I was originally just looking for a place to Chill, but as soon as I got to the entrance of this Fore Coffee in Bandar Lampung, the parking attendant's antics gave me a rude awakening, Anjay! My good mood was almost ruined on the spot.
Luckily, as soon as I walked in, the sight of all the green plants and the clean, comfortable environment instantly calmed me down. As expected from Indonesia's national chain, they've really nailed the ambiance. It's great for coming to Nongkrong and chatting with friends, or bringing your laptop to WFC (Work From Cafe).
The coffee is pretty good, but there are some things to complain about
I sat down and quickly ordered to recover. I went for their signature Butterscotch Sea Salt Latte[1], a flavor of sweet and salty intertwined butterscotch, the texture is very smooth, and my first sip was like: Mmm, Mantap! It's just the flavor I like. However, my barista friends might find the beans to be on the darker roast side, and it was a bit scalding when it was first served, so be careful, girls with sensitive tongues[2]. For those who don't drink coffee, you can try the Almond Choco[3]. My friend ordered it and said the sweetness was just right, not too rich.
Real Talk
Although the coffee and ambiance are decent, there are quite a few things to complain about. The most frustrating thing is, for a place this big, there's actually only one unisex restroom[4]! During peak hours, you'll really wait until you're about to lose it, and if someone of the opposite sex is waiting outside, it's just so awkward... Also, the comfort level of some seats... emmm, let's just say they're more suited for sitting up straight.
Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls & Money-Saving Tips
Here are a few honest-to-goodness tips for everyone, if you plan to go, take note of these:
- Parking safety first! For the girls who come by motorcycle, definitely keep an eye on your helmet or bring it inside the cafe! Don't ask me how I know[5], it's a lesson learned the hard way.
- Attention, takeaway crowd! If you order multiple cups, remember to proactively ask the staff for a carrier bag[6], otherwise they might assume you have three heads and six arms. Also, once you get your drinks, make sure to check if the lids are on tight, or else if it spills in your vehicle, you'll really be "thanking" them[7].
- For the serious coffee lovers: If you feel the coffee isn't strong enough, don't be afraid to ask the barista for an extra shot[8], they'll know what you mean.
- Money-saving tip: I saw on their Instagram that they're promoting a hamper package, starting from 84K Indonesian Rupiah[9], if you're with friends or want to give it as a gift, this is a pretty good deal.
- Fore Coffee in Bandar Lampung is super calming with its lush greenery and clean space. Perfect for Nongkrong or WFC [1].
- The signature Butterscotch Sea Salt Latte is a smooth, salty-sweet blend that's Mantap! from the first sip [2].
- Find their gift hamper sets on Instagram from 84K IDR. Super worth it for sharing or gifting! [3].
