Sick and tired of going to basic-looking cafes that all have that SAME industrial vibe?
We get you. Especially nowadays when the cafe market is getting too populated, it’s hard to fine cafes that actually stand out from the rest.
If you are looking to switch things up and reconnect with Mother Nature as you sip your coffee, jot down these 5 places that incorporate the greens of nature into the decor of their cafe.
Pineyard
Located outside of KL, Pineyard is a cafe which gained popularity last year when it newly opened.
Its popularity amongst cafe hunters come from its beautiful scenery of pine trees which encapsulate its dining area, allowing for patrons to literally dine in the forest.
A beautiful lake facing the back of the cafe and a mountainous scene surrounds the whole cafe, with natural sunlight beaming through its unwalled compounds.
Enjoy your meal and then take a walk around its lake and grassy lands to get great pictures of the green trees and bright blue skies.
If you are feeling more like eating something sweet, make sure to try out their flaky and buttery croissants too.
On average, you should be looking to spend RM35 for a meal with drinks.

Gardenage
Located at the humble shop lots of the Aranda residence, Gardenage is now the love of many Kota Kemuning peeps for a brunch spot.
Gardenage started out as purely a plant store, selling various pots, plants, wooden furniture for your porch, and fertilizers.
Green thumbs would come here to get a consultation of how to care for their plants as well as shop for new plant additions to their homes.
Initially, they would only serve coffee and simple croissants.
Later on, the dining area expanded to the shop lot beside and the menu was added with more complex dishes like pasta, croffles, bread, salmon, lamb and more.
In comparison to the previously introduced cafes, Gardenage’s price points are more competitive.
