Wingko Babat Cap Kereta Api
Railway Brand
This outlet is just on the edge of Semarang's Old Town. In addition to wingko they have a wide range of other sweet and savoury snack stuffs, and a small selection of souvenirs like fridge magnets. The shop is a much calmer experience than the toko oleh-oleh of Jl Pandanaran which can be crowded and hot, especially if a coachload of tourists arrives.

Spiegel Bar and Bistro
Thoughtful and atmospheric reworking of an almost derelict heritage building, which was a general store during colonial times. Pizza, burgers, pasta, steak, fish and chips, Caesar salad - the menu is similar to all other Indonesian venues of this kind. A few surprises here and there. It's a bar too, so there is alcohol, but also means smoking is allowed. The building also hosts two related businesses:Spiegel Home Studio — a rental studio apartment. Sleeps 4. Rp800,000.
