We absolutely love old buildings, especially when they’re treated with care and restored to their former beauty. Teman Lama is one such place where the insides have been stripped out and replaced with a modern fitout while keeping the original structure. It looks great!
I had a cappuccino and Susan had an iced coffee and both were excellent. The cappuccino was strong, had silky smooth milk and was severed in a tulip cup. The iced coffee was strong, flavoursome and perfect for a hot day. It’s the 3rd iced coffee in a row from Bandung coffee shops which has been strong and we really love this trend.
The food here is quite simple, but also very good. The Nasi Bakar Kencur was excellent — lots of bumbu, crispy chicken and tempe. Yore’s chicken had the potential to be bland and uninteresting, but it turned out to be tasty with the diced tomato cutting through the creaminess of the mayo. 
There are plenty of places to open your laptop and the chairs are comfortable enough to sit at for a few hours. Just make sure you have enough battery as the electricity sockets are limited. WiFi here was running at 22mbps down and 7mbps up when we were there and the cafe was half full.
This is a fantastic new modern cafe on the Bandung scene with reasonable prices, high quality and a fresh look. Worth a visit.
