Discover a hidden gem in Pekanbaru that’s not your average Kopitiam! This spot boasts a modern, spacious, and sparkling clean ambiance perfect for breakfast or a chill work session. The main attraction is its ridiculously long menu, offering endless choices from signature coffee and kwetiau to amazing fried sago noodles. With an early 6:30 AM opening, huge parking lot, and even vegetarian options, it's a convenient and must-try destination for any food lover facing delicious indecision.
Just found a hidden gem of a Kopitiam in Pekanbaru, and I have to tell you guys about it! For real, the moment I got the menu, I was stunned. It was several pages long and densely packed, from main courses to snacks to all kinds of coffee. My indecisiveness just exploded on the spot! 💥
An "Atypical" Kopitiam
I was shocked the moment I walked in; the ambiance is so unlike a traditional Indonesian coffee shop. The place combines two storefronts, making it feel really spacious, and it's so clean it practically shines, completely without that greasy feeling, super comfortable[1]. There are plenty of seats, plus free Wi-Fi and power outlets, so whether you're here to Nongkrong with friends or bring your laptop to Chill for an afternoon, it's totally stress-free.
As for the food, their signature items have to be the coffee and kwetiau (Kopi & Kwetiau)[2], but this time I went off the beaten path and tried their specialty fried sago noodles (Mie Sagu Goreng Nusantara)[3]. It had amazing 'wok hei,' and the flavor was so Mantap! The menu has way too many options[4]; I feel like you could come for a whole week and not eat the same thing twice.
Real Talk Time
Now that I've covered the good points, let's talk about a small downside. Although I didn't experience this myself, I heard from some friends that the tax calculation was a bit confusing when they paid the bill[5], like a 5k tax on a 12k drink... Anjay! So when you're paying, it's probably a good idea to take a closer look at your bill; it never hurts to double-check.
