Don't let the "Fashion & Coffee" sign fool you. Tucked inside a Bukittinggi clothing store is a hidden gem that's serious about its brew. Move On Fashion & Coffee serves a truly authentic Cappuccino that will recharge your senses. Not a coffee fan? The Lemon Tea and Brownies are also must-tries. This cozy, intimate spot is the perfect quiet escape for solo visitors or a friend or two, but note that the space is small.
Strolling around Bukittinggi, I saw this small shop with a "Fashion & Coffee" sign, and I thought to myself: Another trendy spot trying to be a hybrid business? If you're selling clothes, just sell clothes. How good can the coffee be? Turns out… anjay, I almost missed a real gem!
They're serious about coffee, not just messing around
As soon as I walked in, the shop wasn't big, but the vibe was super chill. The barista wasn't just handsome (ahem 😆), he was also super chatty. He figured out my taste in just a few sentences, and his recommendation was totally on point[1].
I ordered a Cappuccino[2], and honestly, from the first sip, I knew this coffee was the "real deal". It's not that perfunctory sugary stuff; you can actually taste the aroma of the beans, the kind that wakes up your entire mind after drinking! No wonder some locals say their coffee is "addictive" and instantly recharges you[3], mantap!
For my friends who don't drink coffee, don't worry, their Lemon Tea[4] is also highly recommended. Pair it with their Brownies[5] or the special peanut snack Kacang Goreng[6], and you've got yourself a perfect, happy afternoon.
Real talk
But to be fair, the space in the shop is indeed not very big. Trying to bring a big group of friends to nongkrong might be a bit cramped[7]. It's more suitable for a small gathering of two or three friends, or for coming alone to zone out and enjoy a quiet moment with a good cup of coffee.
