Amid the bustling streets of Denpasar, Bali, a coffee shop with a classic ambiance and a dominant red theme has caught the attention of coffee lovers. Located at Jalan Kresna No. 3, West Denpasar, this café is always packed with customers willing to wait in line for hours just to taste its signature menu: butter coffee.
Butter coffee is not just an ordinary cup of coffee. Made from Bali’s robusta beans, known for their distinct bitterness, this drink is topped with premium butter that slowly melts into the hot brew. The result? A creamier coffee with a smooth aftertaste, offering a new experience for coffee enthusiasts.
It’s no surprise that this café, despite being only three months old, has quickly gone viral and even attracted customers from outside Bali. Some visitors admitted they were intrigued after seeing reviews on social media, especially TikTok, which highlighted the uniqueness of butter coffee—something previously unheard of on the Island of the Gods.
Besides butter coffee, priced at IDR 15,000 per cup, the café also offers various toast flavors, including pandan, chocolate, and sriyaka, at an affordable price of IDR 10,000. There are also heavier meal options like fried noodles, which remain budget-friendly. Despite its simple menu, the café sells over 150 cups of coffee and 150 toasts per day, proving that both the taste and the experience have captivated many.
Although the café is relatively small, it is never empty. In fact, some customers have to be turned away due to limited space. However, this only reinforces the fact that this butter coffee shop has successfully created a new trend in Bali’s coffee scene.
For those curious about the sensation of butter coffee, be prepared for a long queue. But one thing is certain—every sip of this creamy, robusta-infused delight offers a unique experience that’s hard to forget. (BT)
