Aesthetic man-made cave at Batam!

Hello Zesties!

First post dedicated to my Batam trip — went to Maru Cafe on my last day to see what’s the hype & was really amazed by all aesthetic as the exterior + interior were so nicely done!!

Went in arnd 1.30pm and waited nearly 1hr (yikes) but definitely worth the wait!

Pls order their pizza/garlic donut as it was so buttery, soft and addictively yums that I had to dapao back to SG LOL!

Oh please swipe till the end for the price tag!!!

... Read moreIf you're planning a visit to Batam and looking for a cafe with a unique twist, Maru Cafe's man-made cave concept is a highlight you shouldn't miss. The carefully designed cave-like interior creates a cozy, Instagram-worthy atmosphere that enhances the whole experience. What truly sets Maru Cafe apart are their signature pizza donuts and the rich, buttery garlic cheese donuts, which I found addictively delicious. I took some back home to Singapore because they were just that good! Besides the great food, the prices are surprisingly affordable, with each donut costing less than SGD 2 as shown on the price tags. This makes it an excellent choice for travelers who want to enjoy good food without breaking the bank. Do expect a wait, especially around peak hours like early afternoon; I waited for nearly an hour, but the ambiance and quality made up for it. Maru Cafe is also conveniently located for those exploring Batam's cafe scene, fitting well alongside other popular spots like Royal Hot Pot Batam. If cheesecake is your thing, their Maru cheesecake is another treat to try during your visit. Overall, Maru Cafe offers a combination of aesthetic charm and tasty treats, making it a memorable destination on your Batam trip!

Overhyped or hidden gem? 👀✨ overall, the food was okay still worth considering for the vibes and photo spots. 😙 Lots of matcha variations if you’re into it, though I can’t personally comment since I don’t drink matcha 🍵 📍 Hibi by Wizards No.42 Jalan Eko Botani, Persiaran Eko Botani 2, Taman Ek
