1. Exterior and Parking Information

I visited on a weekend afternoon, and there was plenty of parking space,

so parking was a breeze!

With ample parking available,

it's a great spot to visit

without worrying about your car~

The cafe's exterior was notably clean and stylish.

A notice on the entrance glass door stated that pets are not allowed.

Please keep this in mind!

2. Menu

The ordering counter had a modern feel,

blending white tones with wood accents.

There were quite a few customers,

so there was a bit of a queue to order!

There was a diverse dining menu available.

Plenty of meal options like steak, pasta, and pizza, which was great!

The prices were a bit on the higher side.

By the way, dining menu items

can be enjoyed at the restaurant on the first floor!

This is the cafe menu!

The menu, filling an entire wall,

was easy to read.

A closer look at the cafe menu~!

As expected for a large cafe, the menu items

are quite pricey, aren't they!?

Next to the ordering area, there were several

electric ovens and microwaves for warming up bread.

I was really impressed by how hygienically everything was managed! 😄

​

2-1. Bakery Menu

On one side, beautifully packaged baked goods were arranged

in wooden baskets. They'd make excellent gifts!

Prices ranged from ~$2 to ~$3.

The bakery display was full of

various types of bread!

And once again, the prices were a bit on the higher side...!

There were so many different baked goods,

it was fun to browse.

Each pastry had a clearly marked price tag,

which was great. Haha.

Inside the refrigerated display case,

it was packed with colorful drinks!

Fruit juices, sodas, and more —

it was so much fun to choose from.

Prices ranged from about ~$1 to ~$2!

Beautiful cakes and croissants, among other delights,

were beautifully displayed in the showcase.

The strawberry and mango cakes

looked incredibly fresh and tempting!

Prices were in the ~$7 range.

3. Interior & Atmosphere

This is the restaurant area on the 1st floor!

Beyond the large glass windows, a verdant mountain

was visible – it was pure healing!

The seats looked incredibly comfortable too! Haha.

Brimming with natural light,

the photos turned out absolutely stunning~

As I visited on a Sunday weekend,

it was absolutely bustling with people!

Still, the expansive, open view was absolutely unbeatable! Haha.

The main area on the first floor was like an indoor garden,

where lush green plants and

brick tile flooring harmonized beautifully!

This nature-friendly space,

full of plants,

made my heart feel so relaxed.

Thanks to the towering trees,

it felt just like being outdoors~

So many people were taking photos here, haha!

The abundance of tropical plants, including palm trees,

created such an exotic ambiance!

It blended perfectly with the expansive window view,

making for a stunning sight! Haha.

And on the 1st floor, there's an outdoor Onam Reservoir view!!

This spot would be absolutely perfect for photos!

Now, let's take the elevator

up to the 2nd-floor cafe area!

Looking at the floor guide,

I realized once again just how spacious the cafe truly is.

The main seats on the 1st floor with the Onam Reservoir view,

are only available for restaurant guests, which

was a slight disappointment. T_T

The window seats on the 2nd floor offer stunning views of the Onam Reservoir,

and were incredibly popular for enjoying the view to the fullest!

The best part is that from the 2nd floor onwards, it's all cafe space,

meaning you can sit anywhere you like, which is fantastic!

However, since I visited on a weekend, this particular area was

quite crowded and noisy...!

That's why I chose to sit on the opposite side,

which I'll show you shortly! Haha.

But the view is absolutely gorgeous, isn't it?? ദ്ദി (ˊᗜˋა)

For seats on the opposite side of the reservoir view,

there are outlets between the tables and the wall,

making them perfect for working on your laptop or getting some study/work done!

There were plenty of great seats for focused work or study!

​

With lush greenery visible beyond the windows,

it felt wonderful to be surrounded by nature.

While the reservoir side was bustling with people,

the opposite side was wonderfully spacious and calm!

It was perfect for getting some work done, and there was plenty of space.

This is what it looks like from the 3rd floor, looking down.

Such a truly vast and open space!

The layout of the 3rd floor is quite similar to the 2nd floor, too!

​

It felt like an indoor garden,

making every corner feel fresh and pleasant.

There were also spaces like this, with low seating and

cream-colored fabric chairs

that gave off a cozy and comfortable vibe.

With its simple design,

it seemed perfect for a tranquil rest.

They also have high chairs available,

so even if you visit with children,

you can enjoy your time comfortably!

The low, tiered seating

gave off a unique and modern vibe.

I personally thought the cafe looked prettiest from this spot ( ⌯'ᵕ'⌯)

Thanks to the LED lighting, I bet the atmosphere is amazing at night too!

To one side, there was a designated Care Kids Zone and a Family Room,

which was a wonderful feature.

It seems perfect for families to relax comfortably with their children!

Their thoughtful consideration really stood out.

Here’s a peek inside the Family Room!

With bright wooden tables and

soft gray carpeting,

it looked incredibly cozy and comfortable.

There are even sliding doors,

making it perfect for a private experience~

There was even a separate VIP room!

It seemed to operate on a reservation basis.

The view from there must be absolutely stunning..!

In this quiet and luxurious atmosphere,

it would be perfect for meetings or special gatherings.

4. Menu Review

I ordered an Iced Americano (~$6) and a

Latte (~$7)!

Sitting by the window, enjoying the reservoir view while

sipping my coffee was simply wonderful...

Though the price was almost that of a hearty meal...

But hey, coffee and bread are always the right choice, aren't they?

I tried the sesame mochi bread and the salt bread!

The bread was reliably tasty!

It wasn't, like, unbelievably mind-blowingly delicious!! But still very good.

A delightful bite of sesame mochi bread, picked up with a fork!

The outside was crispy and the inside was soft.

Personally, I actually enjoyed the salt bread even more!

5. Final Thoughts

Hutan offered us the chance to enjoy breathtaking views of Onam Reservoir,

all from its lush indoor garden, overflowing with plants!

While the space itself was truly fantastic,

it's worth noting that the drink prices were a bit on the higher side,

and with so many visitors on weekends,

it could get a little noisy.

Just something to keep in mind! ㅠㅠ

But even with those small notes, the views and ambiance here were absolutely top-notch!
