Coffee Shops In Bandung
1. Blue Doors
Blue Doors is one of the pioneer coffee shops in Bandung. They still maintain their existence up until now by moving their outlet to a more strategic area, the popular Asia Afrika street. In this new location, Blue Doors occupy a former old grocery store building called Toko Medan. With a unique interior design, there are 3 areas in this coffee shop that you can choose while sipping your coffee. The first is the bar area, the second is the garden area, and the third is the rooftop area.

4. Spadaa Koffie
Bandung’s coffeeshop movement is sprinkled with a lot of cafes like Spadaa. Tucked away in the smaller buildings away from the busier commercial roads, Spadaa offers cosiness rather than space, and features a short but succinct menu of coffee, juices, sandwiches, and a few desserts. Spadaa does it with a little bit more style though. Located in an atrium behind a bright pink wall, another torn down wall separates the shabby-chic indoors from the garden outdoors where you’re served through a window.
With a bakery, a separated section for smokers and vapers alike, wooden boxes for your bags and purses, Spadaa even caters to its foreign visitors by providing free mosquito repellents. It seems like they’ve thought of every little detail to make sure your stay there is as comfortable as possible.

5. Tambuhak
Nestling itself in between two tall buildings near Pasteur, Tambuhak refers to itself as a food and beverage garden that is as much of a food court as it is coffeehouse. While at one end of the long garden six containers are stacked on top of each other that house the cafe, gelato bar, and rice bowl kitchen, further down the garden are five food stalls (or grobaks) and a mini market where you grab drinks out of the fridge yourself.
Tambuhak’s main draw is that it is a completely open-air garden that lights up at night with its over the top collection of fairy lights. The second draw is that it operates like a self-service food court, keeping prices low by discarding all service tax and encouraging customers to explore and sit inside, outside, and even on top of their colorful containers.

6. Two Cents
In the midst of the increasingly popular Riau area where there seem to always be new bars and restaurants popping up every day, Two Cents remains as one of the major draws for students and family alike. It is bustling with movement, energy, and enthusiasm. Brightly lit and covered in wooden panels and colorful murals, the positivity of the space is infectious.
Their experimental and fun approach to coffee is what makes Two Cents stand out the most, with their menu containing strange concoctions like the Basil Espressotini and Orange-Honey Latte Macchiato.
