Have you ever been to a place that felt like home, even has little garden filled with beautiful plants and flowers?
People say that Malang has no limit when it comes to holiday destinations and coffeeshops. That might be true because this city always has various type of places to explore. And even though there are many new cafes, it seems like the concept is not the same from one place to another. They're similar, but each cafe provide its own characterictic.
When I lived in Malang, there were only few places that I could visit. One of them is Nara Coffee, a homey café with a small garden. Its located in Malang Regency, which according to Google Maps is about 10km from Malang train station. I didn’t even realized that I was exploring Malang Regency since I was stay in Malang City at that time.
Anyway, I went there by online motorbike and can’t even remember how long it took. Nara Coffee opens from 8am till 20pm. I came pretty early, and the place was still quite empty. So I had time to take videos and enjoy the calm atmosphere there.
Nara Coffee has the concept of a home with small garden in front of it, which makes this place not only look homey but also feel so comfy. There are indoor and outdoor areas that each have its own design.
If you want to focus on working, indoor are might be the best fit. I didn’t manage to capture the indoor area that much, its pretty small yet quite calming because usually visitor want to explore the garden area outside.
The garden has several spots to sit. But all of them look beautiful. Every corner of the Nara outdoor area can be an aesthetic photo spot. But the one in front of the window with “NARA” written on it is probably the main attraction for visitors.
Now when it comes to their menu, I can’t even remember what I ordered. But I found this picture, seems like I ordered crème brulee latte and chocolate croissant. I’m pretty sure it tasted good but the chocolate from the croissant kept falling off everytime I tried to cut it so I remember eat it almost separately🤣 bcs the chocolate doesn’t stick well to the bread. But this place has a variety of pastry menus with reasonable prices.
Actually, Nara Coffee has another indoor area across the garden but I didn’t go inside. The staff suggested me to go there during the rain, but I prefer being outside in the garden area so I stayed outside😁 its even more beautiful after it rains with all the plants are wet covered from the raindrops. I recommend going there earlier when its still so quite and empty. Breath in the fresh air, and spend time under the shady trees and surrounded by beautiful flowers.
Anyway, thanks for reading :) see you in the next cafe hopping!
