☕ You Can Literally Do Anything Here
From working sessions, yap dates, catching up with friends, solo healing time, to romantic coffee/matcha dates — and the food is actually top notch too 🤍
I am highly recommend this cafe as your working buddies. It is located in Dukuh Kupang Surabaya, near flower shop. I am describing the ambience as a productive cozy without feeling too stiff. This is the kind of place where you can open your laptop, ...

24/7 café with 24/7 high-quality taste — they seriously never miss the spotlight 🤍
We The Fork is one of those places where I came for the ambience but stayed because the food was THAT good 😭
Their mac & cheese is honestly one of the best in Surabaya for me — creamy, rich, cheesy in the right way, and super comforting.
They mainly serve steaks and other meat dishes, but what I really like is that even at a relatively affordable price, the meat quality still tastes premium and well-seasoned. Not the “cheap steak but chewy and sad” type at all 😔
Also love how versatile this place is. You can literally work here, lunch/dinner, have meetings, yapping with friends, or just a casual dates.

This is one of those cafés that somehow works for literally every mood 😭.
Need to work until midnight? Need a place to yap with friends for hours? Need coffee after a mental breakdown? They got you because YES… they’re open 24/7. The place itself is modern, spacious, and gives that clean minimal futuristic vibe. I also lov...
But honestly, what makes me keep coming back is the coffee quality. You can tell they actually care about their beans and brewing process instead of just selling an aesthetic place. Their dishes are also very nice and yummy!!

TETRA COFFEE & EATERY SURABAYA, Gubeng Kertajaya Surabaya
Surabaya Barat niiii, tempatnya enak, makanannya semua enak, kopi juga mantap, barista mereka beneran hobi banget develop new beverage yang emang ga bokis. Buat yang ngerokok pasti betah di sini karna termasuk indoor dan ada exhaustnya, dingin pula!!...

🥤 Just for Drinks, Not for Camping Here 😭
Places I go when I just want a really good coffee/matcha/drink without necessarily staying for hours. Not exactly my top pick for working or long hangouts, but the drinks are so worth every penny 🤍

NOCS Coffee is the kind of place I’d recommend when you just want to slow down for a bit — alone, with your thoughts, a really good cup of coffee, and maybe something sweet on the side.
Their beans and the way they brew them feel very thoughtful and skilled. The coffee is aromatic, clean, and has that lingering aftertaste that stays pleasantly in your mouth even after a few sips. I personally love their Ethiopia beans with blueberry...
Don’t expect a huge coffee shop for long hangouts or big group gatherings though — the space is quite small and intimate. But honestly, that’s part of the charm.

Hey Surabaya siders, let me introduce you to one of my local comfort cafés: ROOM NO.3 ☕✨
Cafenya kecil dan sederhana di pinggir Jalan Manyar, but honestly it's one of my hidden gems buat ngafe sambil kerja di tengah panasnya Surabaya. Tempatnya cozy, nggak terlalu ramai kalau siang, jadi enak buat buka laptop, jawab email, atau sekadar r...
My go-to order is their iced Japanese Ethiopia. Ditemani secangkir kopi dingin yang fruity dan refreshing, fix bikin mata melek pas lagi kejar deadline 😌.
Kalau sore biasanya mulai ramai, so I personally prefer coming earlier for the quieter vibes. Mereka nggak punya makanan berat cumana ada donat dan semacam churros, jadi menurutku ini lebih cocok buat coffee stop, quick catch-up, atau work session si...
Definitely one of those spots I keep coming back to whenever I need good coffee and a peaceful corner in Surabaya 🤍
