Discover a stunning glasshouse café in Lampung that feels like a slice of Bali! Its beautiful botanical garden setting is a dream for your social media feed. While the aesthetics are top-tier, this review gives a heads-up on the experience. Learn why it’s best to come for the photo-worthy ambiance, drinks, and desserts, but maybe eat your main course somewhere else first to avoid disappointment with the food and service.
Anjay! Honestly, to find a cafe with such top-tier aesthetics in a place like Lampung, I didn't believe it at first. When we drove up to the entrance and saw the glass house covered in climbing green plants, I instantly felt like I wasn't in Lampung, but had been transported to some trendy garden restaurant in Bali. Everyone on my social media thought I flew off for a vacation! 😂
Knees Bow to the Aesthetics vs. Stomach Defeated by the Taste
The whole space is like a giant greenhouse botanical garden, super Chill[1]. Sunlight streams in through the glass, and with the air conditioning, having a place like this to hang out on a tropical afternoon is simply Mantap! My friend and I found a corner to sit in, and I felt like my finger would get tired from pressing the shutter button; every angle was unbelievably beautiful.
Drawn in by the good reviews, I ordered a Waffle[2], and there were no complaints about this one—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and paired with ice cream, it was the taste of happiness. But! Here's the kicker... that salted egg chicken rice my friend ordered, I was so done! The batter on the outside of the chicken was still white, and when I bit into it, it was even bloody inside[3]. That raw smell just completely threw me off.
Besides the Beauty, I Dare Not Praise Anything Else
Okay, it's truly beautiful, but there were also a lot of things to complain about. We waited almost an hour and a half for that rice dish to be served, and we had to ask about it several times in between. The waiters were like they were sleepwalking[4]. Plus, there were flies constantly buzzing around our table, so the hygiene was a bit worrying[5]. A meal like this easily cost us almost 400,000 rupiah[6]. For this kind of experience? I really can't compliment the value for money.
A Guide to Avoiding the Pitfalls, You're Welcome!
- Know your purpose: If you're coming specifically to take photos and check in on social media, it's absolutely worth it! I give full marks for the ambiance. But if you're seriously looking for a place to eat, I'm begging you, run!
- Ordering tips: The only safe bets are desserts and drinks. The Waffle is a go. For main courses, especially chicken and beef, please be cautious! The probability of getting a bad dish is extremely high.
- Travel Tips: Parking spots are pitifully few, and it's hard to find one on weekends[7]. I suggest coming on a weekday, or just take a taxi/ride-hailing service.
- Strategy for grabbing a seat: The most popular glass greenhouse area is often privately booked or fully reserved[8]. If you want to get a prime spot, be sure to ask in advance.
- Instant Bali vibes! This sun-drenched cafe is overrun with greenery. My friends thought my photos were from a real vacation [1].
- Desserts are a sure bet! The Waffle is crispy out, fluffy in, served with ice cream—pure happiness [2].
- Every corner is a photo op. The space is a giant greenhouse botanical garden with a super Chill vibe.
