Outdoor Cafe Magelang: Calm Coffee in Fresh Nature

Yesterday I visited Bukit Rhema Borobudur. After walking in the hill area, I stopped by Kedai Bukit Rhema to exchange cassava and buy Love Coffee. We sat in the outside area, sipping coffee while enjoying the fresh air and cool views of Menoreh. It feels like the little break we need in the middle of a busy day—calm, warm, and simple.

Magelang is unique because it combines green nature, hilly landscapes and an unhurried rhythm of life. The outdoor cafe Magelang becomes a “breathing space”—a place for us to rest our minds without having to go far. At Kedai Bukit Rhema, the experience feels complete: a shady atmosphere, friendly wooden benches, a gentle breeze, and the Menoreh horizon that makes you want to stop for a moment and be grateful.

On yesterday’s visit, I exchanged cassava before ordering Kopi Cinta. This simple moment brings a feeling of “coming home”—like being served a favorite snack at home. You may not always find the same promotions or programs, but small experiences like this make your visit feel more personal and warm.

Kedai Bukit Rhema set up playgrounds as a children’s exploration space. The game is simple but fun, perfect for letting off steam after a trip to Borobudur. I like sitting at a table near the playground: You can enjoy Love Coffee while watching children laugh, and occasionally taking photos in the photogenic wooden corner.

Shared ethics: take turns and keep things tidy after playing.

Ideal age: toddler–early elementary school, with assistance.

Area conditions: relatively flat surface; use comfortable footwear.
