Unique Cafes in Malang City

Mind Entrance- Suryo Djagad

Have you ever, when going to coffee with friends, you confused about choosing the right coffee shop for you to spend time together? Usually, when one of your friends has recommended a coffee shop, your friends will ask, "Is the place good or not?" or "can you take photos?" Indeed, coffee shop and photography are two words that are now almost inseparable. Cafes that have their own uniqueness usually have more visitors than those who follow coffee shop standards in general, and of course the purpose of the general public there is to take photos to upload them on social media such as Instagram, in addition to have some coffee with friends and spending time there.

Well, the Mind Entrance Team has provided several recommendations for special cafes in Malang, which have their own uniqueness, both in terms of design and concept, and of course photo-able and Instagram-able for those of you who like taking photos! Just go ahead, check this one out!
