Car Free Day for Coffee Friends

Car-free day is a concept promoted by the regional government as an effort to stimulate the creative economy of the young generation with an entrepreneurial spirit, especially various drinks with the aroma of coffee mixed with various flavors.

Lhokseumawe is one of the small cities on the island of Sumatra that is currently actively implementing the creative economy concept. Of course, the cultural aspects of the community as coffee enthusiasts have an impact on the essential elements of this activity. This opportunity is also taken advantage of by young people in this city with various creativity and certain themes to attract customers, one of the themes is the following:

친구 (Chingu; Korean language), it means Friend of Coffee. The choice of this theme is an invitation to build friendship between coffee lovers, and they use the coffee table as a means of uniting perceptions of similar hobbies. Not surprisingly, their business is very popular with all groups—men, women, and even a place to relax with family.

Another creative idea is to convert an old van into a small shop that is designed in such a way. This idea is indeed mushrooming here, which is dominated by young people as business owners.

It's time for them to mix their specialty drinks according to the orders of loyal "Friends of Coffee" customers. The first step is making a tea beverage that is combined with milk and several additional components. "Thai tea" is the term used to describe this kind of beverage.

Then proceed with concocting espresso coffee as the superior drink and the best-selling drink here. As was stated in the outset, coffee is a part of the local culture, and I think we can all agree that practically everyone in the world enjoys it.

The story in this post is the outcome of a brief conversation with the coffee business owner shown in the above photo.

Thanks for taking the time. This pictures taken with Canon EOS 6D camera + 50mm Lens.
