01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

Avour Coffee is a standout coffee shop nestled in the vibrant area of Grand City, Balikpapan. This cozy café has quickly become a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements its excellent beverage offerings. Whether you’re looking to kickstart your morning or unwind after a busy day, Avour Coffee provides a serene escape ideal for work, study, or casual meetups.

One of the most remarkable qualities of Avour Coffee is its dedication to crafting an exceptional coffee experience. Though the menu details are not explicitly listed, customers widely praise the coffee variants for their rich, balanced flavors and quality execution. Regular visitor handiko CT highlights the outstanding nature of their coffee menu, making it an ideal sanctuary for those working from anywhere (WFA) who need reliable, energizing brews to power their productivity. Naila echoes these sentiments, praising not only the coffee for being enjoyable without triggering sensitivities but also the delicious cakes that elevate the café’s menu beyond just drinks.

The café boasts a comfortable and thoughtfully designed space. With air conditioning that keeps the environment refreshingly cool—a welcome respite in tropical Kalimantan—Avour Coffee ensures patrons are comfortable throughout their visit. The seating options include a lovely balcony overlooking gentle fields of grass, offering a unique view that invites guests to linger longer, savoring every sip in an almost meditative setting. For guests who smoke, a dedicated smoking room on the second floor maintains the venue’s inclusive, respectful vibe.

Service here is a highlight: customers consistently commend the friendly, attentive staff who create a warm ambiance that feels like a second home. Vika Insanittaqwa aptly describes the team as “super ramah” (super friendly), with the added convenience of table ordering enhancing the overall dining experience. Sap’s TV also admires the staff’s kindness and suggests that the place is a “must-visit” for anyone craving not just good coffee but also great company and surroundings.

While the food has garnered mixed reviews, with some feeling the dishes lean towards the simple side, it is worth noting that the flavors align closely with authentic Indonesian tastes. Belle Ozzy mentions a desire for spicier rice options, reflecting a thoughtful input that Avour Coffee might consider expanding to satisfy varying palates. A request for extra chili once delivered raw chillies shows the café’s open approach to customer preferences, even if delivery wasn’t quite as expected.

In short, Avour Coffee is more than just a place to grab a coffee—it’s a community hub for relaxation, creativity, and genuine hospitality. Its blend of excellent coffee, cozy atmosphere, and accommodating staff makes it an essential stop for anyone in Balikpapan seeking a quality café experience with a local touch.

Contact Avour Coffee at +62 858-4990-1592 or visit them at Ruko Golden Boulevard, Jalan Sinarmas Boulevard No.AC-40, Batu Ampar, Kota Balikpapan, Kalimantan Timur for a comforting coffee journey that feels like home.

Salah satu cafe yg nyaman dan pelayanan nya ramah sekali.. Sayang makanan nya terlalu biasa saja di lidah saya, kembali ke selera masing2 ya, kalo coffee nya saya belum coba, tapi kata orang2 enak2 variant coffe nya. Satu lagi, pada dasar nya varian nasi nya mmg tdk pedas, saran saya harusnya ada varian yg pedas juga agar cust bisa memilih, dan bbrpa wktu lalu saya minta cabe potong, yg datang malah cabe utuh se tangkai2 nya dan di kenakan biaya tambahan utk cabe ny, sungguh di sayang kan. Next mau coba coffee nya

Cozy. Staff super ramah. Bisa pesan di meja. Di lantai 2 ada smoking room, ada juga balcony ke belakang tapi duduknya stool gitu, cocok buat yang ingin nongki sambil ngelihatin padang ilalang di belakang ruko. Kopi OK. Harga agak pricey. Recommended.

- nasi goreng avour rasanya enakk. asin pedes sedep, ada ayam goreng sm udangnya jugaa. bisa request telor mateng atau stgh mateng. dapet sambel juga tapi dikitttt (sambelnya enak). tekstur nasinya ga keras tapi jg ga kelembekan - minuman sour berry : sejenis smoothies tapi lebih encer dikit. ga terlalu manis. ada selai stroberinya jg. - croissant nya udah ngga crunchy, tapi isiannya enak ada krim keju sama selai stroberi. overall menunya enak2 sih. pelayanan oke bangettt, tempatnya nyaman, ada area outdoor sm indoor. tadi waktu bayar ditanyain apakah ada masukan buat makanan minumannya. trs aku bilang enak2 kok, cuma croissant nya tadi lembek ngga crunchy kyk croissant yg seharusnya (ini cuma review jujur tanpa ada niat komplain sama sekaliii). nah kok ternyata aku dikasih free croissant sebagai kompensasi huhuuu baik bgttt 100000/100. semoga next ada perbaikan di adonan croissantnya biar makin mantapppp

Cafe 2 lantai di grand city, ada bangku tambahan di parkiran karena emang seramai itu pengunjungnya dan untuk yg merokok juga. Karena ramai jd acnya kurang berasa. Untuk pelayanannya sangat ramah dan kids friendly yak, ada baby chair juga dan ga terlalu lama menunggu minuman dan makanan walo ramai karena baristanya gercep pas buat minuman. Untuk suasana karena masih baru jd full ramai pengunjung, musik juga tidak terlalu keras jadi kita bisa ngobrol dengan santai.

I highly recommend this coffee shop! The drinks are delicious, and their cheesecake is truly exceptional. The main dishes are good, though a bit pricey; however, the quality matches the service, which is top-notch. This place is very clean, and the restrooms are spotless. It has two floors with both indoor and outdoor seating. You can order at the front counter or sit down and have your order taken. It's often quite busy, so I suggest making a reservation if you're coming with a group.
