Krosal: A well-decorated cafe hidden in a tiny path that shapeshifts into a lounge at nights

Earthed in a tiny path near the gate of Mondial Centre, Krosal has been attracting lots of visitors lately. Exposing myself here, I couldn’t find the cafe at first even if I was using Google Maps because I’m so bad at directions, but after a few words of asking around, I finally arrived. 

From a humble entrance to a luxurious indoor space, the place is covered with a collection of antiques sided with plants and wooden furniture, making the place feel so vintage and cozy. 

The kind owner told me that the concept of this place is to make people feel cozy and away from all the hustle and bustle, that’s why he chose this specific hidden location. He also told me that he named the cafe Krosal to verbally show that customers, who come in, will be able to relax from all the business and be treated like kings. 

I ordered their one and only signature drink, Krosal Latte. This latte is made from coffee with rich cream and fresh milk steamed together, caramel as sweetener, making this drink very creamy and milky but still has a nice coffee aroma after every sip.

They just released their food menu therefore, there was not anything specific I wanted to try so I just went ahead and had good old Seafood Spaghetti, it was good, the shrimps were very fresh. I wished the spaghetti noodles had been cooked slightly longer though. 

After cafe hours, which is from 7 AM to 6 PM, Krosal shapeshifts into a lounge where you can order drinks and enjoy your evenings until 11 PM.

Overall, I think it is a great place for those who want to relax in a cozy environment alone or with their loved ones as the environment is very nice and they also have food and drinks. The prices are quite similar compared to other cafes and restaurants, not overpriced. Rating this place a 4.5/5 for the whole experience but for ambiance, definitely 5/5!
