A CUP hot coffee landed on the table. The cold Sigandul View in Temanggung Regency, Central Java, encouraged me to immediately sip the coffee served by the cafe owner. The owner of Sigandul View is Luthfi Naufal.
My encounter with the cafe owner was not accidental. While looking for a hotel, The vehicle that took me from Semarang to Temanggung passed through Sigandul View. The driver, Cock, said that this place has the best view in Temanggung.
Accidentally, the hotel we were going to was located right in front of it. Curious about Kokok's words, finished check in, I immediately stepped into the cafe. It doesn't reach Sigandul View from the hotel 5 minutes walk.
That afternoon, I just ordered a cup of coffee and fries, and choose to sit in the park. I paid around IDR 15 thousand to get a place in the park. The view from the garden is truly beautiful. Rows of green trees, including tobacco, able to cool the eyes and heart.
This place is suitable for Paradiva who want to relax, especially after almost a week of activities at the office.
