The process of running a democracy all people have the right to express their opinions and opinions openly in public. Understanding of democracy should not only be limited to formality, but democracy must provide space for the public to be able to convey their opinions in broad terms. Space or can be said as a place where citizens can express their opinions, interests, and needs in a discursive and pressure free manner are the core of the idea of public space itself. One of the public spaces created by civil society is the existence of coffee shops. Coffee shops are a container that can provide a place for people to interact with each other. This study examines the transition of coffee shops as part of public space in the era of post-reconstruction Aceh. The study was a phenomenological study, which was analyzed descriptively qualitatively and interpretively from the results of field observations, as well as on interviews conducted with the actors involved through the actor's network theory approach. The findings conclude that Aceh's reconstruction has caused shifts in public space which specifically the viewers see in the case of coffee shops and as a result of the reconstruction of public spaces that should be inclusive and accommodate all community groups, shifting into a public space that accommodates certain groups and does not accommodate other groups.
