A very interesting coffee roastery with a menu that really stands out! The coffee takes a little while to prepare, but every cup is freshly crafted, but good things are worth waiting for :)

This is actually the place I've been wanting to visit. In fact, it's on top of my list of to go coffeeshop in Jakarta. The place is cozy, and baristas are friendly and informative, and ofcos the coffee is really recommended. Here, you can get a coffee subscription and also order various local and international coffee beans selections and get it roasted for you directly. For food, they only serve pastries but are perfect enough to pair it with your coffee. Definitely must visit if you're a coffee lover, simply just to chill out or do some work.

Good things are worth waiting for. Before you order, the barista goes over all the beans with you and tasting notes of each bean and gets lots of info from you about your likes and dislikes, almost like a perfumery. There are about 8 plus bean choices when we visited, You then select the best bean for the style of drink you order. It's amazing the different notes on each bean type. They do a really nice dirty latte, as it's a mall shot you may want to order and second drip coffee for sipping after. Seating is in a semi outdoor courtyard area with varying styles of seating. It was a bit muggy the day we visited as it was wet season and had just had some heavy rains the night before. Off into one corner they look to be offering coffee education courses in a private meeting room. Might be something to look into if you want to learn more about coffee as they really do seem know what they are doing with the beans. I picked up a few bags of the beans as well to take home and give out as gifts. Not the cheapest drinks but again you are paying for quality and expertise. There also building what looks to be a pickle ball or paddle ball court at the back, so maybe in the spring it will be up and running and your can pre caffeinated or post game caffeinated. Lots of parking out front. (this may become an issue when all the courts are in use) We visited on a week day around 10:45am and there was only 3 people there. If anything they could probably invest a bit in the decor and seating as it's all looking a bit dated at this point. Perhaps when the courts are finished they will.

Dropped by this café in the late afternoon since I had nothing to do and wanted to explore a new spot not too far from home. At first, it was a bit confusing to find the place because the signboard is quite small. The entrance is not at the front of the building, but slightly tucked inside, so you need to pay a little attention when arriving. Once inside, I was pleasantly surprised. The place is quite spacious. There is a large outdoor area with many fans, so it doesn’t feel too hot. Personally, I’m not a fan of warm weather, so I chose to sit indoors. The indoor area is also very big and comfortable, with cold air conditioning. For coffee options, they offer several types of beans. Since it was my first time here, the staff was very helpful in explaining the choices and helping me pick a suitable bean. I didn’t take long to decide and went with an Americano using their “bold” bean recommendation. The Americano tasted bold enough, but for my personal preference, it could be a bit bolder. It had a berry aftertaste that wasn’t too acidic, which was actually quite pleasant. Overall, it was good and enjoyable. I also tried the beef bread. This was honestly disappointing. The taste was very bland, only slightly sweet and salty. The beef was tough and chewy. This one is definitely NOT recommended

The service is quite okay, they have subs plan so basically you bought coffee beans and can use it for 4 glasses within 1 month. You just pay around 16k every glass. The ambience is ok also, not many seating place. The coffee is really good, one of the best coffee in town, especially filter coffee, on the rock, americano, and their latte!!
