pineyard cafe, janda baik.
saw this cafe on social media and got attracted to their beautiful exterior, hence we decided to stop by for brunch during our road trip couple weeks ago. even though it was on a monday, we were surprised at how many people were there, we queued for about 20 minutes to get a table.
the cafe is inside a really high wooden building that has a very nice structure, the rustic look matches the trees surroundings very much and there’s a pond at the side of the cafe too.
the menu is very similar to many cafes and based on reviews, we weren’t expecting too much, ordered toast, pasta and fish n chips and drinks as well. the food took a while, not too long but the staff were quite busy running around all the time.
food and drinks is pretty normal, it’s not bad but nothing to shout about, pricing is similar to the city as well. i would say the ambiance here is the main selling point, as we city folks don’t get much chances to be so close to nature after all. the surroundings are quite cooling even with the sun on a good weather day, which is a huge plus.
as we were leaving, the waiting queue got even longer, it is indeed a very popular spot for cafe lovers, can’t imagine the crowd during weekends, it’s scary given the current situation. best to go on weekdays and early to avoid crowd.
