We ask for your name
Not to scribble it on a paper cup. But because we would like to get to know you. The best thing that happens to us is somebody walking back in. Building a relationship with our customers.
The name
Where the name comes from
Mamasa is a region in the highlands of Sulawesi. It's also the name we gave this place, because it stands for the things we grew up with: welcoming, warmth, community and being who you are without explaining yourself.
We're two founders with a shared Indonesian-Dutch background, and this is the coffee bar we always wanted to walk into. Great quality coffee, real Indonesian flavours, and a room that feels lived in rather than styled.
No industrial concrete, no glamour. Natural materials, handmade details, warm tones — the kind of coffee bar you find in Jakarta, Bandung or Bali, where coffee is a social ritual rather than a transaction.
We want to be the living room of the neighbourhood. Everyone is welcome here, whatever brings you in.
More than a coffee bar. A place where people meet, feel at home, and share what they're up to.
