Pinto Coffee
Pinto Coffee is not just a café; it is an experience. This café is yet another one that features the semi open-air concept. However, this time, it’s a lot more rustic and earthy. Everything from the bare frames to the tables and chairs are all made of wood, and there are areas where you can sit on the ground on mats, in the traditional style.
The highlight here has got to be their Banjaran Coffee, made with beans grown around the café itself. Pair this with any of their pastas, grilled cheese sandwiches or bagels.
