But First ... Coffee

procaffeinating (N) 

the tendency to not start anything until you have a cup of coffee.

Like that quote saying, indeed, i need coffee before start everything. Coffee to start my engine. LOL. No, I am kidding. I am used to be like that. Everyday I need a cup of coffee. But not anymore due to serious gastric. Oh well, pity me. (Okay, it is not the point of my blog) I just wanna share my story. 

I heard this coffee shop quite some time. But again, I never had a chance to visit them before. Feels like the distance is so far from my house. Though it is not that far actually. But the traffic jam in Jakarta make it so so far away.  I went to this coffee shop at the same day as I visit Ruang Seduh. Because their location is just within 10-15mins drive. So why i wasted more time if i need to come the other day, while I have already near the area. 

     Another concept of coffee shop around South Jakarta, it's a cozy, warm, and  

     quiet place to chill. The outside seating area is furnished with old vintage chairs 

     and tables, with the perfect natural lighting that helps you to take 

     instagramable pictures look even cooler without editing. Otherwise, inside seating 

     area was not too big, but once you enter, it feels like home, decorated with 

     plants, dimmed light, wood furnitures, and there are some books to read. 

     If only during my visit, it was not that packed. I could sit there for longer 

     time. Yet, no space for me to sit, and enjoy my coffee. Even the restaurant that 

     adjoining with them, is full house, I think they got some events, during my visit. 

     So ya, what could be better than take away cup for the way out. 

     Ordered my Ice Americano to go, because it was so damn hot weather. I could  

     melt right away. Drinks price range is IDR25.000 to IDR45.000.

     They served some pastries if you would like to pair up your coffee with 

     something to bite. Or else, you can order something from SNCTRY Health Bar. 

     Overall the coffee was not so astounding, but it was decent and satisfying. 

     I love their glassware too, if only I can have dine in. They use some kind of    

     ceramic cup, which is going to add on the warmth feeling and homey feeling.

     Find somewhere cozy place to sit and enjoy coffee, here is one of them.

The Brewing Lab at Kemang

Brewing Room aka Ruang Seduh, ini terletak di belakang Toko Buku Aksara, Kemang. Kalau boleh jujur, pas Waze jalan kesini, di bilang nya uda Reach your Destination. Tapi kok ga lihat ada tulisan Ruang Seduh nya. Jadi mutar jalan sekali lagi. Terus karna bingung gitu, dan gak ada orang yang bisa di tanya. Coba-coba aja masuk ke lokasi yang di bilang sama Waze. Bahkan sampai ke parkiran pun masih bingung, dimana itu tempat kopi. Untung nya ada yang parkirin, jadi bisa tanya juga sama si Bapak. Terus uda di kasih tau di mana nya. Pas tau, oh ini tempatnya! kata yang terungkap tuh cuma "ni super antik dan unik!" Lain daripada yang lain #lebaidikit. Tapi asli, ini lain daripada tempat-tempat kopi yang pernah saya datangin. Hayo! Penasaran kan??? 

Jadi saya berkunjung kesini karena ingin mendapatkan satu buah cap untuk Jakarta Manual Book pas akhir 2016 kemarin.

Okay, memang mungkin ini sedikit terlambat blogpost nya. Tapi baru sempat untuk share soal tempat ini. Jadi mohon maaf dan maklumin saya ini ya, readers.

Denger-denger sih, mereka terkenal sama Manual Brew nya. Cuma sayangnya pas saya kesana, saya gak mencoba itu. Saya pesan Hot Latte aja. IDR35k. Karena hari itu udah minum beberapa kopi lainnya. Jadi gak pingin minum black coffee lagi.

Mereka juga menjual beberapa pilihan Snacks untuk kalian enjoy dengan Coffee nya. Mereka gak punya Minuman Ice. Tapi mereka menjual Cold Drop. Itu kaya Kopi baik Black maupun White ada, Kopi nya itu uda di botolin dan di Chilled gitu. Mereka juga punya Cold Pressed Juice dari Judas. Jadi dont worry kalau emang datang kesana dengan orang yang gak mau minum kopi, masih ada jus, dan ada pastry kok.

Tempat duduk mereka sebenarnya sedikit dan kecil, tapi di dalam ruangan yang sama ada namanya Kinosaurus. Namanya unik kan? Iya, tempatnya juga unik. Kinosaurus ini adalah cinema kecil di mana mereka sering menyetel film-film bagus, film-film nasional maupun internasional. Ada jadwal-jadwalnya gitu, mungkin bisa di Google untuk info lebih lanjutnya. Dengan tempat-tempat duduk di Kinosaurus itu, nah kita jadi bisa duduk di situ juga. Banyak tempat menarik untuk di foto di tempat ini.

Price range, tidak terlalu mahal. Ambience, cukup enak. Pilihan menu, oke, meskipun tidak terlalu banyak. Bisa di lihat dari foto-fotonya juga untuk punya gambaran kaya gimana sebenarnya.

From North to South Jakarta - DJULE KOFI

"coffee doesn't ask silly questions,

coffee understands." 

another review of one of coffee shops in Jakarta, to be exact, located in South Jakarta. Jakarta is getting more and more of coffee shops. It's a good thing for the coffee lovers, like me, I can find coffee wherever I need it one. yeah, maybe i love coffee a little bit too much, right?

so the story begins with Ombe Kofie, if you have ever heard about them, the owner of Ombe Kofie, open new coffee shop in South Jakarta. Ombe Kofie was very well known around North Jakarta, it was one of the coffee shop's pioneer around North Jakarta. I love their coffee a lot, the taste of the coffee was just perfect. Previously, I often to take away their coffee. And now they have brought their coffee to South. Glad that finally I can visit Djule. Because actually I really seldom to go to South area, for me, it is soooooo far. Okay maybe it is not that far, but because, you know, the super jam in Jakarta, that makes me feel so far from my house. I was lucky because during my visit, the traffic not so bad, so I can reach there quite fast. 

I came here and bought Macchiato only, because after that I will go for another coffee shops, I might get drunk by coffee if I drink too much shots of espresso. Macchiato was just right  for me. Like expected, I love their ambience too. Not too busy, not too noisy, I can enjoy my coffee right near the big window, enjoying the view of car pass through, people walking, selling, etc.

Still, I still love their taste of coffee too. The service was great, even i take a long time to think what to order, ask some suggestions, and the staff still patiently waiting for me without being pushy. 

I still recommend the coffee lover to try Djule Kofi. Get the different experience from Ombe Kofie. But the same standard of coffee, and service. 

If you don't know where to park, because as far as I can remember, there is no car parking in front of the coffee shop, I don't know whether It is not allowed or it is just the time where no one park in front of it. But I park at the building next to it, the building that got KFC. Just walk for 3 mins. Not far. Walk a bit still okay. :D

TeddyBar

Hello semuanya! Selamat hari minggu! Gimana weekend nya nih? Enjoy gak nih? Besok udah senin lagi aja ya, cepet banget ya. Ayo semangat, kita harus enjoy hari apapun itu :)

Jadi kemarin malem, Sabtu malem gitu saya janjian mau ketemu teman- teman SMA. Karna ada teman yang udah mau balik lagi ke luar negeri, terus karna kita rumahnya semua daerah Citra, kita lumayan mager (males gerak) untuk keluar dari daerah Citra. Kalo sabtu malam, macet banget di mana-mana, jadi pikir-pikir, di Citra sini-sini aja.

Nah, kalau yang belum tau daerah sini, dari semua Citra yang ada, dari 1-8, untuk sekarang ini, yang paling rame tempat nongkrong tuh Citra 6. Kalian bisa Google ada apa aja sih di Citra 6.

Well, pertanyaan paling simple tapi paling susah untuk di jawab muncul, di saat kita uda di dalem mobil sama-sama, "kita makan dimana?". Kalian pernah gak sih gitu juga? Kalau iya, angguk-angguk aja.  Habis itu bermunculan ide di A, B, C dst. Sampai terakhir keputusannya itu kita ke TeddyBar di citra 6. Sebenarnya saya juga gak tau ada tempat ini sebelumnya. TeddyBar ini baru ada beberapa bulan yang lalu. Kebetulan teman saya ada kenal sama yang punya. Jadi yaudah, sekalian mampir gitu.

Cute gitu menu-menunya. Semua berhubungan dengan Bear gitu. (Ya iyalah, namanya juga TeddyBar). Hampir semua menu itu Instagramable gituh. Kita ada order:
1. Fettucine Alfredo with Chicken Katsu
2. Taro and Cookies
3. Orange Squash
4. Hot Mocchacino
5. Ice Caramel Machiato
6. Oreo Milkshake

Harganya terjangkau.
Pilihan Menu lumayan banyak.
Taste juga oke.
Ada wi-fi.
Pelayanan nya juga oke.
Buat cewe-cewe, pasti kalian demen banget ada boneka Bear yang gede-gede gitu, buat kalian ajak foto-foto.

Simetri Coffee Roasters

Wih! Uda bulan dua aja nih guys, di 2017. Waktu cepet banget ya. Apa yang sudah Anda kerjakan selama di bulan satu? Jangan sia-siakan waktu yang ada.

Postingan blog kali ini bakal dalam bahasa Indonesia. Kalau di tanya, kenapa? Gak ada alasan khusus kok. Cuma pengen ganti suasana aja. Nanti boleh di komentar gimana dengan postingan dengan bahasa Indo nya. Mending bahasa Indo apa Inggris lagi.

Kali ini mau ceritain tentang satu Coffee Shop di Jakarta Barat. Buat saya pribadi, di Jakarta Barat ini belum terlalu banyak Cafe yang benar-benar enak untuk hangout dan rasa kopinya enak juga. Paling tuh Koultoura, Crematology, Say Something. Nah, Cafe ini udah pernah di rekomendasi sama salah satu sepupu saya. Tapi belum sempet berkunjung. Terus akhirnya tahun 2016 Kuarter akhir ada berkunjung ke Simetri 2 kali. Dan 2 2nya itu minum Filter Coffee nya mereka. Saya harus bilang, I like their Filter Coffee though :) Selalu enak. Recommended untuk Filter nya !

Terus baru-baru ini dateng lagi, sama temen, dan kita nyobain makannya kali ini. Yang di pesan:
1. A.W.E singkatan dari Avocado, Wheat Toast and Egg Whites - IDR35k

2. Wild Mushroom Fettucine (Fettucine with Mix Mushroom) - IDR55k

Untuk minuman nya, pesen Ice Tea, sama Duo, Duo itu dapet Espresso + Milk Based gitu. Kan asik bisa langsung dapet Black sama White nya sekali bayar. Di banding beli terpisah-pisah kan. Tapi gak tau promo yg ini masih ada apa gak, karna katanya waktu itu lagi promo begitu.

So far, makanannya enak kok. Cukup porsinya. Bukan yang sedikit juga. Taste good! Harga terjangkau. Kopi, enak! Secara tempat, suasananya enak buat ngobrol2, baca buku, bahkan saya pernah main board game disana sama temen2. Yang berarti Cafe ini enak untuk hangout kan? Servicenya juga selalu okay, orang-orangnya bukan cuma ramah, tapi tahu juga apa yang di jual, dan gokil.

Kafe yang bakal di rekomendasi juga untuk temen2 si sekitar Jakarta Barat, kalo belum pernah cobain, dateng aja 😁

Share your experience with me afterwards 😉

Pennyroyal Coffee

Do you have a cup of coffee everyday? Why you love to drink coffee? And what do you like the most from a coffee shop?

Well, let’s we take a look to this coffee shop. This little coffee shop, a hidden gem in PIK area, North Jakarta., is on my recommendation list if someone ask me where to hangout in PIK area. Back then, this surround this coffee shop, there was super less food and beverages outlet. You could count how many of them in that cluster. But nowadays, too many of new restaurants, cafes open.

Honestly, even though I have tried some of others nearby this coffee shop. I will keep coming back to this coffee shop, if I go to PIK area. I just fall in love with their coffee’s taste. Last time I used to order Mocha, because the strong taste of the espresso blends in so well with the sweetness of the chocolate.

Thus, for those of you guys, if doesn’t really like the coffee only, or sometimes you prefer coffee with additional sugars, better you order Mocha..

Yet, this time, I order Cappuccino.. And I have to say, the taste was still at its best. Lucky me, when I went there, there’s no other customers but me. I think it is because that time, it was end of year, and everyone was leaving the town.

You know, when you read a book, and there is a cup of coffee besides you to accompany your reading time, the feeling of having all these, is ……. Definitely good! Aren’t you agree with me? (Wave your hand, if you agree, :D just kidding)

But it is true, read a book, in a place where you can smell the coffee, you can have a sip of espresso or cappuccino or latte, accompany with the light music. Life is good, man!  Unfortunately, you cannot have it everyday. Well, if you have a time for this, why not? Have a me time, release the stress, going away from the crowd, and enjoy the time.

To make the story short, below, some photos i took during my visit. You will love their ambience, just so comfy to hangout. They sell some snacks as well, and as far as I can remember, the taste was good as well.

Lastly, I have to say, the service always good, they are so welcome, and they patiently waiting while you ordering.
