Hijau, the Indonesian coffee pop-up known for a bright-green iced pandan latte, is graduating from two years of Bay Area farmers markets to a permanent room at 1432 W. San Carlos St. in San Jose.

Hijau, the Indonesian coffee pop-up whose iced pandan latte draws the longest line at San Jose's Rose Garden and Cupertino's De Anza College farmers markets, is moving into a permanent room. Co-owners Lisa Maria and Ryan Prawiradjaja have taken the space at 1432 W. San Carlos St., Suite 70, near the Rose Garden — their first fixed address after starting Hijau as a weekend stand in February 2024.

The husband-and-wife team built the following on drinks that route Indonesian flavors through an espresso bar. Maria, born and raised in Bekasi in West Java and a former product manager at a tech startup, told KQED she treats coffee as "my canvas to introduce Indonesian flavors" — her parents roasted coffee in Bekasi in the 1980s. The menu reconstructs Indonesian sweets as lattes: a klepon-inspired cup with pandan-infused palm sugar, coconut milk and a coconut-flake garnish; a nastar pineapple latte spiced with clove and cinnamon; and a wedang latte finished with torched ginger and lemongrass. The pandan latte, subtle and bright green, is the shop's most-ordered drink.

The fundamentals a regular would clock are still open. Hijau has not announced an opening date for the San Carlos Street space, and it has not published a price list; the name means "green" in Bahasa Indonesia. For now the pop-up keeps its schedule — Saturdays at the Rose Garden market, Sundays at De Anza. Maria has said Hijau doesn't yet roast with Indonesian beans but plans to in the business's next phase.

Hijau lands amid a small run of Bay Area kopi shops: Kopiku, on Lombard Street in San Francisco's Marina, and Kopi Bar in Walnut Creek both source beans through Beaneka, a local Indonesian roastery. The test now is whether a two-year farmers-market crowd follows Hijau indoors — San Carlos Street rent and all.
