Discover the secret behind the packed TUKU coffee shop inside a Bintaro gas station! This spot is your go-to for a quick, affordable caffeine fix. For just 18k, grab their signature Es Kopi Susu Tetangga, a smooth and creamy coffee made with palm sugar. While it's a grab-and-go joint, not a hangout spot, its 24/7 service and convenient parking make it the perfect pit stop for commuters needing a delicious boost any time of day.
Every time I pass by that BP gas station in Bintaro, I've always been curious why there's always a crowd of people packed in front of a small shop, it feels like there are more people than cars coming to get gas... Anjay! Today I finally couldn't resist and went to check it out, and it turns out to be a spot for the Indonesian national favorite coffee, TUKU! Opening inside a gas station, what a move. 🤣
Your Daily Coffee Fix, for Just 18k!
The shop is clean, bright, and well-designed, not at all what you'd expect from a place inside a gas station. But don't expect to Nongkrong here for an afternoon, the seating is pitifully scarce, basically just for waiting for your coffee or for takeout[1].
I randomly ordered the signature Es Kopi Susu Tetangga[2] (Iced Neighborhood Milk Coffee), for only 18,000 Indonesian Rupiah! One sip and I was like, Mantap! It doesn't use regular white sugar, but rather the special Indonesian palm sugar (Gula Aren)[3], so the sweetness is very gentle, and the milkiness is especially rich and smooth. The coffee flavor isn't sour or astringent, which is a godsend for girls who can't handle bitter coffee. Pair it with a classic Donat Kampung[4] (Village Donut), and I'm locking in this afternoon tea combo! 🔒
Real Talk & Guide to What to Avoid
To be honest, this really isn't a place to Chill. The space is small, so it gets crowded when there are a lot of people. You'll definitely have to queue on weekends and during the afternoon rush hour, but luckily, the staff are super fast, and you can usually get your order within 15 minutes[5]. If you're looking for a place to sit down to work or chat, I'd advise you to skip it.
Also, for environmental reasons, they don't provide free plastic bags, you have to buy one if you need it. Just a heads-up on that[6]!
