They are doing good financially. I hope they become bigger but not overpricing like starbucks.

If you come to Indonesia, you would know that there are of better ones than Kenangan. Especially the local ones who can source high quality beans from plantations in Indonesia it's such a fine coffee drinking experience

I went to Singapore last July and i saw queuing was quiet long at Kopi Kenangan. Is it only because of the cheap price ? I personally prefer Kopi Kenangan than any other coffee shop.

[kimdongdot]

I can say this kopi kenangan is better than *bucks..better in flavor n much more affordable..

[AhmadAshrinAbdulJalil]

After boycotting Nescafe, I drink Indo Cafe... Good tasting instant coffee

[EpicVice]

lebih suka point coffee daripada kenangan, siapa disini yang sama?

[rabinraj]

Terbaik Indonesia!! 💪🏽 Jom buka di Sabah!

[marktrinidad]

I would rather buy from Kopi instead of overpriced Starbucks.

[paijo]

indonesian brands; kenangan, tuku, fore on 🔥

[jeek]

Nah, never a fans of overpriced coffee always support the local uncle aunty coffee... cheaper and relatable

[jazzcoustic]

Its better tastes and price than starbuck... lol

[irabakri]

Kenangan itu kopi standar yg enak buat ukuran harga 18-19rb (USD 1, 25). kalau mau lebih enak banyak, tapi ya ga selalu ada dimana2. Kopi kenangan itu ibarat kata indomie-nya gerai kopi.

Try Kenagan, similar to our own Malaysia Zus coffee but higher price. Still prefer Zus with more affordable prices.

[BadasHype]

Nope. Have tried coffee latte at Kenangan once, several times at Dunkin from Massachusetts, Illy from Hungary but my taste is always at "Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf" from California and Zuss Coffee original Malaysia. I would like to try the Coffe latte at Tim Hortons from Canada.

Enak sih, janji jiwa juga enak. Dari pada Starbucks yg mahal, mending kopi kenangan atw janji jiwa. J.co juga enak! ❤️❤️❤️

[fajarcahyono]

If you are care about both price & quality, Kopi Kenangan is much better than Starbucks. If the sellers offer better price and quality, I will choose it and I don't care if it's local or foreign

[FeriFerdinan-io]

"Kenangan" in english mean "Memory"

[rimaskautsar]

Kopi Kenangan is one of my favourite coffee

[paijo]

lets buy local brand coffee, the taste n price better then bucks!! kenangan is one of it

[klmtech]

Kopi Kenangan stores don't look as crowded as when they just started. Many new competition now for cheaper coffee like Tomoro coffee, Fore coffee and Janji jiwa. It's a good Coffee brand but revenue numbers seems inflated...
