Expat. Roasters has opened its newest outlet in Bandung, bringing its Bali-born coffee culture to one of Indonesia’s most creative cities. Known for its cool climate and lively café scene, this city offers the perfect setting for this next chapter in the brand’s journey.
This 10th outlet also introduces something new: Coffee Studio. This space is designed for people who want to learn more about coffee, join small events, or simply enjoy a more personal experience. It’s a place where farmers, baristas, and guests can meet and share stories. The team behind Expat. Roasters hopes this studio will help build stronger ties between those who grow the beans and those who drink them.
Shae Macnamara, the founder of Expat. Roasters shared that opening in Bandung feels personal. “Bandung was one of the first cities I visited outside of Bali, and it immediately struck me with its creative energy, vibrant culture, and inspiring architecture. From its cafes filled with artists and photographers to its blend of colonial charm and modern flair, Bandung felt like a place where ideas and artistry come alive. That same spirit of creativity and connection that shaped our beginnings in Bali is what we hope to bring to this new space in Bandung,” said Macnamara.
He added, “We’ve spent valuable time with farmers in the surrounding coffee-growing regions, building strong, lasting relationships with producers whose beans have become an integral part of our signature offerings. We’re excited to share these exceptional coffees with Bandung, bring a little taste of Bali’s energy, and hopefully become a meaningful part of your daily ritual.”
The café itself has a modern look, with thoughtful design that reflects Bandung’s mix of old and new. It was created by WHAstudio, working together with Sydney-based X plus O Design Studio. The result is a space that feels open and welcoming, with areas for quiet coffee moments and lively gatherings. The Coffee Studio sits at the heart of it all, offering a calm corner for deeper exploration.
Located on Jalan Gatot Subroto, the new store is open daily from morning until evening. Whether you’re a coffee lover or just curious, Expat. Roasters Bandung offers a fresh space to enjoy a cup, learn something new, and feel connected to the people behind the brew.
