01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

Kopi Bah Sipit Cap Kacamata stands as a truly iconic coffee shop nestled in the heart of Bogor, Indonesia, at Jl. Empang No.27. This is not just any coffee stop—it’s a living tribute to a rich local heritage, proudly carrying the legacy of Bogor’s coffee culture since 1925. Kopi Bah Sipit’s passion shines through every carefully roasted batch of arabica and robusta beans, meticulously prepared to offer a deeply authentic coffee experience.

The moment you step into this warm, vintage space, the atmosphere wraps you in an inviting embrace. The old-town charm combined with a breezy, homey vibe provides a perfect sanctuary to savor your brew away from Bogor’s busy streets. While the buzzing traffic and lively street sounds outside provide a lively backdrop, inside the coffee shop, there's a relaxed hum where coffee lovers can truly connect—with not only their cups but even with the friendly, approachable owner who often makes time to chat.

The menu is a delightful exploration of traditional and modern coffee methods. Whether you prefer the clarity and fruit-forward brightness of the V60 arabica, the smooth and comforting richness of Japanese drip, the bold body of French press, or the familiar local touch of tubruk and kopi susu gula aren, Kopi Bah Sipit delivers each cup with expert care and vibrant flavor. One customer raves about the “refreshing and perfectly fruity” notes of the V60, epitomizing the brand’s commitment to quality and taste.

While the coffee unquestionably takes center stage, it’s worth noting that food options are modest, designed to complement rather than overshadow your drink. Parking may pose a challenge during busy hours, making public transport a savvy choice, but customers attest that the experience is absolutely worth the little inconvenience.

One of the most touching features of Kopi Bah Sipit is their free coffee stall, which generously offers a warm cup to anyone passing by. This reflects a remarkable dedication to community and coffee culture—not just serving a beverage but sharing a moment, a smile, and a piece of Bogor’s soul.

For anyone seeking to immerse themselves in an authentic, storied coffee tradition with a modern twist, Kopi Bah Sipit Cap Kacamata isn’t just a destination—it’s a heartfelt experience, a taste of local pride, and a slow, rewarding pause in the rhythm of everyday life.

I'm a happy customer. The coffee is awesome, seevice is fast and reliable, ambience is relaxing and met the chance to talk with the owner. Bah Sipit is a legend coffee brand from Bogor since 1925. They source arabica/robusta green beans, roast by themselves, and present it customers. I like the fact that they have a free coffee stall for everyone that passes by so everyone can drink coffee. I would definitely come back and recommend to everyone!

Car parking can be a bit of a problem. But its worth it. (Might just hail a cab for my next visit) Not much food option but all is a good to go with your cup of coffee. Its very noisy (due to traffic), dusty street. But i prefer the noise of horn clanking rather than the overwhelming loud chatter backsound.

Various types of coffee bean. We can choose either V60, Japanese drip, French Press, Tubruk or Kopi susu gula aren, etc. It has an old town ambience. Some tips: It's convenient to use public transport due to limited car park.

Kopi Bah Sipit (Cap Kacamata) is the perfect mix of classic heritage and modern coffee. The atmosphere is incredibly homey, cool, and breezy. A great spot to escape the heat. • The Coffee: Tried the V60 Arabica and it was so refreshing! Perfectly fruity but still has that bold coffee character. • The Vibe: Love the vintage atmosphere and the trendy menu options. • Don't Forget: Grab their coffee sachets for oleh-oleh (souvenirs) before you leave! Note: Parking is quite limited Highly recommended for a chill coffee break!

A small and simple coffee shop with a long history. Located around 100 meters from BTM, although it's on the side of the road, the place is not too conspicuous, making it not easily noticeable. There are only 3 tables here. Besides selling coffee for almost 100 years, they only have snacks, which are buns with chicken, meat, and salted egg flavors. The atmosphere is vintage and laid-back. Suitable for introverts who want to hang out in a coffee shop with few visitors. You can also buy coffee powder as a souvenir.

A legendary coffee shop in Bogor. They provide a wide range beans from Indonesia because they want to promote Indonesian coffee beans. A good place to hang out if you visit Bogor. Staffs are very helpful.
