Situated at Jl. Terusan Ijen No.2b, this cafe is a must-visit for anyone seeking a unique blend of local culture and comforting culinary delights.

Upon arrival, you might find the location a bit tucked away, but this only adds to its charm.

You might even want to participate in a geocaching adventure, as highlighted by Erik Mulder.

The cafe encompasses clean facilities, including a well-maintained restroom and prayer room, ensuring that your visit is as comfortable as possible. For those bringing two-wheelers, there's a designated bike parking space, while cars can be parked outside the cafe. However, as Child OfGod suggested, it would be beneficial for Cafe Bunker to have clearer signage to avoid newcomers from straying too far down the path.
