- Serious Coffee
Before coffee drinks began to fill every corner of the city of Solo, since ancient times Solo has been known for its strong-scented tea drinks supplied from the slopes of Mount Lawu and Karanganyar. So, it was quite difficult for us to find a coffee shop that didn’t come from packaged coffee until finally a café called Ngopi Serious was created. This serious coffee shop provides coffee menus from various regions in Indonesia. There are at least about 40 types of coffee beans that are ready to be enjoyed by visitors. This Serious Ngopi Kedai gives a classic feel which is complemented by some charming Indonesian dance paintings.
- My Old Book Café
Around campus, there are usually many cafes suitable for students. A cafe with free wifi facilities and a comfortable place will be one of the most sought after. However, what about cafes that provide books for visitors to read? From each city there may be only a few or none. In Solo, there is a café that provides books for visitors to read, namely Café Bukuku Lawas. Here, you will be invited to choose the book you want to read. There are three high shelves and two medium shelves that contain books worth reading for you to choose from. The location of this cafe is very close to the ISI Surakarta campus. Reading a book while sipping coffee in the afternoon, of course, is a very fun activity.
