Review (Based on multiple visits)
First went here from a friend's recommendation as he said that the coffee is really amazing and he buys it very frequently. So i came to see what's so good about this.
First thing i noticed is the entrance to the shop is very nice with white railings and hanging plants, which makes it very pleasing to walk through/look at/take a picture. This particular branch i think has a very nice exterior compared to other stores.
As i got inside, it was very crowded. Increasing my curiosity as to why people like Tuku very much. The interior is very modern and elegant looking.
As i wait in line, i noticed they are also selling Tuku Kopi merch like t-shirts and pins. Also, to go with yoir coffee, they sell light snacks like carrot cake, kue sus, etc
I finally ordered their famous Kopi Susu Tetangga (18k) with normal ice and sugar (yes you can customise them). Price is fairly standard and affordable.
They call your name and you can take your order after waiting a bit. When i finally tasted the coffee, i was very surprised at the taste, and i can finally see as to why people like it very much.
The coffee itself falls to the more stronger side, as the bitterness is very prominent, but the milk plays very well because it makes it creamy and refreshing. It's sweetness is balanced with the coffee taste very well.
People have said that it's more a to-go store but they have chairs and tables outside for people to relax and drink, also they provide drinks to consume right away that is served in glass and coffee cups.
Service was nice and fast with friendly staff and barista, one even recognised my friend as he is a regular. This is very important for a business to increase customer's satisfaction and comfort for the place, which they did well.
The only downside is that, after a few visit on different days, the coffee taste can sometimes differ. It can taste good one day and the next day it tastes worse. Less fresh, more acidic, more bitter, etc. Would be better to try and make it consistent everyday.
Nice place, good coffee, nice service, ok price. Definitely will try to drop by...
Read moreKopi Tuku BSD ⏳Tuesday to Sunday 06.00 - 21.00 wib ☕️🍩🥟 ; 🅿️🚻🚮
😀Pros: cozy, homies 🙁Cons: small place
”On April 14th, I stopped by Kopi Tuku BSD for a coffee. It was around 1:30 pm, and I had hoped I'd missed the lunch crowd. Fortunately, the line at the cashier was about 2 people when I walked up"
"The ambiance was chilled and everything is clean. Two cups of kopi susu (coffee milk) made from the special coffee blend and gula area (palm sugar) serve us. Plus some doughnuts for lunch at the corner of outdoor area”
"Overall, my experience with the Kopi Tuku BSD was positive. Listen to the song that completely blends in the ambiance of grinding machines, playful journey for your days. The staff and Barista was really good in service, definitely a place to go for coffee. I have no compaints about the restroom, although it's only one room for all customers. If anyone has any questions about Kopi Tuku BSD, leave a comment to my review and I'll get...
Read moreFinally I got to tasted this overhyped kopi susu in BSD, the exact location is in Taman Jajan BSD. Located in the upper stairs, the place is not really big and specialized for take away only. There are only some long bench to queue there. So, no 'nongkrong-nongkrong dulu' here. Its very crowded in the noon time, so, not really convenience. We ordered the famously 'es kopi susu tetangga' that turned out bad, its not our liking (I went there with my husband, and he didnt like it either). So, for people who said 'tuku is the best coffee in town', no, there are tons of better tasted-coffee out there guys, you need to get out from your...
