Discover Koat Coffee in Lampung, a spot with a split personality. While its glass design makes it a sauna by day, it transforms into a chill hotspot after sunset. This spacious, minimalist cafe is perfect for evening hangouts with live music and a great atmosphere. It’s also a digital nomad's dream, offering stable Wi-Fi and plenty of power outlets. Just a heads-up: the food quality can be inconsistent, but the Nasi Goreng is a reliably tasty choice.
I just got to Lampung and a friend immediately recommended this new place, Koat Coffee, saying it's the new hotspot for local young people. I was thinking of finding a place to WFC (Work From Cafe), so I rushed over in the morning. The result... Anjay! I almost fainted from the heat on the spot 🥵.
With its all-glass wall design, the sun shines directly in during the day, making the air conditioning feel like a decoration. I sat inside for less than half an hour and already wanted to bolt[1]. Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that the place is really spacious, I might have just left a bad review and walked out.
Sticking It Out Until Evening, the Vibe Completely Changes
I forced myself to move to the outdoor area and waited a while longer. As it started to get dark, the cafe's true charm began to show. The space is genuinely huge, with a minimalist design, and both the indoor and outdoor areas are very comfortable[2], perfect for a group of friends to come and Nongkrong. At night, they turn on the ambient lighting, and there's a small stage for live music. The atmosphere instantly becomes Mantap! 👍
It was filled with students on their laptops and young people working remotely. The Wi-Fi signal is stable, and there are enough power outlets, making it a really good spot for WFC[3].
As for the food, it's a bit of a mixed bag. The Nasi Goreng[4] I ordered was pretty good, with a solid smoky flavor from the wok. My friend also said their Rice Bowl Beef Gyudon Bulgogi[5] was delicious. But the table next to us complained that another meat dish they ordered was too salty, and some people grumbled that the quality of the coffee and food here isn't as good as other branches, which is a bit disappointing[6]. All I can say is, the quality control is a bit like Schrödinger's cat.
Editor's Honest Take (whispering...)
To be honest, this place has very stark pros and cons. The pros are the large space, great atmosphere, and how friendly it is for digital nomads. The cons are that it's boiling hot during the day, and the food quality is inconsistent. Oh, and by the way, if you come during a peak period like Eid al-Fitr, the serving speed might make you question your life choices, so be mentally prepared[7].
A Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls, You're Welcome!
For all you dears who want to check this place out, here's some heartfelt advice:
