendly for students or those living away from home, but the deliciousness pf the food justifies the cost Additionally, the mineral water is refillable. One unique feature is the bathroom, which utilizes a skylight. ”
“ A very serene and cozy place in the heart of the city. The trees and all the greens are what makes this place feels so calm, the music is also not loud which is a good thing and more importantly the foods are really good. Tried the grilled chicken and the beef patty, it was well seasoned, big portion and tasty. The downside of this place is probably the availability of the parking area and the accessibility, recommended to use online ride rather than bringing your own vehicle since the parking is only for motorcycles. It’s also quite hard to find the cafe since there seems to be no sign at the front. Other than that, 10/10 would love to visit this place again. ”
“ A hidden cafe deep inside Karangbesuki neighbourhood. Motorcycle parking is at the backyard of this cafe, enter through the small alley next to this cafe. I don't recommend you to bring your car, since they don't have any proper parking for cars. They have tropical-industrial decoration, really like cafes in Canggu, and the coconut tree there really fits with the vibe. They sell mainly non-alcoholic drinks, but they provide cold beers as well. Kinda pricey if it's compared with any other cafe in Malang, but still reasonable. Definitely a must visit if you have an occasion in Malang. ”
“ Found this hidden gem in the center of Malang, I recommend here using motorcycle bcs the narrow street. The food is so tasty with the average price. Very worth to try ”
“ A pleasant hidden gem away from the city, you can spend hours in this place while enjoying one or two servings of the best tasting Tahu Cabe Garam ever (if you're not ordering that, you're truly missing out.) They also have quality 'menu oetama', consists of 3 choices of heavy meals, Spaghetti Ayam (spicy spaghetti with chicken in sweet sauce), Patty Platter (extremely tender inside but crispy outside beef patty with tomato sauce), and Nasi Ayam (not in the picture sadly.) Drinks are tasty but they're too sweet to my liking, though we didn't order much, so might come here again and will try other drinks. Oh, by the way, drinking water is free flow here, which is neat. Service is very nice too, they will gladly explain to you about the menu, since a lot of the drink names are using specific Sanskrit language. Verdict: definitely will come again / 10 ”
