Bonolog Coffee, Dining & Live Space

Bonolog is a modern café and dining space in central Mataram with one of the highest review counts of any café in the city. The design mixes urban industrial touches with comfortable lounge seating, and the venue changes character through the day.

In the daytime it is a calm place to work, with fast internet, plenty of power points and a menu of good espresso-based coffee, cakes such as its well-liked cheesecake, and Indonesian and Western dishes from an open kitchen. In the evening it turns into a lively hangout with live music every night, drawing a young local crowd. Service is quick and friendly, and staff are frequently named in reviews for going out of their way.

Bonolog's own site lists opening hours of 10:00 to 23:00 daily; live sets start in the evening. Reservations can be made via the website or WhatsApp, which is worth doing on Friday and Saturday nights. It is near Jalan Pejanggik and the Mataram Mall area, a short ride from most city hotels.
