Discover a hidden gem in Pekanbaru! This hard-to-find spot is a cozy cafe by day, perfect for work with its aromatic coffee and impressive latte art. By night, it transforms into a lively bar with live music. The main attraction is the beef burger, praised as the "best in town" for its incredibly tender and juicy patty. It’s an affordable and cool hangout for any time of day, offering a unique dual atmosphere for visitors.
To be honest, while I was going in circles on Hasanuddin street following the navigation, I almost thought I was being pranked. This place doesn't even have a proper sign out front[1], just a few small words stuck on the glass door and window. If I hadn't been sharp-eyed, I would have totally missed it! 🤷♀️
Pushing the door open, the whole world instantly quieted down. During the day, this place is super cozy[2], the air is filled with the aroma of coffee, and it's perfect for bringing your laptop to get some work done or for chatting quietly with friends. There are smoking and non-smoking areas, which definitely gets a thumbs-up from me.
As a coffee addict, I had to start with a latte. When it arrived, Anjay! It actually had such beautiful latte art[3], which is not something you see often in Pekanbaru! The coffee quality is solid, smooth to the taste, and not that half-hearted instant coffee flavor. For my main course, I went straight for their much-hyped Beef Burger[4], and let me tell you, the patty was so tender and juicy, it really lives up to its reputation as the "best burger in town." My friend who ordered the Swedish Meatballs[5] also said the taste was classic, a favorite among regulars.
But, to be fair, it's not entirely perfect. The Caesar salad my friend ordered was a bit of a letdown; it didn't even come with an egg[6], which felt like the ingredients weren't chosen with much care. I hope the restaurant can improve on this. Also, the outdoor area could use a new coat of paint[7], as it's looking a bit worn out.

- What to do: If you want a quiet place to work, come during the day. If you're looking for a lively atmosphere, come on weekends or in the evening. There's live music[11], and it transforms into a cool little bar, perfect for Nongkrong
