Warung Kopi Solong

Banda Aceh


Banda Aceh’s most famous coffee house has been doing business since 1974. It’s an excellent place to try kopi sanger (coffee with condensed milk) – strained through a sock! Mie aceh (Acehnese noodles) and other dishes and snacks are also available. It's 2.5km east of the centre.

You can buy 250g and 500g bags of finely ground, locally grown arabica coffee.
