Searching for the perfect work-from-cafe spot in Medan? Sangrai coffee house might be your new go-to. It's a dream for remote workers, boasting an abundance of power outlets and a quiet, cozy atmosphere. Enjoy high-quality coffee made from specialty beans and treat yourself to their famous Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake. With a mix of Western pastries and local Indonesian snacks, it's the ideal place to be productive or simply chill out with friends.
Every time I come to Medan for a business trip, finding a quiet place to work on my laptop is a real struggle… It's either as noisy as a pasar (market), or the power outlets are pitifully few. That was until a friend recommended this amazing shop with a high Google rating of 4.8[1], Sangrai coffee house. I finally found my savior!
Vibe on Point, Coffee is Life
The moment I walked in, the atmosphere was so Chill. It's not that cold, industrial style; the whole space is very Cozy. Natural light streams in through the large windows, making it feel warm and sunny, and the music is also just right, not disrupting my workflow at all. 💻
As a coffee head, I immediately ordered a Long Black[2] to test the waters. Anjay! The moment it hit my palate, I knew the beans were the real deal. The flavor was rich, definitely not the kind that's just watered down. I later chatted with the owner and found out that they're very particular about their beans, using 'Smoking Barels' roasted beans[3] from Jakarta. No wonder it's so Mantap!
When you're tired from working, you've got to have something sweet, right? Their signature Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake[4] is simply a stroke of genius! The balance between salty and sweet is just perfect, and the creamy texture paired with the aroma of the caramelized biscuit is divine. The friend I was with ordered the Mille Crêpe[5] and also said the taste was on point. You can't go wrong with your order here. 🍰
Let's be real…
After all that praise, I have to be honest. The only bug in this place might be the air conditioning[6]… sometimes it doesn't feel strong enough. For friends who can't stand the heat, you might want to pick a spot near an air vent. Also, the cleanliness of the restroom could use some improvement[7]. Hope the owner sees my little suggestion.
