Tak Kie Coffee Stall was located in an aisle known as Gloria in the corner of Glodok, West Jakarta. Now the aisle turns into a street named Pintu Besar Selatan III Street. The stall is still there with dozens other Chinese food kiosks.

Classic nuance welcomes every visitor entering the Tak Kie Coffee Stall. The interior hints its old age. Most of the visitors are also senior citizens.

A glass of iced coffee is the prima donna in this stall. Fresh and sweet, that is the sensation. “The taste remains the same since 1927. If this chair could talk, it would tell us a story,” Latif Yunus (62 years), the owner of the stall, said.

As the third generation, Yunus or knows as A Yauw, maintains the original taste passed by his grandfather. “The taste is irreplaceable. Even with a glass of thousands IDR coffee,” he explained.
