Introduction
Today's coffee-drinking culture has become a new trend and lifestyle for people-all groups ranging from the elderly, young people, men and women. If previously, the habit of drinking coffee in a coffee shop was considered normal, but later coffee drinking activities were sometimes accompanied by conversations with friends, family, and co-workers. Even for some people, making a coffee shop is a place to carry out business activities such as meeting clients or as a meeting place [1].
In general, a coffee shop is a place that provides and sells processed drinks from coffee beans for consumption by the public. A coffee shop is a building used to sell food and drinks. Coffee shops are formed to facilitate the needs of producers in carrying out life by selling drinks or products in the form of coffee (as well as food) [2]. In addition to being supported and formed by other factors such as the culture of the community that like coffee, the shop makes coffee a place to interact with fellow communities.
A coffee shop is a place that provides coffee along with other products as the main drink and various other types of (sideline) drinks such as tea and chocolate, in addition to providing types of snacks that are also offered as a companion snack to drinking coffee. A coffee shop is also a gathering place for people who just relax.

Activities enjoying coffee while resting, talking and even doing a job at a coffee shop [4].
Nowadays, coffee is a drink that is increasingly sought after at this time.

As a result, coffee shops with modern nuances (coffee shops) with various world-famous names have sprung up in Indonesian cities.

Likewise, coffee shops or shops in north Sulawesi, especially in Minahasa, have sprung up everywhere. Somebody can find Coffee house businesses in the capital of North Sulawesi Province.
One of them is the Gembira Kawangkoan Coffee House in Minahasa, and visitors can try this area's speciality coffee. To get there, we must travel approximately one hour from Manado to Minahasa or 30 minutes from Tomohon City. Ipthae Hang founded this coffee shop in 1946 in Kawangkoan City, and its position remains on the side of the main Manado-Minahasa road. Although it has been a long time, until now, the Gembira coffee house remains and survives with more and more customers visiting. Not only from Minahasa but also from Manado city and other areas in the northern Sulawesi region.
The popularity of coffee has also brought changes to the development of the business world, especially in the business world in the culinary field around Kawangkoan -Minahasa. We can see this in the increasing number of coffee shop businesses, whose modern term is "Cafe", mushrooming in cities. Cafes are also a medium of socializing in various circles, where we can find cafes filled with young people who gather with their relationships and engage in small talk about their lives.
And more romantically, of course, the café as a date location. The visitors also come from diverse backgrounds, ranging from entrepreneurs, employees (public and private), and students/students. There are also specific communities such as motorcycles, football lovers, bloggers, etc. In terms of comfort, the café does have more value because the atmosphere is not too formal and can be much more relaxed.

This menu is presented at Rumah Kopi Gembira precisely during the competition of cafes now wide open with more modern designs and facilities. This makes this Rumah Kopi Gembira keep it existing more and more crowded. Connoisseurs from the past say they do not have to go to the coffee house that is currently open because the atmosphere will be much different from that in this Rumah Kopi Gembira. Without contemporary decorations and wifi facilities for hanging out or enjoying coffee, joyful coffee is very different from cafes that are currently trending songs.
