Welcome to Lawaka Coffee, a hidden gem nestled along the serene shores of Ampana in Sulawesi Tengah. As you step into this inviting café, you are instantly enveloped by the tantalizing aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the gentle sounds of waves lapping against the shore. Lawaka Coffee isn’t just a place to grab a drink; it's an experience that invites you to relax and take in the beauty around you.

The café boasts a unique semi-outdoor seating arrangement, perfect for those who love to be surrounded by nature while savoring their favorite beverage. With two distinct areas—one that offers breathtaking views directly facing the ocean and another that provides a more sheltered experience—you can choose your ambiance according to your mood. Imagine sipping on a rich, custom-crafted coffee just as the sun begins to set, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink—it's a moment not to be missed.

Lawaka Coffee also prides itself on offering a delightful menu that appeals to a diverse range of palates. Be sure to try the Chicken Black Pepper, praised for its deliciously bold flavors, and the generous portions of French Fries that pair perfectly with any drink. If you have a sweet tooth, the Chocolate Banana drizzled with sweet condensed milk and a sprinkle of sugar is a must-try, adding a delightful end to your meal.

Customers rave about the café's atmosphere and the friendly service. M Syahid Sundana declares it to be "one of the best coffee places in Ampana," emphasizing how the skilled baristas can tailor drinks to your desired sweetness. Patrons have also shared their appreciation for the café's cleanliness and comfort, making it an ideal spot for families and groups alike. Mahfudhoh Ulin Nuha highlights the availability of a mushola (prayer room), reflecting the café's attention to community needs.

While customer service shines at Lawaka Coffee, some guests have noted that food and drink preparation times can be a tad lengthy—averaging 30 to 45 minutes. However, the stunning views and fulfilling atmosphere more than make up for the wait, inviting you to soak in the experience rather than rush through it. Ishak Dj beautifully encapsulates this feeling, describing the café as "amazing for refresh," and praising its romantic vibe—perfect for gatherings or intimate evenings with loved ones.

Whether you're a local or just passing through Ampana, Lawaka Coffee is a must-visit destination for coffee enthusiasts and food lovers. Come for the delicious offerings, stay for the stunning sunset, and leave with memories that linger long after your visit. Don’t forget to visit between 4 PM to 7 PM for the best sunset experience!

One of the best coffee place in Ampana. You can ask the barista to customize your coffee. Especially for the sweetness. Best time to visit and enjoy sunset : 4 pm till 7 pm.

Jujur menurut saya makanannya sangat enak! Apalagi chicken blackpapernya! Disini juga terdapat beberapa metode pembayaran seperti cash atau qris. Pelayanannya juga sangat ramah. Cuma sangat disayangkan untuk serving time makanan dan minuman cukup lama sekitar 30 menit - 45 menit. Yang sangat saya sukai juga suasana cafe ini, terdapat 2 bagian cafe, yaitu yg berhadapan langsung dengan laut dan didekat hotelnya. Jadi untuk luas, cafe ini cukup luas dan banyak sekali tempat duduk baik outdoor maupun semi outdoornya. Selain itu nilai + buat cafe ini memiliki colokan disetiap bagian tempat duduknya (bahkan di bagian cafe yg dekat laut). Cuma sangat disayangkan cafe ini hanya buka dari jam 3 sore - 11 malam saja. Mungkin kalo buka dari jam 11 siang bisa jadi pilihan work from cafe yg recommended! Cafe ini juga terintegrasi dengan lawaka hotel. Jadi kalo kalian menginap di lawaka hotel, bisa pesan makanan dan minta tolong diantarkan ke kamar. P.s. Menurut saya harga makanannya juga masih terjangkau!

Rekomendasi cafe tepi laut di Ampana. Tempat cukup nyaman dan luas, dengan konsep semi outdoor, meski agak panas, mengikuti cuaca tapi nyaman dan bersih tempatnya. Menyediakan mushola juga. Untuk makanan dan kopinya cukup enak, standar cafee, dengan harga kisaran 25-30k. Kentang gorengnya dengan porsi cukup banyak juga, untuk pisang coklat-kejunya, menggunakan susu kental manis dan ditaburi gula (?) dan keju.
