What looks like a humble red brick café from the outside, is a serious specialty coffee house and cafe inside.

Think house-roasted beans from Sumatra, mixed with Australia’s avocado craze, and voila, you have one of Pison’s signatures: The Espresso Avocado. But it’s also the classics that Pison does best. Try the Affogato, the cappuccino, and the signature single origin Sumatra Bluebatak – slightly sweet and syrupy yet with a serious coffee kick. Oh, and if you get a chance between brews, chat with Pison’s friendly owner, Arlini Wibowo, who’ll happily share plenty of coffee insight and awesome stories to accompany your afternoon cuppa.
