1. Plantherapy by SPAZEHAUS

Plantherapy is a nature-themed cafe in Johor Bahru. Plantherapy is housed inside Spazehaus, an interior design company based in JB. As its unique glasshouse concept is inspired by a terrarium, hanging dried flowers and live plants pepper the interiors so you can get a taste of what it’s like to be in an enclosed nature bubble while you’re dining here too.

You've thought this through; a craving that needs to be met, a thirst to be quenched, or perhaps a memory waiting to be shaped.

They invite you to take five with them.

The food there is really good. I recommend it for the people who likes chocolates, and coffee. Well for me, its chocolate Waffle is amazing. The sweetness from chocolate waffle/ice cream and the bitterness from espresso (you can choose to pour it or not), makes it harmony. It has garlic prawn spaghetti which tastes wonderful, but its kinda too spicy. But it's delicious. I like the chocolate cake which soft centre which, paired with vanilla ice cream, and its delicious. I recommend the burnt cheese cake. Its yummy. It's Mille Crepe Cake is also delicious. It's creamy, and it melts in your mouth. Satisfying.
