Girls, who would've thought that behind a temple in Pekanbaru, there's a cafe hidden like this? Honestly, if a friend hadn't shown me the way, I could've driven past 100 times and never found it. The location is seriously a bit Anjay… 🤣
A "Spiritual Corner" in a Temple
I was truly amazed the moment I walked in, it's so quiet! 🧘♀️ It's completely cut off from the bustling world outside. The entire space is decorated with coconut wood[1], and with traditional Javanese and Balinese music playing, my whole vibe instantly slowed down. I just wanted to Nongkrong here all afternoon.
Their main focus is on all-vegetarian and healthy concepts[2]; everything from the food to the drinks is vege. I ordered their signature Lucky rice[3], and the vegetables were super fresh. You could taste the natural sweetness of the ingredients, which was very refreshing. Their homemade Healthy Breads[4] are also great, with a dense, guilt-free texture.
Let's be real…
But to be fair, their coffee is made with soy milk[5], and the taste is... quite unique. If you're a traditional latte lover, you might not be used to it, haha. It really depends on your personal taste. But for those of you who like soy milk, you should give it a try; it has its own unique flavor.
