I think the place is owned by some Buddhism organization. They sell Buddhism and vegetarian related books and also herbal tea and other kind of healthy products. You can also order a vegan drink to relax there, reading books. I like the healthy taste of their drinks. The whole atmosphere is peaceful.

By far the best place to work in a cafe in Kuching. There is no food, but there are nuts and cookies for sale for snack. What makes it outstanding: 1. the seating options. There are 3 tables with large fotels and many tables with cushioned chairs if you prefer working on a table top. 2. quiet classical music and the sound of the water from the zen garden. 3. the teas. The herbal teas are strong with deep flavor. My favorite so far is the lemon ginger.

This is honestly the best place in Kuching. The atmosphere is so calm and if you step through the door you will feel instantly how pressure relieves. It's a tea house, but to be honest they offer the best coffee we had in Malaysia. Also the people are so kind! We will come back

Japanese matcha latte (oat or soy milk option for vegans and sweetened or unsweetened) smells and tastes so good like in Japan. We also tried the hot Jew's Mallow & Job's Tear drink. Excellent! Thanks
