Indonesia as one of the oldest coffee source had its own unique coffee cultures. Warung kopi or literary translated as coffee shop is well known though out Indonesia. Indonesia that consist very wide of cultures variety had these kinds of coffee shops in every single culture.
This kind of coffee shops usually serves coffee, traditional snacks, and some times some breakfast menus. But the looks and atmospheres are totally different. It’s totally gives an exotic view of Indonesian culture. The pricing are also very-very low. The unique thing about these coffee shops is that, often some business deals happen in these coffee shops. Many traditional entrepreneurs had their office here. They do marketing, selling products, or even giving some services at these coffee shops.
These days coffee shops are even more creative. Even though their looks are very traditional, but some even offer free internet services. And even though starbucks and other big coffee franchise company are keeps growing through out the country, these coffee shops will never dies since those companies never can reach the middle to the low economy class which is the majority here in Indonesia. Of how that’s possible, it’s due to the price and mainly to coffee they offers. The prices are way too high for them, and these people (the majority of Indonesian) prefer a whole different taste of coffee compare to the coffee these companies had to offer. These coffee geeks really know the best coffee. They really had a very high standard when it comes to coffee taste. The big coffee companies in Indonesia are always ask advises from these coffee geeks.
