Bali now home to Southeast Asia’s largest Starbucks store ‘Dewata’
Indonesia’s resort island of Bali is a popular holiday spot among global travelers, and its status as a gateway tourist destination to Southeast Asia’s largest economy has led to US coffee giant Starbucks opening its largest store in the region in the island’s busy neighborhood of Seminyak.
The branch takes after Bali’s colloquial title, namely Starbucks Reserve “Dewata”, a term that means “god” in the Hindu-majority island locally dubbed Pulau Dewata (Island of the Gods).
Situated on Jl. Sunset Road in Seminyak, the store is built on over 2,000 square meters of land and boasts a laid-back layout. With swinging seats on the patio and plush couches in the library-themed room on the second floor, it will be easy to feel cozy and right at home in Southeast Asia’s largest Starbucks store.
Poultry in motion: Go-Food records 10 million orders of chicken over one month

Go-Food marketing vice president Aristo Kristandyo said during a press conference that paket nasi (rice served with side dishes) was the second most popular dish on Go-Food with 3.5 million orders during the promotion, followed by coffees and noodles with 1.5 million orders each.

“Don’t sacrifice something in the short-run that will influence you in the long-run,” Devie told kompas.com on Tuesday.
