Hello Hive Friends, have you had a cup of coffee today ?
Today I will be making my first post in Cinnamon Cup Coffee Community, and I happen to want to share the atmosphere of a Street Coffee in one of the places in Lhokseumawe City, Aceh, Indonesia.
This time I had the opportunity to enjoy coffee on the side of the road in Lhokseumawe City, Aceh Province, Indonesia which is right in front of the Islamic Center Mosque. The atmosphere in that place is very relaxed, they sell on a wide roadside, perfect for hanging out with friends while enjoying coffee. Usually they are open at night and will be crowded with shoppers. But I'm just here to enjoy the coffee, which is known to be very delicious. They are not alone, there are many street coffee sellers selling along the roadside in this place. Sometimes they make this place crowded, and that's a lot of fun.
They make coffee in a special place in the back of their car, and I think this is a Retro thing, usually they modified the back of a 1963 VW Bus to look Vintage. It turns out that a classic car like this can be turned into something that is very thick with its Vintage and Retro style.
The dim atmosphere of the yellow street lights also makes this place very relaxing to hang out, sometimes many people also take pictures in this area to take advantage of the atmosphere of this place.
They also put some tables and chairs to relax of course. With facilities like this, customers will be very happy to enjoy coffee and try out their friends even if it's just hanging out. I think marketing like this will really attract customers rather than selling coffee in crowded and closed coffee shops.
You can see how they make coffee in the back of the VW car. For the coffee maker, it is usually handled by one person, he is also the owner. But sometimes this business also consists of several owners who may both be able to make good coffee. I think it's very efficient, firstly we don't have to lift a lot of equipment if we want to move places and secondly, all the equipment will not be scattered everywhere, and of course only the owner and the coffee maker have access to the coffee maker when he lost something, he simply looked for it there.
Glasses, spoons, and small plates were placed or stuck in the inside of the car, they only took them out if there were customers.
This is the part where the coffee is made, it looks very clean and very neat. If you look closely, they also provide straws and coffee cup presses for customers who want to take-away
The menu is very large and varied, the prices are right and not too expensive. I ordered a Cold Espresso here which is a legendary drink in this place, and I think the coffee will be very good. The coffee is ground using a machine and everything works automatically. This will be very useful so that the coffee making process is not too long.
This very charming Cold Espresso costs around 13,000 IDR or $0.91 USD, that is a very cheap price for a cup of Cold Espresso. The size of the cup itself is slightly larger than a fist and of course it contains more. All drinks here are sold with two verai, cold and hot, so the drinks here have been adjusted according to customer requests.
I enjoyed it on my Bike, about the taste it didn't disappoint. A very cheap price for a very delicious cup of coffee, moreover they provide it in many variant which makes young people like me even more interested in drinking coffee.
I think that's a little story and my experience enjoying street coffee in Lhokseumawe City, Aceh, Indonesia. There will be many other stories about Coffee that I want to share, I hope you like it, thank you and see you in other posts.
