The Good Stuff
Quiet Workspace
The café is unusually quiet for working or studying, with a separate room available for quieter meetings.
Strong V60
One reviewer found the V60 balanced and flavourful, without the burnt or sour notes that can spoil a manual brew.
Coconut Drinks
ES Kopi is made with coffee blended with rich coconut milk, giving the menu a distinctly Indonesian direction.
Friendly Service
Several reviews describe the baristas as welcoming, including one who simply called the barista wonderful.
Parking Access
Although finding the location can be confusing, one review notes that parking is available directly in front.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check Tiramisu. If you are travelling for tiramisu, confirm that this branch has it first; one customer found it unavailable after a 30-minute drive.
Avoid Early Visits. For breakfast before work, consider another time of day: one reviewer had a poor service experience shortly after opening.
Allow Parking Time. Give yourself extra time to locate the car park, as the warehouse setting can make parking unclear.
Try V60. If you enjoy manual brewing, the V60 is a sensible first order; one review praised its clean, balanced flavour.
Check Lids. For takeaway hot drinks, check that the lid is properly secured before leaving, after one V60 spilled onto a customer's clothes.
Expect Weak WiFi. It is quiet for working, but bring a backup connection if reliable internet matters because one reviewer found the WiFi slow.

The Bottom Line
Nusantara Coffee Roasters is an Indonesian-focused coffee shop in Nad Al Hamar, located above a roastery in a warehouse-style setting. You can order manual-brew coffee such as a V60, try the coconut-milk ES Kopi, or buy Indonesian beans to brew at home. Reviews also mention eskurma, cold brew and brownies.
The main draw is the calm atmosphere. Customers describe it as unusually quiet for reading, studying or completing work, and there is a separate room for meetings when you need more privacy. The café sits on a mezzanine floor, with a rustic, simple interior rather than a polished street-front feel.
Finding the place and parking can take some patience. One reviewer found the car park difficult to locate, while another said parking was available directly in front. WiFi has also been described as slow, so it may not be ideal for internet-heavy work without a backup connection.
Coffee quality is generally praised, but preparation and service are not perfectly consistent. A flat white was reported as watery and scorching hot, and an early visitor left after receiving indifferent service. Check branch availability before making a special trip for items such as tiramisu, and check takeaway lids before driving away.
