    Came across this place in FB and decided to pay a visit since we are coming Balik Pulau to collect our running shirt and bib. Paid rm32 for entrance and expect to see a nice farm but complete the whole farm in 10mins. Then go to the Cafe and ordered 2 plate of main course + 3 drinks totalling up to nearly rm95. We don't mind paying that price for food and drinks if there is no entrance ticket fee because the rm12 is not worth it at all as you can cover the farm in 10mins, that's how small it is The 2 star is for the taste of food, drinks, staff efforts. Good to come and try once but not worth second time.

    It's a farm for visiting so admission fee is charged at the entrance. Free for people with Balik Pulau IC. Attractions are hydroponic plants, animals and gorgeous photo-taking corners. The environment is beautiful and it felt like stepping into paradise if you took picture at the right angle with adequate editing skill. Cafe serves main course, dessert and beverage. Price is standard for a cafe. Floor crew were very helpful and polite. They told us that we pick the right time to visit. The place was flooded by people during weekend and holidays.

    The place quite nice. Went with my friend. They sell organic vege, their vege look fresh. We bought chocolate mint because the smell was so nice. Recommended place for ootd person. They have miniature goats, peacock, ducks, dwarf rabbits, casawary.They charged rm12 entrance fee for adult. Maybe they can consider to reduce the entrance fee. For me, i want to try their cafe, but to spend rm12 for the entrance fee,not worth for me( not really an ootd person). That place quite smelly because of the animals,but the scenery was ok. Maybe they can give free entrance for people who want to eat at their cafe😄. We ordered their hazelnut latte, it was nice.

    One of the best hidden cafes with a rich urban ambience surrounded by greens. Properly cooked delicious western dishes. I felt like I was eating at a restaurant in an expensive quiet residential neighborhood in Singapore, or a nice cafe in New York. Quick service. We will come back soon!

    Instagrammable cafe. Nice place if come with kids. Got nice vertical farm. Just that the entrance require fees and the food just average. Good thing is the food is halal. Suitable for gathering with Muslim friends.

    A nice family & kids friendly cafe for taking photo, enjoy meal, close experience with farm animal, mini goat are tame to touch, animal food can be purchase beside cafe. This place is quite easy to reach if your hotel is at Batu Ferringhi side. Meal price are on high side but it is fine. Remeber to visit the aquaphonic farm beside the entrance.

    Food is okay. Taste also good. Standard portion. Price a bit high if want to compared with the portion and market price but the cafe beside the lake so maybe this is the reason but if you plan to visit this cafe, you need to pay rm12 per person entrance fees to enter the farm first because the cafe is inside the farm. This place actually quite far from town and limited attraction inside the farm

    Without the entrance fees you can’t enter this cafe. Extremely expensive ticket at RM12/adult. Many seating available and pretty packed seat arrangement. Op to of the entrance fees, you need to pay additional form your drinks/foods. Not value for money if you’re simply want to be there for the cafe visit.

    A very nice place and good atmosphere for family outing. Surrounded by nature and animals especially the cute miniature goat! The cafe offering pasta, small bites and cakes which I feel that the price are well justified. The location is a little far from the city however it is worth a visit.

    The cafe is crowded but the environment is relaxing, I would love to have coffee there with the lake view, but if we can keep the lake a bit clearer, that will be great 😃 The farm is open and free of charge, the goat and peacock 🦚 walk around. The first time I saw how a male peacock tried to catch the attention of the female peacock. The bird nest opposite the cafe is a good place for photography but sometimes there is a queue. Overall a good experience here.

  • 4/5 sivvy l. 1 year ago on Google
    Unassuming from the outside. Pretty cool inside. Entrance fees of abt rm12 for malaysians. There's a petting zoo situation with peacocks, bunnies, golden pheasants, cute goats to name a few. Animals seem kinda used to humans roaming about taking pictures of them. There was a hydrophonic thing we could visit as part of the entrance fees but we didnt go. Its right next to the zoo-ey place. The cafe is pretty, overlooking a tiny pond, where there are ducks and fishes and stuff. The view is great. Only gripe is that the ourltdoor seating area can get hot. Tried a couple drinks which were all great and some cake which was decent too. Affordable pricing.

    Fun place to visit. Entry fee for Adults RM12 and RM8 for those below 18. It was enjoyable for my daughter and I on a public holiday.

  • 1/5 ST T. 1 year ago on Google
    Overrated. Entrance fee RM12, nice to see the peacock and animals. Animals not well taken care, some look sickly. But the place full of flies. Flies on the table, on the drink & food. Please see photo attached. Price for nasi lemak RM8 is cut throat, comes with soggy ikan bilis. Chicken chop RM26 is pricey considering how is was presented. Dirty toilet

    My wife, kid, and I went to the cafe for lunch on a weekday. Although there were not many fun and discovery learning activities available compared to other farms, the place was well-managed, organized, and clean. The environment was quiet and relaxing, making for a pleasant overall experience.

    Located at Pantai Aceh, Balik Pulau. A big area consists of lake, cafe, animals and hydroponic vegetables. Good food and service. Nice coffee, icy cold is perfect for hot sunny day. It’s a beautiful day, enjoying food and drinks over seeing the mini lake, nature and animals surrounding. A complete package, a destination for whole thing including photo spots. Very recommended!
