Ngopi UK
56 Dale End, Birmingham B4 7LS (Birmingham)
“Ngopi (ng-ow-pee) is the first and only Independent Coffee Shop with Indonesian vibes in Birmingham, England, UK. The brand “Ngopi” itself represents the act of drinking coffee. Our tagline is “Let’s Ngopi!”, it is the Indonesian way to say let’s have coffee. We are staying true to our root by bringing the vibrant and ever-growing Indonesian Coffee Culture and its products to England.”

Ngopi UK is a small independent coffee shop founded by a group of Indonesian students. Similar to Pino’s Warung, one of their main selling points is the Indonesian culture itself. For example, the greetings would be done in Bahasa Indonesia. This creates a familial bond that Indonesians can relate to. In terms of the café itself, its mainly a minimalist and modern design. The decorations are that of contemporary Indonesian iconography, further cementing the Indonesian culture. Indonesian pop songs can often be heard when dining, creating a very welcoming environment for Indonesians. Compared to Pino’s Warung, Ngopi UK is smaller in scale in terms of production as they don’t serve quite as many heavy meals, and opted for lighter meals such as street food and pastries.
