A Productive Evening at Peacock Coffee Gajadmada


Peacock Coffee is probably one of the hippest coffee shops far before coffee shops in Semarang become popular. Located in Gajahmada, one of the most strategist locations in the city, Peacock Coffee has its own appeal—to be honest this coffee shop is quite unique. From the outside, this coffee shop doesn’t look quite spacious. However, your eyes can trick you. In fact, this two-story building can hold quite a lot of people in it. If you are a non-smoker, the first floor is for you. There is one large table which can be used as a shared table. Behind the stairs, the tables are made for 1 to 2 persons. The toilet is also located on the first floor. Meanwhile, the second floor is made for smoking.

The coffee here is nice. Unfortunately, they give the same price (IDR 33,000) for whatever coffee you choose (unless for a cup of espresso, you can get 1x refill). Peacock coffee also serves many kind of snacks/ appetizers: macaroni schotel, pies, and some cakes. In my opinion, Peacock Coffee always has the most appetizing appetizer shelf!




My favorite corner to get my task done is by the window. This is what makes Peacock Coffee different from other coffee shops: it has a super big window! So you can watch people come and go outside the coffee shop—you can also enjoy looking at the busy street from where you sit. For me, nothing beats the serenity drinking my favorite cup of coffee (or tea; yes, they also serve tea!) while looking outside. The best time to be here is around 3PM. I don’t recommend to come here at night, because it gets more crowded than in the morning or noon.



If you are looking for a coffee shop that has a big window in it and is located in the main street, you could try Peacock Coffee Gajahmada. The vibe going on in this coffee shop is really nice. Despite the 'okay' taste of coffee, the lychee tea here is quite good (plus you can get 2x refill). FYI, Peacock Coffee has another branch located in Gombel Lama.

Peacock Coffee has become one of my personal preferences for coffee shops in Semarang.
