Heritage Bites and Colonial Charm at Kawisari Cafe & Eatery

I went to Kawisari Cafe & Eatery, and traditional recipes from the Kawisari villagers inspired their food. The place is housed in this cool old Dutch colonial building that's all white and two stories high. The interior is so Indonesian, with wooden chairs covered in cute pastel cushions, rustic wooden tables, and huge paintings depicting the life of coffee farmers in Kawisari. The dining area is open-air and nothing like your typical cafes around here. The decor is on point! 🙌

Since I already had a big breakfast earlier, I ordered a light snack - Serabi Mak Mak, which is a Javanese Pancake. I tried the Original and Cheddar Cheese flavors. The cheddar cheese one was my favorite. Even though it was loaded with cheese, you could still taste the original pancake flavor, which was so good. The pancake had a soft texture with a crispy base. I also tried the Cascara Kurma, coffee cherry tea infused with fresh kurma. The tea had this herbaceous taste with subtle hints of cherry. So good! 😋
