Grind Now Coffee Bar | Specialty Coffee Batam in Riau Islands

"Grind Now Coffee Bar is the best slow Bar Coffee so far in Batam, the cafe location is near the main road so it’s easy to find, but you have to walk to inside the area to find the cafe it self. The cafe is far from hustle n bustle in the area so its nice place to hang out, especially at the slow bar. The barista is friendly n have a knowledge about coffee n stuff so it’s nice to have a chat, meet n have a chit chat with the owner also which is great. They tell a lot about the beans, menu n cafe history n how they managed If you’re introvert type don’t worry, just seat at the table away from the bar They have plenty type of beans so you have a lot of choices to order your coffee, the coffee bean for espresso it self is high in acid which is the way i like it, i order picollo split and it’s fire Also order the espresso tonic and it doesn’t fail either For the food try the kaya toast and it was delicious, buttery and rich in flavors. They told me the “kaya” originally from medan the only downside is that the location is a little bit hot, couse they don't have much air ventilation and fan The cafe also near Musholla and toilet"

"One of the best places to come to in Batam for specialty coffee. Owner Kris is passionate and knowledgeable and you will not be disappointed if you are looking for a good conversation about beans, processes, brewing methods etc. Grind Now sells coffee related accessories too. Recently they have started serving food on the menu, adding a lovely touch. A must-do in Batam for coffee enthusiasts!"

"Really personal touch to the coffee, cozy environment with love put into brewing. Kriss was really social and welcoming, and I would go back for more coffee without hesitation."

"I had time for one coffee this afternoon and I am exceptionally glad I had the chance to have it with Kris at Grind Now Coffee Bar. Had an extremely smooth and refreshing iced filter coffee from his limited edition competition beans - extremely balanced and palatable cup of coffee! What I loved most was his laid back vibe and how Kris was so passionate about his craft. Would have loved to stay to hear more of his stories and thoughts on the coffee scene in Batam and beyond! Thank you for the experience!"

"Chill & homely vibes at this coffee place in Batam. Nice and friendly baristas behind the counter. They have a variety of beans on rotation. If you’re not sure what you feel like drinking, (whether black white ice or hot) the baristas will do like an Omakase and do a drink according to your preference."

"Kris’ place is a must when visiting Batam! Amazing coffee paired with grounded conversations in a cozy and social environment :) Highlight of the trip for sure"

"Nice quaint place to chill and have coffee with an experienced barista! He has the the knowledge and interest for all things coffee. Will return to drink. Don't be shy to ask for off menu brews."
