"This Lombard Street shop was the filmmaker’s first documentary subject; she sought out the owner, Adhi, who comes across as a vibrant, thoughtful character and exemplifies the neighborhood pillars she looks for. The film lets the proprietor tell his story and craft while the filmmaker remains behind the camera; reflecting on the project’s purpose she says, 'I figured it’d be awesome to find some way to support them, be creative, and get back in touch with the camera,' and adds that 'I’m just enjoying it for now.'" - Paolo Bicchieri
"Kopiku Coffee is the only Indonesian coffee shop in SF, and Marina dwellers are lucky to have it. Swing by before heading on a walk in Fort Mason, or whenever you need a non-boring caffeine boost. Their drinks are all fantastic, but our favorite is the pandan latte. It’s just the right amount of sweet without overpowering the actual espresso, and like everything on the menu, is made with lactose-free milk. They also have great snacks, like pineapple tarts and sticky rice balls stuffed with chicken." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
"Kopiku is the only coffee shop in SF specializing in Indonesian coffee. The drinks at this casual Marina cafe range from regular espresso drinks to just-sweet-enough pandan lattes (all made with lactose-free milk). Also on hand are pastries and savory snacks, like pineapple tarts or a sticky rice ball with chicken. It makes for great pre-walk caffeine on your way to wander around Fort Mason, or if you need some quick sustenance before showing visitors around Fisherman’s Wharf." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"The 2024 World Barista Champion, Mikael Jasin — the first Indonesian national to win that title — is partnering with the Indonesian Consulate General in San Francisco, a Lombard Street coffee shop, Oakland's Royal Coffee, and the Specialty Coffee Association of Indonesia for a Bay Area tour. Per an Instagram post, fans in San Francisco can meet Jasin from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Wednesday, April 23 at the Lombard Street location." - Paolo Bicchieri
"This isn’t a map on where to drink coffee. Kopiku has those options in spades; It’s the first cafe outpost for roaster Beaneka Coffee. Iced pandan coffee here is a treat. This Lombard Street’s food offerings are worth a visit all on their own. Pineapple shortbread, gluten-free cassava cookies, and the banana-leaf wrapped Indonesian staple arem-arem all await those smart enough to drop by." - Paolo Bicchieri
