COFFEE & ROASTERY
Since we live in one of the best coffee growing area in the world I decided to start roasting local beans in 2006. A tiny electric roaster impressed me with amazing results of aromatic coffee that I upgraded and tried different beans from Arabica to Robusta and special blend. After 10 years of experience roasting we have various products to sell in the restaurant and as a souvenir.
We started roasting local coffee beans in 2011 with a small electric roaster and Tabo Restaurant was the first to serve a delicious local brewed coffee from freshly roasted Arabica and Robusta beans. The rather cool climate of the highlands of Sumatra around Toba Lake on 906m altitude is especially suitable for the “new” Arabica coffee.
When I started at the age of 8 baking cakes for family and neighbours I didn’t dream of running a German bakery in the middle of Sumatra . After opening Tabo Bakery in 1994 with simple recipes I practised and explored the market for fresh wholesome ingredients and finally found imported grains and seeds and learned to bake exceptional breads, rolls, pastries and cakes using traditional German recipes. I had missed the hearty breads and pastries of my home and opened Tabo bakery in order to bring you (and me) the best of both worlds.
We are using fine quality imported cereals and oil seeds like malt, wheat, rye, oat, soya, sunflower and linseed as well as locally grown fresh fruits, vanilla, chocolate, coconuts, pumpkins and wheat. We strictly avoid the usage of any chemicals like preservatives, bread”improvers”, food colouring etc. All our baked goods are made fresh by hand and served warm for our morning buffet, menus, special requests and events. We bake our bread in the healthiest and most professional way so that it keeps well for 3 days,
The restaurant is spacious and open, so that there is always a great breeze to be enjoyed. By the time we have added 5 Garden Pavilions and our famous “Sopo”, a traditional meeting house by the shore of the Lake to guarantee enough space and privacy for our guests.
