Customer satisfaction is one of the key factors in the sustainability of a business, particularly in the service sector such as cafes, as it influences customer loyalty and the attraction of new visitors. Seladang Cafe, located in Bener Meriah, still faces challenges such as the lack of young visitors and complaints regarding menu variety, cleanliness of the cafe area, and the presence of mosquitoes that disturb customer comfort. This study aims to measure customer satisfaction with the services of Seladang Cafe and to identify service indicators that need improvement. The study involved 100 respondents selected through purposive sampling, specifically customers who had visited the cafe at least twice. Data were analyzed using the Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) to determine the overall level of satisfaction and Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) to map indicators that should be improved or maintained. The results show that the CSI score was 77.00%, which falls into the “satisfied” category. However, the IPA analysis revealed several indicators in the priority improvement quadrant, namely menu accuracy, highlighting the distinctive Gayo taste, parking area security, and the display of the cafe logo. Based on these findings, recommendations include providing employee training to ensure order accuracy, offering menu variations that reflect Gayo specialties, adding a clearly visible cafe logo from the main road, and improving parking security through staff placement or CCTV installation.
