Teman Lama Coffee Shop

No wonder this place is such a big hype; the ambience is very calming with its mostly white and woody interior, cozy seatings and the chonky cats welcoming us! The coffee itself is very well made and brewed to perfection. People come here for hours of sitting and enjoying their warm beverages while doing the cafe-ish things such as opening their laptops, having a meeting or simply dating. A must go spot but you'd better come early or else most of the seats are booked.

Very nice place with some spots for instagrammable photos. Food is quite good, they have some choices of traditional snacks, so it’s nice for coffee time. You order at the cashier and find table on your own, and when your food and drinks are ready, they’ll call your name. Went there when they’d just opened for a few days, maybe, so the service was a little bit mixed up. But overall, it’s a good place to hang around with your friends and family.

My sister asked me to stop by and try their classic tiramisu; she said that they have a proper and nice tiramisu here. We find this place is hidden located in a residential area. Old homey set up and has both indoor and outdoor seating areas. Unlucky for us, the classic tiramisu is available by noon (we come at around 10-ish AM); the only available choice is Matcha tiramisu. It has a proper portion, not too sweet, which I like, and it has real lady finger inside (yeay). Overall, way better taste than the famous and viral one that I tried in Jakarta. Decent coffee and latte. They also offers selection of foods and main dishes, gelato, cookies and pastries. Friendly services, and they offer free water in a glass bottle.

Recommended by a friend from Bandung. The area itself is not like in Riau where all coffee shops are just next to each other. The parking lot for motorbikes are good but for cars would be challenging. But the place is nice and homey. Tables are good for work. They also have charging outlets everywhere. Good for WFC. There is indoor and outdoor area. I tried their signature, cold brew, I like it! They have quite balanced taste. Price is okay. My friend tried Healthy Juice something and it is also good. Fresh! They have different types of food as well, so no worries if you stay for longer period and have some food and drinks. There is a corner around the door where they provide free mineral water! All in all, I will def come back here especially if I need to work. Just take gojek and you will be fine (no stress to find parking lot).

From the outside it looks like a normal house, a small one even, with a very discreet logo of 3 people standing and a little parking lot for people. Once inside you’ll find a chic predominantly white warm and wood cafe with a coffee bar and a busy kitchen with an impressive selection of beans displayed from all over the world with some nice music playing to really get you hyped to start your day. On the outside there’s an open air area which is almost bigger than the main cafe full of trees, random bugs, and butterflies that adds to the serene and chill vibe. I had a couple of manual brews that came in charming little ceramic flasks and its little cup. Honestly it’s been a couple of weeks since I last went there so I don’t remember exactly what beans I had, but I bought a bag of the beans right after because it was so good. I’d like to note the staff (or maybe even the owner from the looks of it) was quite friendly and helpful, grounded the beans for me and even gave wonderful recommendation on what beans I should get. Would love to visit again if I’m ever around the area.
