Share:

This week, Bali celebrates the launch of the largest coffee shop in Southeast Asia in the island’s coffee capital. Pahdi Speciality Coffee marked its debut this week in Kintamani, Bali’s coffee capital.

Southeast Asia’s centre for coffee culture is Bali. The competition to be the finest is fierce in this city, which is home to some of the continent’s trendiest and most inventive coffee shops and roasters. The big opening ceremony was held on the 23rd of August 2023, and was attended by several of the island’s most well-known coffee enthusiasts.

Pahdi Speciality Coffee is stunning both inside and out. With breathtaking views of Mount Batur, Lake Batur, Trunyan Hill, and Mount Abang, this will be THE spot to enjoy Bali’s greatest coffee culture for a long time to come.

Pahdi Speciality Coffee is now open for everyone’s enjoyment and is open everyday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. According to the Pahdi team, the cafe’s culture is based on the Balinese notion of Panca Maha Bhunta.

The idea is a guiding thought in Balinese Hinduism that represents the symbiotic and harmonious interplay between air, fire, water, earth, and liminal space. 

The founders of Asia’s biggest coffee shop Pahdi Speciality Coffee, Sang Made Dwiky Surya Nareswara and Sang Gede Agus Rico Pratama, say, “Pahdi Specialty Coffee is a culmination of dreams woven into reality, a space where every cup and dish resonates with the symphony of Kintamani’s nature.”

After earning degrees from Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, both Nareswara and Pratama are clearly fusing the sophisticated and upscale café vibes of Victoria with the creativity and craftsmanship of the Balinese culture.

The pair is dedicated to exhibiting and promoting Indonesia’s best coffee. Naturally, they would highlight Kintamani coffee, as it is cultivated within a few minutes of the cafe itself. Together, they will transport to Kintamani a wide variety of coffee beans from Indonesia.

They shared that Pahdi Specialty Coffee is opening with four house coffee roasts, two from Kintamani, and the other two will be on regular rotation to highlight the wide range of coffee grown around Indonesia.

They added, “In two weeks, we may use coffee beans from Mount Halu, West Java, or Mount Ijen, East Java in Pahdi Speciality Coffee. The point is that we really highlight 100 percent of Indonesian coffee beans.”
