Kopitiam yang berlokasi di daerah pecinan Surabaya, jalan Jagalan. Mengusung nuansa kuno khas Surabaya, nuansanya warna warni dengan warna yang bertabrakan.

This traditional Cafe is located in the old Chinese district in Surabaya, Jagalan street.
In case you're wondering what's a Kopitiam, here's a line from Wikipedia :

Kopitiams (kedai kopi) in Riau Islands, Indonesia are very similar to those in Singapore or Malaysia. Originally run by local Chinese people, they can be found in many residential areas. An old-fashioned kopitiams are usually located at shop houses, and often have a quite run-down appearance. There are a lot of food choices, such as wanton mee, char siew bao, bee hoon, laksa, char kway teow, bak kut teh, teochew porridge, chicken rice, and even Indian-Malay food like roti prata and nasi lemak may be available. More modern kopitiams have more recently emerged, and can be found in many shopping malls.

Dari bagian depan (outdoor), bisa dilihat dekorasi tempo doeloe nya. Sedikit terlalu meriah dan warnanya aneh, walau tetap menarik dan eye catching. Lokasi indoornya lebih besar dan terdapat AC, sedangkan lokasi di luar lebih kecil dan diperbolehkan merokok.

Right from the start you can see a lot of traditional knick knacks on display. The seating, tables and tiles are also vintage looking. Though could feel a bit tacky, it has a festive feel to it.
They have indoor and outdoor locations, the indoor dining area have air conditioning, while the outdoor area is smaller and smokers friendly.

Rumy Cappucino - Rp 12.500

Penampilan minuman yang satu ini memang menarik tapi untuk urusan rasa biasa saja.

This drink is quite good looking, but nothing special tastewise. Just like regular ice coffee.

Es Kopi Tarik - Rp 12.000

Es Kopi Tariknya lumayan, terutama karena harganya tidak terlalu mahal dan mendapat porsi cukup besar.

Their Kopi Tarik is quite nice, with very low price and generous portion.
