Cafe is located at Harbin retreat and belongs to Heart Consciousness Church. It is located near the spa center and close to the check in office.
The cafe comes in two parts. Their coffee/drink/pastry window is where you get your drinks, place all food orders and pay. It is open during their entire business hours (normally 7am to 8pm but could be wrong). Their coffee and tea are decent. I haven't tried other options here.
Their kitchen has different hours and located to the right of the drink window. It is where all cooking takes places and you can pickup food here. They used to call out names for your food but now has transitioned into a buzzing card calling you when your food is ready.
They come in plenty of outdoor seating (no heaters for colder days) and a trailer for indoor seating. It is also close to the garden for additional seating with great views. I am a bit sensitive to smells. Trailer is warm but it comes with smells.
Overall, their food is relatively healthy, definitely well prepared but a bit on a pricey side. Some wait time is expected. It has improved during my most recent trip. At some point during Covid, the wait could be 40min. I noticed it has come down quite a lot recently. They come with standard daily options and daily specials. I found them to be quite delicious.
Their protein is always well prepared. Salmon is always crispy on the side for the texture and tender inside. Chicken have always been tender and juicy. They also come with a lot of sauces to your liking. They recently rolled out this avocados based green sauce that I am obsessed with.
People are always friendly. It belongs to the church so the proceeds go to their church at the end of the day. read more
