We came here after a rather pleasant experience at the Immigration office. What better way to celebrate efficient bureaucracy than by visiting a new coffee shop.
Serantau is a large open-sided building, neatly decorated which is ideal for hanging out with friends. It’s one of those places that absolutely thrives when groups of people get together to nongkrong. Smoking is allowed.
The coffee here is manual and their espresso is made without a machine. For a cappuccino made without an espresso machine, I have to say that my coffee was pretty good and better than some others in Bandung which are made with an expensive machine.
Susan had iced coffee Serantau and she enjoyed it. The best part was that the coffee flavour wasn’t too overpowering — perfect for those who like coffee, but not that really strong flavour you sometimes get.
There are plenty of spaces here for opening a laptop, plenty of electricity sockets and the wifi is fast at 47mbps down and 10mbps up. Definitely a place you can come and work at, but there is no air conditioning.
A decent new coffee shop on the Bandung scene for people more interested in nongkrong and low prices.
