I recently visited a cozy café in Malang, and overall, it was a delightful experience. The café specializes in desserts and drinks, and I had the chance to try a few items.

The coffee beans, they have 2 kinds, and it differs when you want your drink to be cold or hot. I ordered cafe latte and the biscuit accompaniment was more 'lotus biscoff' than the cake. I could taste speculoos clearly, albeit...

With its warm lighting, comfy seating, and relaxed vibe, it’s perfect for hanging out or WFA. There are plenty of outlets and fast Wi-Fi, so you can get stuff done without any stress.

Their Brownies were fresh, flaky, and not too sweet, just the right amount of indulgent.
