Discover Toko Mansure, a surprisingly modern and photogenic cafe in Lampung that's perfect for a budget-friendly hangout. Despite its old-fashioned name, this spot offers unbeatable value with most items under 30k. The main attraction? Main courses with incredibly generous, jumbo-sized rice portions! With a chill vibe, great coffee, and even a fun Photobox inside, it's an ideal spot for students and friends looking for a great deal and a good time.
The cafe scene in Pahoman, Lampung is super competitive, but lately, my friends and I have a new favorite spot to Nongkrong, and surprisingly, it's a place with a somewhat old-fashioned name, "Toko Mansure" (Toko means "shop" in Indonesian 😂).
Don't laugh, once you go inside, you'll know what Mantap is all about!
Chill for an afternoon without hurting your wallet
The moment you step inside, it's nothing like the small convenience store you'd imagine. It has a modern design, both the indoor and outdoor areas are clean and comfortable, the vibe is amazing, and it's super photogenic.[1] The key is, it's not noisy even when it's crowded, so you can have a quiet chat with friends or just spend an afternoon by yourself.
I personally love the butterscotch-flavored coffee called "Enggal"[2], the taste is incredible—sweet and smooth! My friend's order, the signature "Kopi Mansure"[3], is also great. It has honey, so the coffee flavor isn't too strong, perfect for friends who can't handle bitter drinks. If you're not a coffee drinker, you can try the highly recommended "Cheesecake milk"[4], which I hear is a hidden gem.
As for food, the menu has tons of options, from authentic Indonesian snacks to Western dishes. We ordered a bunch of Cireng and Tempe Mendoan, and they all tasted very authentic.[5]
Here's the main point, the rice portions for their main courses are truly Jumbo![6] For my friends with smaller appetites, promise me you'll either order a half portion or share between two people, otherwise you'll seriously have enough leftovers to take home for three more meals!
Let's be real…
Although I really like it, I have to be honest about a few things. You might be a bit confused on your first visit because you have to go to the cashier to order yourself. No one seats you or gives you a menu[7]. During peak hours, the food service can be a bit slow, so you'll need some patience. Also, some of the outdoor seats don't have backrests, so if you plan to sit for a long time, your butt might protest a little.[8]
Tips to Avoid Pitfalls / Save Money
As usual, I've highlighted the key points for you!
- 💰 Price: King of value for money! Drinks and food are generally around 18k-30k Indonesian Rupiah. Students, you can go for it without a second thought!
- 🅿️ Parking: Motorcycle parking is 2k[9]. For those driving, be aware that you have to park on the side of the road, which can be a bit of a test of your skills.
- 📸 Bonus Points: The shop surprisingly has a Photobox photo booth[10]! After eating and drinking, you can take a set of photos with your friends, Anjay! There's also a Musholla (prayer room), which is very thoughtful.
- 🗣️ Ordering: Go directly to the cashier to order. Don't just sit at your table foolishly waiting for a server
- Forget typical Indonesian "shops"! Toko Mansure is sleek, modern, and super photogenic indoors & out—perfect for afternoon tea [1].
- The butterscotch-flavored coffee "Enggal" is a must-try: sweet & smooth [2]. Not into bitter? Get the signature honey "Kopi Mansure" [3].
- Mains are JUMBO! Get huge portions for incredible value [4]. Food and drinks are a steal at just 18k-30k IDR
