Nestled in the heart of Kelenggoan, Arjosari, STMJ Backstreet (Ngopak - Pasuruan) is a quaint local café that has mastered the art of crafting the traditional STMJ drink—a comforting blend of Susu (milk), Telur (egg), Madu (honey), and Jahe (ginger). This hidden gem on Jl. Raya Ngopak No.05 is an inviting spot that beckons both locals and travelers seeking a warm, revitalizing beverage experience unique to East Java's culinary heritage.

STMJ Backstreet's signature offering—the STMJ drink—is far from ordinary. It's a sensory delight that balances the creamy richness of fresh milk with the smooth texture of egg, complemented by the fragrant, spicy warmth of hand-grated ginger and the subtle sweetness of natural honey. The first sip is surprisingly soothing yet invigorating, making it perfect as a morning pick-me-up or a cozy late-afternoon treat. As shared by loyal customer Sary Yuni, “Sejak awal aku ngga suka stmj, tapi semenjak minum stmj di warung ini, sekarang aku jadi ketagihan” — a testament to how this café transforms perceptions with every cup.

Kristiana Wijayanti notes, “Tidak hanya stmj aja yg dijual banyak minuman varian susu rasa-rasa lainnya,” highlighting the café’s inventive menu that veers beautifully from tradition while still capturing that comforting essence.

The atmosphere here is intimate and cozy, though some might find the space a bit snug, as mentioned by Khilda Firdaus.
