Coffee before or after Kawah Ijen
Staying in Banyuwangi town for the Ijen hike? Huit Cafe is open 06:00–01:00, in time for a coffee before the midnight start or breakfast when you return.
Updated
Many Kawah Ijen hikers stay in Banyuwangi town and leave around midnight to see the blue fire and the sunrise. Huit Cafe's hours, 06:00 to 01:00, happen to fit both ends of that trip.
Before you leave
We are open until 01:00. If your pickup is around midnight, there is still time for coffee and something light. Quick choices: Americano (Rp17,000), Vietnam Drip (Rp18,000), or Nasi Goreng, Indonesian fried rice (Rp25,000), at dinner time.
Departure times and the drive to the trailhead vary by operator and route, so confirm them with your guide or driver.
After you come down
Most hikers are back in town during the morning, and by then we are open. What people usually want after a mountain:
- A warm local breakfast: Ketan Kirip, sticky rice with soybean or peanut topping (Rp12,000), or Klepon Ubi Ungu, purple sweet potato balls (Rp15,000), both served until 10:00
- A full meal: Nasi Sambal Cakalang, rice with spicy skipjack tuna (Rp25,000), or Nasi Sambal Baby Cumi, rice with spicy baby squid (Rp35,000)
- Something cold: Kecombrang Pass Sparkling, a torch ginger soda (Rp25,000), or a Healthy Smoothie (Rp22,000–24,000)
- A traditional jamu: Kunyit Asam (turmeric and tamarind) or Beras Kencur (rice and aromatic ginger), Rp12,000
