Why everyone keeps coming back.

Bubur Ayam Paling Enak di Makassar - Cafe Bean is a beloved local gem nestled on Jl. A. P. Pettarani No.30 in Makassar, Sulawesi Selatan. Specializing primarily in Indonesian porridge, this spot masterfully blends traditional flavors with a bustling, authentic atmosphere that perfectly captures the spirit of a local breakfast haunt.

As a porridge restaurant and breakfast spot, Cafe Bean offers a variety of comforting dishes that soar beyond the expectations of a typical morning meal. The highlight, without a doubt, is their signature bubur ayam (chicken porridge), celebrated by customers like Dinda Ayu Larasati who praises its rich, savory taste and satisfying warmth — a true must-try that ignites the palate and fills you up without heaviness. Alongside this iconic dish, their crispy and flavorful bakwan sayur (vegetable fritters) crackle with freshness, served hot for an irresistible crunch. The tahu pedas (spicy tofu) also garners rave reviews, notable for its delightful crispiness and mild kick that keeps patrons coming back week after week.

The menu extends beyond breakfast staples, with lunch options such as fragrant lamb fried rice providing a heartier fare that remains incredibly satisfying, even when ordered via delivery. This speaks volumes about the kitchen’s consistency and dedication to flavor, winning over customers like Anggi with its downright addictive taste.

The dining environment is modest yet lively, often described as a small space filled with animated energy, especially during peak morning hours when locals grab a quick but flavorful meal before starting their busy day. Guests may notice some street noise due to its convenient roadside location, but this only adds to the authentic, bustling Makassar vibe. For those seeking a quieter experience, takeaway is a popular and practical choice, as noted by regulars like Immareta Christabel who appreciate the simplicity and heartiness of their quick bites.

Beyond the porridge, Cafe Bean serves as a multifaceted community hub, doubling as a coffee shop, diner, and even offers boat rentals and fishing charters for adventurous customers looking to make the most of Makassar’s coastal charm. This unique combination makes it not just a place to eat but an integral part of a day’s itinerary, blending culinary delight with local culture and adventure.

In essence, Bubur Ayam Paling Enak di Makassar - Cafe Bean is more than a restaurant; it’s a flavorful, welcoming experience that invites you to savor authentic Indonesian breakfast classics in a warm and spirited setting. Whether you're a local in search of your next favorite meal or a traveler eager to sample the true tastes of Sulawesi Selatan, this spot stands ready to impress with every bite.

It's great bubur. The tahu pedas is wonderfully crispy and the perkedel sayur is always great. I try to make it once a week or so if I'm in town. A favorite breakfast!

Bubur Bean — Simple & Cocok Buat Sarapan Nyoba bubur bean buat sarapan, dan ternyata enak Rasanya ringan tapi ngenyangin, cocok banget buat start hari tanpa yang berat-berat. Lokasinya di pinggir jalan, jadi yaaa siap-siap panas dan agak berisik Lebih cocok buat makan cepet / takeaway sih menurutku.

Awalnya dikira ini semacam warung, ternyata cafe, makanya harga menu lumayan mahal. Kami datang di hari minggu jam 7 pagi sudah buka. Suasana lumayan nyaman,L dan bersih, ada kipas angin, tempat tidak terlalu besar, tidak ada ruang ber-AC, sekitar 15 menit makanan sudah disajikan. Kami pesan : Bubur Ayam Bean Spesial Telur 8/10 Harga Rp. 23.000 Isian : Bubur, Telur 1 butir, potongan cakwe, ayam suwir, kacang kedelai (kurang garing), daun bawang, kerupuk (terpisah). Gak ada kuah kuningnya (beli terpisah Rp. 1.000). Suka dengan tekstur buburnya, padat, tidak mudah berair, dan tidak hambar. Tanpa beli kuah kuningnya , buburnya sudah enak sih menurutku. Bubur Ayam Bean Spesial Ati 8/10 Harga Rp. 23.000 Isian : Sama dengan bubur ayam spesial telur, hanya saja telurnya di ganti dengan potongan ati ampela. Bubur Ayam Bean Telur Dadar 8,5/10 Harga Rp. 28.000 Isian : Sama dengan bubur ayam spesial telur, cuman telurnya diganti dengan telur dadar terus ada tambahan potongan ati ampela. Ini perpaduan yang cukup apik sih. Rujak Cireng 9,5/10 Harga Rp. 28.000 Ini sih juaranya. Kalian harus coba. Ini cireng yang paling garing dan enak yang pernah saya coba. Kulit luarnya crispy serasa makan kulit ayam crispy . Saus cocolannya juga mantap. Tahu Pedas 8/10 Isian : Ayam suwir, kol, wortel Sedikit asin isinya. Tapi lumayan enak. Pelayanan gercep dan ramah. Saran aja, semoga tempatnya bisa di upgrade, terutama penyediaan ruang ber-AC, karena ini sekelas cafe dan harga makanannya juga cukup mahal. Jadi tempat dan makanan harus berbanding lurus. Sukses untuk Cafe Bean!!
