Why Locals Love TOMORO COFFEE - UPN Veteran
TOMORO COFFEE - UPN Veteran is a vibrant coffee shop nestled right across from Universitas Pembangunan Nasional (UPN) in Surabaya’s cozy Medokan Ayu neighborhood. This spot has quickly become a favorite hangout for students seeking a lively yet friendly environment to sip exceptional coffee while tackling assignments or catching up with friends.
The true star here is definitely the coffee. As shared by a satisfied customer, "TOMORO has the best taste of Coffee! Their coffee is the beast!" This praise resonates through the energetic crowd of mostly university students who appreciate the rich, bold flavors that only a well-crafted brew can deliver. Although the menu specifics aren’t detailed, it’s clear the coffee craftsmanship takes center stage, satisfying even the most discerning caffeine lovers.
The atmosphere at TOMORO COFFEE strikes a unique balance between bustling and cozy. From a casual conversation vibe downstairs to a student-driven workspace upstairs, you’ll find a welcoming energy. However, it’s worth noting from reviews that the air conditioning on the second floor occasionally struggles to keep up with Surabaya’s tropical heat, which might make longer stays a bit challenging during peak weather days. Despite this, the space remains clean, with plenty of Wi-Fi and electric sockets at each table—ideal for those who want to work remotely or stay connected.
One of the café’s most appealing aspects is its unbeatable location. Being just a stone’s throw from UPN, it naturally draws a crowd eager for a quick coffee break or an evening hangout spot. This proximity fosters a friendly, youthful ambiance where creativity and camaraderie flourish.
From a practical perspective, a small tip for visitors: service can sometimes be a little slow, as one server handles both cashier and barista duties during busy hours. But this only adds a sense of charm and understanding to the experience—patience here is rewarded with genuine hospitality and a cup of coffee that’s truly worth the wait.
In essence, TOMORO COFFEE offers more than just a caffeine fix. It’s a dynamic community space where coffee lovers can immerse themselves in Surabaya’s spirited student life, experience expertly brewed drinks, and enjoy a cozy yet lively atmosphere. Whether you’re powering through an intense study session or simply craving a great cup of coffee, TOMORO promises a warm welcome and a memorable taste of local coffee culture.

Terletak di seberang kampus UPN, sehingga pengunjung di sini ya kebanyakan mahasiswa sambil ngerjakan tugas. Tapi masih kondusif kok. Cuma yaaa AC di lantai dua panas. Mana cuaca di luar juga lagi panas-panasnya.

The drink is quite good. For the service, there was just one server did the cashier as well as the barista, and it affect the order time. Work from anywhere friendly, there is wifi and electric sockets in each table. Although, not recommended if you search for somewhere to be focus on your own work (its pretty crowded and narrow). The air conditioner in second floor was broken (at least when i was there). Overall, it's still do its job well, but there are a lot rooms for improvement.
