Armor Kopi

Bandung


A good reason to hit the hills is this outdoor cafe set among pine plantations and pastoral outlooks. There's an excellent choice of Indonesian coffees, created via a multitude of techniques; our favourite is the Acehenese tubruk (unfiltered coffee). It also does wood-fired pizzas. It's 10km from town in Ciburial, an arty enclave of galleries and cafes.

You'll need to take a taxi or ojek to get here.
