The presence of The Parque Cafe causes the aroma of fresh brewed coffee to be spread across the whole sanctuary which captivates outsider like me, wanting to visit the cafe eagerly. Parque Cafe is brewed and operated by an enthusiastic team called Coffee Concepts, which are based in Johor. Speaking of management, Coffee Concepts also manages Palladium Cafe in Eco Spring Show Village, Johor - the first cafe that marked their first inspired glasshouse cafe concept in Malaysia. The glasshouse cafe received so much love from the public that it has led to further expansion of business today.
Glasshouse?
Inspired by the recent top-chart music video composed by Jay Chou (Taiwanese artist). The beautiful and elegant looking glasshouse design is one-of-a-kind, as it does not required any complicated blueprints, just plain concretes, high-graded wood and some glass panels as finishing touch. However due to its design, it has limited room for seatings and the temperature inside the glasshouse can be fairly warm when the sun is at its peak. Best time to visit Parque - either before noon or late evening, for a better cafe hopping experience :)

"A pride that represents Parque, the glasshouse cafe design."

"Surreal captures of barista's daily"

Knowing that they have two types of coffee blend, I opt for a cup of long black by using their single origin (Ethiopia Konga) to start-up my day. A fairly "clean" cup that has noticeable brightness in it and loaded with fruity notes.

-> Cappuccino
To spice up my cafe hopping experience a little, I got myself a slice of lemon cheese cake to go along with my coffee. The texture of this lemon cheese cake was perfect, as it reminded me of having delicious cheese cake in Artisan Roast Cafe back in the old days... The crust sprinkled with dash of sugar balances the acidity of the lemon cheese, Great!


Having said all of the above, I spent a great time alone in The Parque Cafe admiring the sight of walk-ins interacting with the passionate baristas, listening to calm music stream through the air and enjoy reading some random write-up over the net. A great place to be at...
