Besides being made of glass, there are also other aspects of Forest Cafe’s architecture that make it refreshing to the eyes.
The building is asymmetrical, with a slanted roof and a curved facade that’s mostly made of glass. But while it has huge glass windows, natural light is diffused by grilles with circular holes so it doesn’t get hot inside the space.

The cafe’s forest theme gets more evident in its interior, with a nice amount of realistic-looking plants and small trees that make it seem as if you’re in a jungle.
