Jakarta's Best Coffee Shops

In recent years, we have seen such a growing phenomenon in the local culinary scene, especially with the growth of new dining places. Most of them serve coffee in their menu list and along with all those growing numbers, I have summarize them to my list of the best coffee shops in Jakarta. I hope this can be a great guide for coffee lovers who are in Jakarta or planning to visit Jakarta! PS: Jakarta has great places to have coffee!

This is NOT a countdown list, this list is organized by alphabetical order.

Anomali Coffee
Jalan Senopati Raya No. 37
Jakarta Selatan
021 - 5292 0102
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Considered one of the best coffee shops in Jakarta, Anomali Coffee certainly needs no more introduction. This coffee joint's using local beans for their coffees! Since Indonesia's one of the largest coffee producers in the world, that means you don't need to worry about the quality. The coffees served here talk for themselves and for the loyal costumers as well as myself. If you love your coffee with a little touch of fusion, then try their famous Creme Brulee Caramel Coffee (IDR 44k), top recommendation.

Bakoel Coffee
Jalan Senopati Raya No. 92A
Jakarta Selatan
021 - 7591 2249
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bakoel Coffee is one of the oldest coffee joint in Jakarta, the heritage started on 1878 by Liauw Tek Siong. Located in the Senopati area, Bakoel Coffee doesn't have that spacial area but as you step yourself in the coffee shop, you'll be excited by the coffee aroma surrounding the narrow venue. My favorite menu here is their "Caramel Latte" (IDR 42k)

Bar/Coffee
Senayan City Mall, LG fl.
Jalan Asia Afrika Lot. 19, Jakarta Selatan

Blacklisted Coffee
Lotte Shopping Avenue, 1st fl.
Jl. Prof. Dr. Satrio Kav 3-5
021 - 2988 9166
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blacklisted is one of my most favorite coffee shops at the moment, despite its comfy interior and their tasty coffees, I also love the fact of how simple their coffee is, but with a great production, the coffee turns out to be really good. Their "Cappuccino" (IDR 30k) and "Caramel Latte" (IDR 35k) are my recommendations here.

Coffee Bean
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As one of the largest franchise in Indonesia as well as in the world, Coffee Bean is not only serving good coffees, also lifestyle and social. My favorite here is their "Cappuccino", tasted a little bold with awesome balance between the milk and shots of espresso.

Coffeebar
Rukan Crown Golf Mediterania Blok D No. 15-16
Pantai Indah Kapuk
Jakarta Utara
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The existence of this following coffee shop has caught attention from both coffee lovers and the youths. Coffeebar at Pantai Indah Kapuk serves you great coffee using the Toraja beans, therefore their coffees are slightly more acid then the ones using arabica or local beans. I am really fond of their "Caramel Macchiato" (IDR 32k) for that oh-generous caramel sauce and syrup.

C's Steak and Seafood
Grand Hyatt Hotel Jakarta, 4th fl.
Jl. M.H. Thamrin Kav. 28-30
Jakarta 10350
021 - 2992 1234

Crematology Coffee Roasters

Jl. Suryo No. 25, Senopati

Jakarta Selatan 12180

021 - 7278 0012

Crematology is currently one of the hippest coffee shop. Located at the busy Senopati area, this coffee shop won my heart for its comfortable interior filled with earthy elements, the scent of coffee lingering all around the venue and decent coffees to wake your spirit.

Dill Gourmet Cafe

Plaza Indonesia, F43 LB

Jl. M.H. Thamrin Kav. 28-30

Jakarta 10350

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are more of a lighter coffee person, then the coffees from Dill might be good options for you. Among the list, Dill probably has the lightest intensity of coffee.

Djournal Coffee
Grand Indonesia & Summarecon Mal Serpong 2 (both GF)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another favorite coffee shop to visit at the moment: Djournal Coffee! It has won my heart for its awesome coffee creations and amazing venue perfect for your personal moment, private business meeting or spending time with your loved ones. Djournal's coffees are using Toraja beans, (same like Coffeebar) and that's why the flavor tend to get more acid than the others on this list, but so far, that's a good thing and slightly more unique. Try their "Salted Caramel Coffee" (IDR 39k) and "Caramel Macchiato" (IDR 33k) for they're really good!

Espressamente Illy 

Plaza Senayan, 3rd fl. Unit 306-310C

Jl. Asia Afrika No. 8

Senayan, Jakarta Selatan

021 - 7071 4587

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Illy is undoubtedly one of the best coffee pioneers in the world and when they're making their own coffee shop for their loyal fans, there's no further suspicion on their coffee creations. Espressamente Illy at Plaza Senayan is currently another regular visit for me, their Cappuccino is just balanced, in a way...light, but overall, well made!

Excelso Coffee

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of the largest coffee joint in Indonesia and also in Jakarta is Excelso Coffee or more well known as D'Excelso Cafe, until now, around 105 outlets are spread around 19 cities in Indonesia. FYI, if you didn't know about this, Excelso is actually a local brand (yes it is originally from our beloved country Indonesia), and it's under the same group as Kapal Api Group!

Giyanti Coffee

Jalan Surabaya No. 20, Menteng

Jakarta Selatan

021 - 3192 3698

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even though I haven't personally try this one, but a lot of fellow food bloggers claiming that this is one of the hippest greatest places to have coffees, well surely I believe my fellow food bloggers and that's why it deserves to be on the eatandtreats list!

Ikuze Japanese Food Bazaar

Avenue of The Stars, Lippo Mall Kemang

UG fl. Unit 01 OD

Jl. Pangeran Antasari No. 36P

Kemang, Jakarta Selatan

021 - 2952 8356

Javva Coffee
Jl. Senopati No. 71-73 (Inside Kedaung Showroom, beside Woodstone Eatery)
Jakarta Selatan
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Getting here was a little bit tricky, they're more familiar with "Kedaung Interior" because this coffee shop's hidden somewhere inside this Interior shoroom. Talking about the space, this might be the smallest coffee shop in Jakarta. It's more like an area where people who initially want to shop for interior items can sit down and relax and sip one two cups of coffees. Try their Encek Coffee, it's their take on Java Milk Coffee.

JJ Royal Brasserie
Lotte Shopping Avenue, LG fl.
Jl. Prof. Dr. Satrio Kav. 11
Jakarta, Indonesia 12940
021 - 2988 8980
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you hear that JJ Royal is the company that handles the coffees in certain restaurants, then you can sweep all your worry away. They're famous for their premium coffees along with the fragrant beans and lovely coffee creations made from it. JJ Royal Brasserie is undoubtedly one of the hippest dining places at the moment and they also serve great coffees as well! You can customize your coffee with special latte art (you can even have one with your face drawn with the latte art).

Kopi Kitchen
Avenue of The Stars, Lippo Mall Kemang, UG fl.
Jl. Pangeran Antasari, Kemang
Jakarta Selatan
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Their version of Caramel Macchiato is just great!"

Kopi Luwak
Grand Indonesia West Mall
LG fl. Unit 07
Jl. M.H. Thamrin No. 1
Jakarta Pusat.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kopi Luwak is famous for their uber fragrant beans and creations and also for their...expensive price tag! But I can tell you the coffee is perfect for those who love more intense flavor of coffee with a hint of bitterness. I once tried both: without the sugar and one with brown sugar mixed in, and turns out I liked the plain one better. One cup of Kopi Luwak can cost you around IDR 90k. I had tried their "Iced Blended Avocado Coffee" and turned out it's pretty decent (sorry no picture, I didn't bring my camera back then).

Koultoura Coffee
Jl. Taman Ratu Raya Blok AA2/33
Taman Ratu, Jakarta Barat
021 - 2952 0310
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Koultoura Coffee Jakarta is currently one of my most regular visits, most of the times, what makes me miss this place so much is the homey comfortable interior and the decent coffees. They also serve brunch, lunch and dinner menu for those who wanted extra shot of carbs or proteins to their system.

Liberica Coffee
Pacific Place Jakarta, 4th fl.
Jl. Jendral Sudirman Kav. 52-53
Sudirman, Jakarta Selatan
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personally for me, Liberica Coffee is one of the best coffee shop in Jakarta. They have bold taste of coffees from the rare Liberica beans (and that's the philosophy of the naming), even though it's a fact that one cup of Cappuccino here could cost more than ones you can find in other coffee shops, but it promises you a great quality from that cup of coffee. If you want "a sweet company" while sipping your favorite coffee here, don't forget to grab that beautiful "Liberica Cake", it tastes so damn good.

Lucaffe
Pacific Place, 1st fl.
Jl. Jendral Sudirman Kav. 52-53
Sudirman, Jakarta Selatan
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is another great coffee shop located in Pacific Place (also one of my most favorite at the moment), it's Lucaffe! Located at the first floor of Pacific Place mall, this tiny coffee shop with a little touch of Paris on the interior is ready to serve you with the fine coffees.

Monolog Coffee
Plaza Senayan P1 Area, unit 101A
021 - 572 5144
Senayan, Jakarta Selatan
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you have their coffees, make sure you pair it with their famous Oreo Chocolate Mud Cake (IDR 50k).

monViet
Avenue of The Stars at Lippo Mall Kemang
1st fl. #06A
Jl. Pangeran Antasari No. 36
Jakarta Selatan 12150
021 - 2952 8439
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Vietnamese restaurant has selection of deadlicious coffees! Either black or white coffee, different coffee, same awesomeness!

One Fifteenth Coffee
Jalan Gandaria I/63
Jakarta Selatan
021 - 722 5678
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Awarded one of the best coffee shops in Jakarta by many, One Fifteenth (1/15) Coffee is worth your visit! They are not only serving "serious" coffees for the peeps, but also the ambiance, it's clearly shown from the awesome interior of this coffee shop, I personally think it's my ideal coffee shop interior, really simple and minimalist, but not leaving the classy feeling behind!

Pandava Coffee
Epicentrum Walk at Epicentrum Mall
Jl. Rasuna Epicentrum, GF W119
Epicentrum Kuningan, Jakarta Selatan
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been using the term "one of the best coffee" like a lot in this post, but the thing is, each coffee shop is unique and some of them just deserve the label, and FYI, it's "one of the best" though, not like I label something "the best of the best". This following coffee shop is also another candidate of one of the best coffee shop in Jakarta. Located at Epicentrum Walk Kuningan, this coffee shop is serving you great coffees as result from the great roasting, grinding and blending! I recommend their "Piccolo Latte" or their shakes creations.

Shangri-La Hotel - The Lounge
Shangri-La Hotel Jakarta, Lobby Level
Kota BNI Jl. Jendral Sudirman Kav. 1
Jakarta Pusat, 10220
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This venue mentioned here might be slightly different from the others as it's located in a hotel, but along with the decent coffees served here, it's also a perfect venue for personal or business meeting.

Starbucks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't think this coffee shop needs anymore introduction, it's Starbucks everyone, I bet 80% of the whole population is the world knows about this coffee shop because it's literally everywhere! From all the coffee shops on this list, Starbucks is probably my numero uno most visit, not only for the coffees, but their outlets are just perfect for meeting, perfect for doing my personal projects and also my personal me time, also I come back for their awesome "Caramel Macchiato". For some, Starbucks' not only a place they go to have coffees, but it's more like a lifestyle to them.

Tanamera Coffee Roastery
Thamrin City Office Park AA 07
Jakarta Pusat

Currently one of my favorite coffee shop! Despite its small venue, the ambiance of this coffee shop is insanely awesome and homey, and definitely... decent coffees :).

UNION

Plaza Senayan Courtyard GF

Jakarta Selatan

Another reason why I come back to UNION beside of their uber-fabulous cakes, it's also for their coffee creations. Their version of "Caramel Macchiato" is just awesome. I love how they managed to give a slightly more generous amount of caramel syrup and sauce, but after you mix it, everything's well balanced.

Dill Gourmet Cafe Plaza Indonesia

Hello dear my lovely readers!

It feels great for me because I've been updating pretty often lately while I am still in my busy days, but anything to keep in touch and share with you, I'll gladly do!

So I got an email and it was a lunch invitation for a private casual lunch session with Dill Gourmet Cafe, this is certainly what I love about casual yet private lunch, I got to chat more and more with the authorized accounts behind a restaurant, while definitely having lunch, it just feels great for me. Exclusive while yet not in a super glamorous kinda way.

Dill Gourmet Cafe is an invention from the Culture Royale Catering, this catering is pretty well known for its upscale costumers for they mostly handle upscale events, mostly relating to the socialites' event, and they're trying to make a new invention for a more general market with this cafe. Dill Gourmet is located just across "Fat Burger" on the LB floor. The area of this venue's not spacial, but it's pretty comfortable for a coffee time and lunch. Let's tour this place.

Okay, you're probably going to be shocked about this one. Despite the upscale clients they're having for its catering company, the food and beverages served here are (relatively) cheap and affordable. If you're expecting a cafe with a kitchen, then this might not be something you desired. They're selling food from their catering office that's being freshly served as your order. If you're starting to get a little confused with my explanation, then it's good, because I'm getting more detailed!

This cafe doesn't have any kitchen and they're serving food that needs to be heated with the oven. I know some of you might think of this as a friggin cheap food you can find at grocery stores or supermarkets, I can totally relate, because I had that in mind too at first, but wait until you try the food here yourself, you might change your perception of this kind of food, again we learn that it's not always okay to judge a food from its packaging.

Spinach Canneloni
IDR 30k

Surprisingly, those need-to-be-heated food actually tasted adorable. This was my first course to try and you can see for yourself that this food doesn't look bad, ehm, it's not because of me who took the pictures but I'm just capturing the fact here, you can even see that the tomato is still pretty fresh. I love the taste of this food, it fits vegetarians who want to have pasta for their daily cravings, the spinach's so fresh, the canneloni is nicely cooked, the cream's sort of cheesy but not in an overpowering way, this whole course is simply my new love growing from the lunch.

Grilled Chicken Sandwich
IDR 38k
Okay, second round. Just when I unwrapped this sandwich, the aroma of the grilled chicken just tortured me, trust me, you won't feel the greasiness from the mayonnaise and the bread. Thumbs up for the nicely cooked and seasoned grilled chicken! The bread's almost sort of semi-moist which is good because you're probably in a rush in the morning and you need something express while wanting the stomach to hold it for another few hours, that bread can fill you up.

Dill's Mini Breakfast Pizza
IDR 34k
Looking for a personal pizza for breakfast? This one might be in your consideration. It has a thin crispy layer with beef bacon toppings and half-done Sunny Side Up. Sunny Side Up in the morning is always exciting for me.

Hot Tea
IDR 28k
Just when they told me they're using Ronnefeldt tea, there was a little smile. Ronnefeldt has a very great selection of teas yet with a very nice scent! They gave me this "Morgentau" flavor to try and I can say that this is probably my new favorite tea flavor. Very calming, for this kind of tea, I don't want to overpower it with tons of sugar for my liking, just a little sugar and let the original flavor soothes to your soul.

Hot Cappuccino
IDR 33k
The cappuccino package is served with two Dill Gourmet signature flavored cookies! I got mine in "Matcha" and "Double Chocochip". The cappuccino is light, proper for you who doesn't like a strong taste for coffee. Not a huge fan of the burnt stuff on top (guessing it's like creme brulee), but it's their style of presentation so what can I say, the burnt stuff itself is not affecting the taste much tho.

Chocolate Pie
IDR 16k
For a sweet tooth like me, desserts are some things I just can't say NO to. One glance at this Chocolate Pie and I knew I wanted to have a bite. It's rich in chocolate, I'd recommend having this with a cup of coffee to balance the sweetness :).

Red Velvet Cake

IDR 30k

Apple Crumble Pie
IDR 16k
Had this during another visit, just another reason to earn happy fats! Overall the pie is pretty moist and decent, the apple filling's too.

Tiramisu Mango Pudding
IDR 8.5k/each
A little sweet treats for you, just in case you're not feeling for the cakes (but who does that). I am fond of the Tiramisu more than the Mango Pudding, I was expecting the texture to be mousse-like but in fact it's jelly-like.

DILL rewarded me with their famous cookies for me to take home. Double Chocolate Chip Cookies to be exact. The cookies are not the moist and fluffy ones but certainly the delicious ones. I kinda love this cookies.
IDR 75k/can

DILL is just a perfect place for you to have your coffee or tes time or a private meeting with your co-workers or relatives. The ambience fits the versatility, you can get rather casual or formal here, it's a place to sit back and relax for me. If you want to work on your projects? High speed WiFi is ready for you, why do I feel like WiFi is like the main menu of a restaurant lately?

BY THE WAY,
Dill Gourmet Cafe is having a promotion right now!!! For every purchase of Tea/Coffee, you'll get 50% OFF THE DESSERTS! (cakes, puddings, pies). Such a nice deal right for those beautiful cakes! Another 50% off for every cakes passed 19:30!

Come and visit Dill for a day to relax while sipping on your favorite coffee, and oh, I also love their Mocha Cafe (IDR 39k), I didn't manage to take a picture of my latest visit, but that's worth to try :)).

Until the next post!
