Kopiku Indonesian Coffee — Restaurant in San Francisco

Delicious, unique coffee menu and very friendly staff. I was helped immediately and my drink was made quickly. The owner should be proud of staff who were very polite and served me with a smile.

The café is small, but clean and with small individual tables to work at. There were several people working on their laptops and a good vibe overall, with the staff friendlily chatting with a customer. There is also a restroom in the back.

At first I thought the drinks seemed expensive, but I realized that they are priced reasonably for not only the high-quality ingredients and taste, but also the amount of drink you get. It actually took me a while to finish my iced kopi pandan, I don’t know how large it actually was, but I would estimate 16-18 oz? I feel like other cafés have charged me similar prices for 10-12 oz.

FYI, you can also choose between single or double shot espresso when ordering, which is another plus for me.

They also sell bagged coffee, blends with mostly acidic/fruity notes. Decently priced in the $20s range.

I was impressed by their thoughtful selection of menu and I am pleased to see more Indonesian culture present in SF, these are unique items that I have not seen elsewhere before. This café is an excellent addition to the SF coffee culture and if they do not have multiple locations already, I hope that they can open more when the time is...

From the moment I arrived, I felt as if I were transported to Indonesia. I was greeted warmly by the 2 friendly staff members who directed my attention to the decorative menu on the left wall. Of course, I had to try the kopi pandan, and it was ready within minutes. I ordered it with 1 shot of espresso, oat milk, and less ice, and it was super creamy but not too sweet. I thought it was well-balanced, but I would consider getting the full 2 shots of espresso next time for a more robust coffee flavour. The barista was so sweet and asked me if I spell my name with a C or K. I could tell that they really cared about each customer's experience.

I decided to drink my coffee at the shop and ended up meeting the guy who roasts the coffee beans. I inquired about coming early on a weekend to watch them roast coffee beans, which I found out about on Instagram before my visit. The coffee roaster gave me their contact information and invited me back to roast some coffee beans myself. I am so happy to have found this newly opened gem in SF, and I cannot wait to return for more coffee and maybe even...

Kopiku is my new favorite hidden gem, a place to bring people when you say that you “know a spot”. This is THE spot. They have some indoor seating but it gets pretty busy in the mornings. Before even talking about the delicious drinks, I want to mention the staff. They are very friendly and helpful, and get to know you. The owner is so kind and knows everyone, making it feel like a personal experience. My friend goes weekly, and he is very close with her. He even read our palms and gave us advice. It makes the experience of going to a coffee shop more personal.

Now, onto the delicious drinks and food. They’re pretty fast at making drinks, and their pandan drinks are delicious. I got an iced matcha pandan and it was the perfect levels of sweetness. I have never seen these unique flavor combos, so I would love to come back and try more! They’re delicious and well crafted! The kaya toast is also delicious, quite buttery and coconutty. Everything is made with skill and love!

Overall, I cannot give enough praises to Kopiku. I will definitely come and I will be bringing my friend...
