Let me just start by saying, if you are looking for Starbucks-experience like, then probably this place is not for you. But that exactly the reason why this place is the real gem. Firstly, they roast and sell coffee from local farmers, which by the way, we all know that Toraja coffees are among the best in the world. Their Pulu-pulu is a must try. The shop is probably a family-run and owned. You can get a cup of coffee (as pictured) with accompanied Toraja snack (not sure the name of the snack, crunchy with some palm sugar. Taste very nice and goes very well with coffee) at a very decent price. The staff are very helpful, and very knowledable about their coffees, so feel free to ask anything. The shop can get very crowded with people buying coffees to take home, though. In any case, I think the Kaa Coffee Shop, with its coffee and its staff, leaves such an impression on me that it would be impossible not to revisit them whenever I get to travel to Toraja again.

The best coffee in Toraja. Not only you will get the best coffee, but also if you lucky to meet om Suleman Miting, the owner, the history of coffee in Toraja will be told by him. Drink the coffee with local cookies, deppa tori, then listen to om Suleman's story about Toraja and coffee, you will give more appreciation to the farmers and the beauty of local culture. They roast the coffee with traditional pot combined with measurement from modern computer.

A coffee shop in Toraja that also sells their various beans for souvenir. They have robusta as well as arabica beans. If you dine in to taste their coffee, they will also serve depa tori (a traditional Toraja snack that is made of flour and brown sugar). The ambience is nice, the staffs are friendly, and the toilet is clean.
