“ If you want to visit Lake Toba, Parapat, make sure that you also make a stop at Pematang Siantar. They had this legendary coffee shop located on the roadside. I ordered an iced coffee and white bread with srikaya, that was a great combination! The bread was very soft and it melts in your mouth, one portion was not enough haha! You could also order for takeaway so the pleasure won’t get away too fast. FYI, they had another menu for the drinks and snacks! ”
“ Great place, nice coffee and delicious Srikaya toast. ”
“ Come with a real oldish kopitiam vibes but so comfortable to have small talk or heavy conversation here. Came here to try the toast, which is already popular in the city. The toast cost around 15-16k IDR depends on the variant you order. There is 1 slice of toast which is cut into 6 parts in a portion. What I ordered is chocolate toast (using chocolate sprinkles but it's really melted in mouth when I have a bite). I highly recommend the Srikaya Toast bcs it's just taste so good!!! I ordered Iced Tea (20k IDR), and Milk Tea (25k IDR). Actually, the price is a bit pricey for local price, but in my opinion, the milk tea is taste perfectly right. Oh one more thing, if you come here, you really have to try their srikaya. They also sell srikaya per pack. There are 1/4 kg, 1/2 kg (75k IDR if I'm not mistaken) and 1 kg. It's expensive, but you can tell why they put such a price when you try the srikaya. ”
“ Simple local coffee shop where you can get local coffee, toast, and soft boiled egg. Open since 1936, so must be going something right - including making their own kaya! ”
“ Best coffee kaya toast in P. Siantar run by family. It maintained the traditional taste and way of preparation. A dying culture in cities and must be greatly supported. ”
