3. Armor Coffee Cafe

Being an artistic town, there are no shortage of quaint and creative cafes around town.
So it only makes sense if you take a morning off to visit some of them. One prominent cafe to visit is the Armor Coffee Cafe, built in wood and comes with an outdoor alfresco area overlooking a field in a forest, it gives a whole new experience for the usual city cafe hoppers.





Apart from serving good selections of coffees and teas (self-service), you get to order local delights such as "Pisang Goreng" (banana fritters with cheese) and "Cireng" (deep fried savoury glutinous rice paste with spicy sauce); both dishes surprisingly delicious.

4. Saunt Angklung Udjo 

Set up in 1966 by the late Udjod Ngalagena and his wife, Uum Sumiati, the art studio was a place for art performance and laboratory for art education, and also a foundation to preserve sundanese art and culture, especially Angklung - a traditional musical instrument made of bamboo that produces a single musical note.

The daily performance starts from 3:30pm - 5pm, consisting of Wayang Golek (wooden puppets), mask dance and interactive angklung performance where the audience get to be part of a musical production (my favourite part of the show). It ended on a high note with an impressive Angklung Orchestra orchestrated by the son of the founder who performed a wonderful semi-jazz piece using these Angklung instrument. This performance alone was worth the entrance fee.

5. Rumah Mode Factory Outlet 

I know I said this post will be a list of things to do aside from shopping, but do you really think I am not going to include at least one factory outlet into this list? Well I am. So there you go.


A factory outlet selling all kinds of fashion wear from bags to shoes to clothes. You won't get branded but you will find something at a cheap price. I got a Mickey Mouse top for my beach wear at IDR150,000.

Easily spend a good 2 hours here before you head back home or onto your shopping spree in the rest of Bandung. Don't forget to head onto the streets to scour some good local designer boutiques that scattered the city. This place will dress you up like a modern hipster in no time.
