This is my first time going to this cafe after it reopened. I use to come here everytime I was on a holiday in batam. But that was before covid. After the reopening, and it certainly offers a different vibe from the other. Great vibes, spacious, beautiful interior design. But most importantly: Remarkable Coffee recipe. Clean, cozy, nice layout - doesn’t feel cramped at all, enough space between tables which makes it comfortable to sit and chat or work. #batamguide#thingstodo

This is one of my favourite spots in Batam. I have nothing but praise for this place, staff are efficient, menus both food and drink with enough variety and pricing on point. Definitely our post Cycling/ running fuel place. They have some excellent food - the shakshuka is authentic, moreish and well-priced (love dat sausage). Pancakes are fluffy, chargrilled corn salad is well-balanced and bold. Coffee is super, and the Wira's blend tea is amazing. Music is vibin and ambience is comfy. Love it. #batamguide#couplestrip

Ice latte was on point with a mix crowd of meetings, students, and just combination of everyone. Id come back and soak in the atmosphere some more over a nice coffee. The music is great. They have various selection of coffee bean. We ordered nachos, salmon spaghetti, hot mint tea, and cold peach tea. The salmon spaghetti tastes so-so. But the nachos was delicious. Definitely will be back to hang-out with friends.They also have pastries too. I think this place might work for all types of people. #batamguide#staycation

A great green environment modern cafe, with new concepts, great food and cosy ambient. The ingredients of the food are high quality, very tasteful and fresh. A good healthy choice of herbal tea and afternoon homemade cakes. Quite a lot European dishes such as quiche, duck confit, pasta. I had a special Java herbal tea and duck confit, quality of duck is good, salad is ok, mashed potato is original. Location of this restaurant is easy access n beautiful. Its was transformed by a dutch house n right near to residential area. Car parking is available. Limited space. #batamguide #afternoonteatime

The service may seem a little slow sometimes. But the place is definitely cool. I even heard people come to this place just to enjoy its ambience. They have a beautiful restaurant that will make you amazed. I like the nature element. Make sure to take pictures when you come here. The staff are also very kind and helpful. But I think they should add more food & drink variants. The price is middle up and the taste is not so excellent. But still, you can choose this place for having chit chats with friends, working on ur laptop, even having a date with your special one. #batamguide #familytravel

Even though the café opens 24 hours, there is not much variety of the menu to choose during late nights. Moreover, you've got to order & pay first at the cashier. The environment, interior and exterior is really impressive. Loved the decor and nature it has. Had their Long Black which is pretty good! Unfortunately their mushroom and avocado has run out so I had their banana cake, not too bad. Service was good, really great place to just chill. I spent some time here just to write some postcards #batamguide#couplestrip

Cozy place, quite instagrammable. Order the famous batam style chicken porridge. Taste very good, big portion, comes with large "emping crackers". I have breakfast toast with scramble egg, sausage and mashed potatoes. Taste ok. My friend has pan seared salmon. Love the interior, they design the place seriously. It full when you come at friday night. A lot of people will come to spend their friday night and hangout with friends. The salmon's skin is crispy, the meat itself is tasty. It comes with spinach and cream. Price is ok, worth it, considering the atmosphere#batamguide

Good cafe with nice interior actually. Many menus are sold out even an iced tea. Quite pricey for me but still affordable. As this place is quite crowded so you have to queue for the table. The cafe ambiance was nice. Personally, I liked the interior - there is a tree inside which gives a calm and cool vibe. The cafe is spacious, and there are plenty of views to choose from. They have excellent service - very responsive and friendly. The internet connection is stable and fast with a charging spot. They provide non-smoking and smoking area but people will prefer non-smoking since it has better air conditioning. #batamguide#afternoonteatime

Lovely concept, great vibe, and just an overall nice place to hang out. I had a matcha latte with the avocado toast and the salmon toast. It was good. The atmosphere is cosy and warm. Lots of plants. The place is clean. Some things were bigger than expected while something was smaller. I would have appreciated a bigger matcha latteI ordered this waffle but quite take some time around 15-20mins waiting. And the portion is too big for me, better to have their smaller size with lower price rather than wasting. #batamguide#staycation

#batamguide Ladies, this temple is such a vibe. The Maha Vihara Duta Maitreya Temple is not only one of the biggest Buddhist temples in Southeast Asia – it’s also insanely peaceful. The moment you step inside, you’re wrapped in this calm, sacred energy. I walked around the peaceful gardens, admired the giant Laughing Buddha statues (so cute and joyful!), and even lit a few incense sticks. If you’re looking to take a breather from all the shopping and spa-ing, this is your soul’s spa day. 💫 There’s also a vegetarian restaurant inside that’s sooo good – even if you’re not veggie. Their tofu dishes were life-changing. 🍃💖 It’s quiet, welcoming, and truly a place to reconnect – whether with your thoughts, your journal, or your higher self. Bring a flowy dress, respect the space, and just soak in the tranquility. Total inner-peace unlocked. 🧘♀️✨

The place is quite limited. It's large enough and I'm pretty sure it could be optimized, yet somehow the tables and chairs seem too large for the room. Always love their latte, cappuccino, and flat white. As for the food, the Avocado Toast and the MushrooM Quiche are my favorites. The coffee is nice, the ambience also very homey. Anyway, the food is good and so does the beverage. Nice place for working and hanging out. They offer a great range of coffee and brewing methods. #batamguide#coffeelovers
