A Cafe, Plants, and Me
Being surrounded by greenery is truly delightful, especially for those who spend their days working in an office and find it difficult to access green spaces.
Green open spaces are a major draw for relaxation, especially in urban areas, and for those who aren't fortunate enough to have a private green space at home.
Actually, I'm fortunate to have a garden at home. So I can enjoy the beautiful greenery of my own garden. That's why I also enjoy visiting places that share the same vibe.
Like this time, I discovered a small cafe with a great green vibe. The place is called "Hutan Lokal Cafe and Plants".
As the name suggests, this place offers the experience of dining amidst beautiful plants. We can see various ornamental plants around the semi-outdoor space.
The variety of ornamental plants made me fall in love. I feel like I want to take all of these plants home, hehe. It feels peaceful to linger here.
Let's see what I ordered at this cafe. I ordered a lunch menu. I ordered salmon with a taro drink.
Of course, I'll order food and drinks that I can't cook at home. Something different.
Pan-seared salmon served with mashed potatoes, roasted baby corn, and salad. A simple presentation, but with delicious flavor.
The portion size was also appropriate. Not too much, not too little. It was deliciously filling.
The salmon itself was just the right level of doneness. It was paired with the perfect BBQ sauce.
What about the drinks? I'm interested in trying a cute drink menu. Look at this! A cute bear is seen swimming in the drink. Ehehe
Creamy taro with berry sauce. With a soft creamy blend.
The bear-shaped ice cube, on the other hand, tasted similar to sweet, soft ice cream. So, it melted quickly.
At first, I didn't want to eat this bear-shaped ice cube. Because it does look cute. But I have to finish it quickly before this cute bear melts in the heat here.
Overall, this drink is better called a dessert because it's sweet and creamy. It's perfect for enjoying after a meal, especially during the hot dry season.
After eating, I took a walk around the cafe. The atmosphere is so cool, perfect for people from urban areas who are busy working all day.
I like how well they've arranged this place. Even though it's just a simple arrangement of ornamental plants, ornamental plants also require extra care to keep them growing well. So, this is all worth appreciating! A thumbs up!
I'm glad I found this place to relax on my country's national holiday. In the morning, they were usually full of people, and reservations were required. So, I came in the afternoon, and the crowds were already thin. It gets a bit hot during the day, but that's okay because the greenery provides more oxygen. Overall, it's a nice place to visit, and I paid $7 for my lunch. ❤️

Finding such green spaces in the the cluster of big higgrises is always a gifts....it appears to be very peaceful places quite different concept for a cafe considering most cafes wanted to add glamour through expensive decoration.
I can see why you love that place. Such a wonderful green atmosphere. :)
After working in one room all day, we also get quite bored and tired, so this is the perfect time to relax ourselves when we go to such a beautiful place and give different types of flowers.
Oh, its another cafe with green sceneries and where plants and flowers was displayed. Its amazing that you have a lot of this in your area. At least, aside from your own home garden, you can also enjoy the one outside while enjoying a drinks and snacks. I also love the vibe in there so bright and looks really peaceful with all those beautiful plants.
What a delightful place to have lunch!
Magnific photos
Your salmon dish sounds delicious too
Do they rotate their plant collection often?
Greetings my dear friend. This cafe is super beautiful, nothing better than being surrounded by that beautiful green environment of plants, you must breathe a lot of peace and tranquility. The dish on your menu looks super delicious. Many blessings and success
Surrounding environments and food are so nice. Have a good day!
Such a nice place, great atmosphere, and lunch under $10 can't ask for much more! !BBH
The cafe feels refreshing and with the plants it looks o nice, the bear looks amazing too!! 😍
It's obvious you enjoyed the public holiday in a cozy and inspiring outlet. The cafe is really a beautiful space.
Oh, that cafe was so cool. The greenery surrounding was pleasing to the eye.
So peaceful and beautiful cafe! ✨ The food looks delicious, but that bear-shaped ice cube is just too adorable! 😍 It's so nice to find a place that's both calming and a treat for the eyes 💕
It is a beautiful and cozy space, consuming ajji should be an unforgettable memory, in an intimate environment that should remain in your memory.
This place is truly beautiful and the photos well taken.
Excellent.
I love how you've captured the serene vibe of Hutan Lokal Cafe and Plants—those lush ornamental plants truly make it feel like a mini oasis in the city. Your description of the pan-seared salmon with that perfect BBQ sauce and the creamy taro drink (complete with the adorable bear ice cube that you almost couldn't bear to eat!) had me craving a visit myself. It's inspiring to see how places like this blend nature and good food for a much-needed escape, especially on a holiday. Thanks for sharing your experience so vividly—keep exploring these green gems!
Hola, vaya que es un regalo, lugares muy tranquilos, es un ambiente tan verde, es hermoso, y vaya los tipos de flores, es increible, es luminoso, tiene hermosas plantas, es encantador.
The drink was what caught my attention the most in this post. I haven't seen anything this creative in a long time. Unfortunately, we don't have things like this in my country. We need things like this in the cafes we go to every day. Things that add a little color to our lives and make us smile.
Friend @anggreklestari no doubt this place is magical, how beautiful to be surrounded by all that nature
The food looks super delicious and not to mention the drink actually Lucia very tender with that bear
Thanks for sharing these beautiful moments and take us to know a little of your world, hugs from this side of the world
Las fotos de ese lugar transmiten una paz increíble.
Y los platillos de comida lucen deliciosos .
This "Hutan Lokal Cafe and Plants" is really so beautiful and cozy inside, with all these plants and the wooden interior! The salmon looks very delicious, and at first I couldn't really recognize that the bear was just made of ice cream, hehe. The price of $7 for the whole meal plus drink seems not to be high. I have the impression that living in Indonesia is actually cheaper than living in the Philippines!
Places like this are surely worth visiting. It helps us to see more clearly and appreciate the Precious works of God.
Thank you for sharing.
This dish looks delicious, although I have not tried salmon because it is expensive in my country. The place is really cosy and that contact with nature is much better. It really is a good place to visit in your country. Regards
the cozy place and plants give more positive vibes 😆
Is so cute the ice bearrr i love it 😍
@anggreklestari The way you described the café immediately pulled me into the scene, almost as if I was sitting there among the plants myself. There’s something magical about spaces that combine everyday comfort with a touch of nature, and the atmosphere you painted feels like a retreat from noise and stress. Plants truly change the energy of a place, and pairing them with a cozy drink makes the experience unforgettable. It reminds me how important it is to find corners of peace in our busy lives. Your storytelling carried a gentle calmness that lingers even after reading. Beautifully shared moment.
cute taro drink and I love that cute bear. I don't think I can eat it haha

How beautiful! I love the style of the whole place. Having coffee there and eating lunch like that is great.
The price for lunch was reasonable. I think it's great. It's a good place to unwind. I really like the plants and trees. :)
These types of places are essential to reminding us of what really matters to us. This particular one you visited looks great.
