Visiting Manik Brother’s Coffee was a truly heartwarming experience. They welcomed us with so much love and kindness, and took the time to show us how they produce their coffee — with incredible care and passion. You can really feel the love they put into every step. It’s a beautiful, peaceful place where you can slow down, take in the atmosphere, and truly enjoy the moment. We tasted some amazing coffee and, of course, brought some home with us to keep the flavor — and the memories — alive. Highly recommended for anyone who loves good coffee and genuine people.

Let’s be honest, you won’t find a better place than this to have your cup. Coffee is locally produced, roasted and grinded and the owner takes pride in showing you the full production process. Honey process is great and the view of lake Toba even better. If you like great coffee with a view you should definitely visit!

WOW! This place is a hidden gem that everyone should try once. The owner does EVERYTHING - he has a coffee plantation, he picks, roasts and brews an amazing coffee. I tried honey coffee and it was beautiful, truly specially coffee standards. The place itself is super unique, right at the beach, a bit hard to find but that's part of the charm. I cannot recommend this café enough!

This was our best coffee and favourite coffee shop across Sumatra. We had a great chat with the owner whilst he prepared our coffee, he is very knowledgeable about all aspects of the coffee making process which was interesting to learn about. This resulted in two delicious, well prepared coffees from local beans. The setting is also beautiful right next to the lake. Please note it is not easy to find as there is no sign, down a narrow/bumpy country lane off the main road. Definitely worth the effort to visit whilst on Samosir.

Excellent coffeeshop with a small and clean beach at the front. Sariaman is a very experienced and kind coffee conosseur! He showed us the different roasting processes and brewed a wonderfully complex V-60 for us! It is noce to see that coffee is grown, processed and consumed on the island, so it can be enjoyed both by locals and visitors. The result are fresh and aromatic beans, which are a super souvenir to take home ! Thank you, we will enjoy the beans
