From the start, Dijon wasn’t just about great food and imported products—it was about creating a space that felt like home. David and Intoek were determined to
build more than just a business; they wanted to foster a community.
With every customer interaction, they made it clear that Dijon was a place where people mattered, where relationships were nurtured, and where everyone was welcome. This genuine approach quickly turned Dijon into a local favourite, earning the loyalty of customers who have been coming back for over twenty years.
The community connection didn’t just help Dijon grow; it was the backbone of their success, especially during tough times. When Bali faced crises like bombings, earthquakes, and the tsunami, Dijon stood by the community. Susan Scherer, David’s mother, took the lead in organising relief efforts, transforming Dijon into a hub for support. Alongside David and Intoek, she rallied the community, collecting donations from expats, local businesses, and suppliers.
Their tireless work provided not just material aid but also a sense of hope and solidarity when it was needed most. These moments of compassion and commitment deepened the bond between Dijon and its customers.
Today, Dijon is more than a Shop or Cafe—it’s a cherished part of Bali’s story, a place where people don’t just come to shop or eat, but to be part of a community that values connection, kindness, and quality.
For David and Intoek, the greatest reward is knowing they’ve created a space that brings people together, not just as customers, but as friends and family.
