2024 East Jakarta Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in December)

Hakuna Matata Cafe

My kind of #weekendgetaways today! I visited this cozy cafe name Hakuna Matata. It was on the top list of cafe that being recommended by Google when I searched "Cafe in Cijantung" today. No wonder there were so many people here on weekend. The ambience is nice. Some people also came with kids. Not a type of cafe that you can find people with laptop working here. It is more suitable for hanging out with friends/family and having chit-chat here. The foods were great! They have various type of spaghetti which I really like. 📍 Hakuna Matata Jl. Pertengahan no 5, Cijantung, Pasar Rebo, East Jakarta. Best way to get here is with motorbike. Because their parking space is also available for motorbike only.

Savvy Brew - Jakarta

beautiful coffee shop on the border of Jakarta and Bekasi, Savvy Brew 💚 You know this from the brothers on the side of the road, right next to the gate of the housing complex. The decor is really that beautiful, European style. All the spots are beautiful for photos. There are indoor as well as outdoor. ✨️ The menu includes heavy meals, snacks and drinks. I just ordered coffee. This is the second delicious latte cookie in my opinion. The taste of the biscoff blends with the coffee, the sweetness is just right, the coffee still tastes strong, and the portion is also big. Jd really worth it! The staff is super nice, and very friendly, and they are also responsive when the customer needs anything 📍Savvy Brew, Maison De Wisteria, Ujung Menteng, East Jakarta #cafe #coffee #coffeeshop #foodie #spooktaculartrip#tripblazers

Let 'S relax SPA @ BEST WESTERN THE HAVE

#Beauty at Spa Let'S relax SPA @ BEST WESTERN PREMIER THE HAVE JAKARTA Spa in a 5-star hotel in the eastern basket area. The hotel's spa is on the 3rd floor next to the fitness center. The essential oils here are pure natural. When you finish the oil massage, you don't need to wash it off. The hotel staff provides very good information before receiving the service. Every room is a private room with a bathtub with an Aminity kit. I recommend that it smells like coffee, fragrant on the skin. Drinking light coffee has a good aroma. The therapists are very good at squeezing the lines. Relaxing to the point of falling asleep. When you're done, come out and sit in the lobby area to welcome you and be served with warm tea. #wattosann

Great Hang Out Place in East Jakarta

I will not call this as Hidden Gem, since everyone mentions hidden gem a lot. but this is a nice place when you are bored with starbucks. Neos Corner (that's right, no apostrophe in Neos), is a simple coffee and eatery in Cilangkap area, East Jakarta. the place is very chic and comfortable. those who love taking pics must fall in love with this place. Located away from the hustle and bustle of the Metropolitan city, they provide great coffees, from simple Americano to V60. coffee was great, basically local beans roasted in various ways. Food, dont worry.. they provide simple finger foods, pastries, snacks to a variety of main course, including Fried Rice and Pasta. Those who love cilok, cireng or any other traditional indonesian snack, must try them here. Spacious venue, indoor is comfortable, huge outdoor space on the second floor, and comfy seating area near the parking space. parking area is very big also, no worry if you need to cater for function here. For me, this place is amazing, stopped by accidentally and found a great venue, both for business or pleasure. #cafe #eatery #eastjakarta #jakarta #neoscorner

Kokopi Omah Kopi

Are you taught how to brew coffee using the barista-style technique? here it is. Seriously, they allow us to mix up some menus (for us to buy, of course). Request to the barista. Quite an interesting experience outside of a homey place. Favorite menu? Andaliman Fried Rice, Captain, Flat White. Try again. Filling the afternoon coffee here with a fairly diverse selection of coffee concoctions and reasonable prices may be an option, but it's a bit long while waiting for the coffee friend's snack order, until the coffee runs out the snacks don't show up too, hopefully in the future it can be improved more good again. Although the place is narrow, the level of crowd is still under control. Only ever tried thai tea here. Taste vs price I think is appropriate. The employees are friendly too. They provide snacks too. There is wifi for those who want to work. #café #staycations #hoteldeals#summertrip#gourmetsummer#exhibition2021#swimmingpoolphotography

Hakuna Matata Jakarta

While playing in Jakarta yesterday, I went to this cafe to meet up with friends & work. The price is affordable and in accordance with the taste, the ambiance is good for hanging out or assignments. Cafe Industrial on the outskirts of Jakarta. From the outside, it's just normal, on the edge of a small residential road again. There is parking although it is limited. But as soon as you enter, the atmosphere of the cafe is calm but 'busy'. A playground and baby chair are provided which makes this cafe quite kid friendly. Downstairs there is an option for outdoor with iconic orange doors and tropical-style bamboo roofs. Upstairs there is a more intimate thematic sitting room with min. 3 people and minimum payment. The place is good, the design is aesthetic, the food is affordable, it's just too crowded when you go there on the weekend. #café #staycations #hoteldeals#summertrip#gourmetsummer#exhibition2021#swimmingpoolphotography

PULANG KERUMAH COFFE JAKARTA TIMUR

PULANG KERUMAH COFFE Jl. Kramat III No. 33, Crocodile Hole, Cipayung, East Jakarta Our discovery started when we were just looking for a fun spot to find in Lubang Buaya. A spot appeared that caught our interest, the name was @pulangkerumah.coffee and when I first went there, it really felt quite worth it. It feels true that there is a complete definition of a house with a backyard with trees and plants, rustic table benches that have been recycled. The inside is also presented with decorations with old Javanese nuances, there is also a roasting machine, several choices of single origins beans, and friendly residents who can become new acquaintances. While lightly enjoying the atmosphere on the outside, you can try their mainstay menu, Es Kopi Susu Going Home, manual brewing V60, or special tea if you really want more namaste. Snacks are fine, but their Sate Taichan can be a tough temptation for you to resist. Simple, warm, and populist. If I may, Spotimin describes this coffee shop like that, the baristas there who often appear quirky because there are always certain days they will use thematic costumes and the funny things that come out of it. Maybe, this one house can be a place for you to return to when you really need to calm down or find a new, more pleasant relationship. #café #coffeeshopjakartaselatan #foodieheaven #goodfoods #jakarta #jakartaguide #café #café#themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

KEDAI MALABAR ROTI & KOPI, JAKARTA

This is a must-visit shop because the food and drinks are really delicious, especially for the toast, which is super recommended, so far, I haven't seen anything better, because according to the owner, the bread actually has bread that was originally made only to be eaten at home, so that's why it's so special because it's made with the best ingredients, for lontong vegetables, soto betawi, etc. for sure this place is also instagramable, there are lots of spots for taking photos This malabar shop is quite trendy, the outside design is attractive combined with bright lights. The interior is also attractive and bright. There are non-smoking and smoking rooms (outdoor). The menu includes bread, vegetable lontong, dimsum, fried rice and the drinks are coffee and non-coffee. I ordered nougat meses bread and frozen macho coffee. There's a lot of nougat bread so if you're alone you should order a half portion, it tastes good. The taste of frozen coffee is standard and the portion is a little bit Children of Cipinang and its surroundings need to try this cafe. The design of this cafe is really classic. The size of the cafe is also not too big. This cafe is still quite empty of visitors in the afternoon. The food at this cafe is also delicious, the new spaghetti brulee menu is a must try. The parking lot is also quite spacious, right in front of the cafe. There are 2 entrances, from indoor and outdoor Suitable for hanging out and chatting with community friends and business relations.

Harper M.T Haryono

Love the charm of this hotel. Does not give you the routine chain hotel vibe at all. While I did not get there in time to eat at restaurant, have heard amazing reviews on the restaurant. The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting downtown Jakarta. I had a wonderful experience at the Harper M.T Haryono. Every staff member I encountered, from the valet to the check- in to the cleaning staff were delightful and eager to help! Thank you! Will recommend to my colleagues! #holidayhotel #hotel #hoteldeals #hotelcation #hotelexperience #hotelview #villa #villas #goodplace #choicehomestay #goodhotel #seasidephotoguide#beautifulhotel#hoteldeals #seasidephotoguide#beautifulhotel#hoteldeals

Coffee and Things Diary

This place is elegant with an awesome vibe. I went for breakfast and the food was amazing. The service was speedy and friendly. Their Pisang Goreng Nugget are absolutely incredible! This lone visit has made this one of my favorite spots within East Jakarta. Absolutely amazing! The place is beautiful and staff are super friendly and the food is delicious. I love that you get a lot of food as well for the price. It’s definitely not like other expensive restaurants and you only get a small amount of food. I am definitely going back. Amaazing food! The whole experience from start to finish is great waitress is always so friendly and kind. The food can’t get better and the prices are fair for the portion size. Always a great spot to get great food. #café #caffe #restaurant #restaurantweek #coffee #coffeeshop #coffeelover #gooddrinks #goodfoods #deliciousrestaurant #deliciousfood #delicious #romanticrestaurant#deserts

Teraskita Hotel Jakarta

This is the perfect hotel for a weekend getaway in Jakarta. The downtown area on Main Street is a best kept secret and the Teraskita Hotel offers everything you need if you don’t feel like venturing out. The staff was the nicest staff I have ever encountered at a hotel. They were always friendly and asked how our stay was going every time we walked in the door. They also were able to recommend places to get any type of meal that we needed as well. I have stayed at dozen of hotels in Jakarta. This was on the top of the list of best stays/experiences ever. Staff was very hospitable and there for every need of mine. Thank you so much. #holidayhotel #hotel #hoteldeals #hotelcation #hotelexperience #hotelreview #goodreview #choicehomestay#romanticrestaurant#infinitypool

Bencoolen Coffee

A great place with local Indonesian coffee. I visited Toko Buki Kenari on 3rd floor and found this little coffee corner names The Bencoolen, it’s in East Jakarta area. I tried one of their menu called “Ice Kopasus Keren”, it tastes very good! They sell many varieties of Indonesian coffee, not just in a cup, but you can also buy the grounded coffee or even the coffee beans that they have roasted, so you can make your own cup at the comfort of your home 🏠 The price is really affordable and the fact it’s located near the bookstore is great, because you can spend the time there after being tired walking around buying some books! 😋🥰☕️🌟 #coffeeshop #urbanexplorer

Aesthetic hidden coffee shop

Its name is Kolektiv Coffee, the coffeeshop which is more precisely in the Dewi Sartika area, East Jakarta, is located a bit inside the housing estate but not so far from the main road. Here they have 2 floors, for the coffeebar there is a downstairs with a minimalist concept, while the rooftop area itself may be a favorite spot for most people because the area is quite large and is really suitable for relaxing coffee in the afternoon. So for those of you who want to relax, or do work while enjoying the skyline of the city of Jakarta, it's really suitable because it's cozy and very homie. And what is certain is that the coffee and food menu choices here are worth trying, especially the Black Peach drink! ☕️🍑⛅️ #coffeeshop #urbanexplorer #outdoors

Yellow-themed coffee shop

This coffeeshop called Kokopi, in the Rawamangun, East Jakarta area is identical to the interior which is dominated by the color yellow 🌼🌼🌼 This is arguably one of the most suitable coffeeshops for you to hang out in East Jakarta. At first glance, the front looks small but when we enter, the place is quite spacious, because you could say this is a house that has been turned into a coffee shop. Almost the entire area is suitable for smoking and uniquely there is a kind of place like a mini theater with a synthetic grass mat for you to sit down on, but don't worry, for those of you who don't smoke, they have a closed room with air conditioning. One of the mainstays and makes it interesting from Koko.pi, here they provide many kinds of bean variants for manual brew from various roasters #coffeeshop #urbanexplorer #coffeelover

This hotel has a strategic location, a wide, tidy and comfortable room. It also has swimming pool which opens till 10pm. This hotel serves tasty food at the breakfast, with a very wide variety of cuisine both local traditional food, and western style cuisine such as salad, omelet, beef bacon, and variety of European bread. Uniquely, the traditional cuisines are often served by a dedicated person wearing traditional dress. #staycation #staycation#tripinspired

A very nice hotel to stay not far from Halim Perdanakusuma airport in Jakarta. I love that this hotel has a very big and long swimming pool and also they offer great variety of food for breakfast! The room itself is very spacious and it has sofas facing the TV. With a great rate, this place is a must stay especially if you have a flight from the nearest airport in here. #staycation #staycation#merryxmas

📍Martabak Favourite, Rawamangun My favorite Indonesian dessert for all time sake, Martabak! But this shop is a 100/100. This place is located right next to my house. I ordered half chocolate martabak and half cheese with butter. When i came, there weren’t so many people so i just needed to wait for like 15 mins. I asked for dine in while it was still hot. Holly Molly! Yeah seriously this place deserves a medal for the best martabak in town. They gave hella cheese and chocolate. The price wasn’t expensive at all with a great taste like this. SUPER WORTH IT. ps: always order here everytime i come home. #givethanks #deliciousfood #dessert #givethanks

📍Kedai Locale, Rawamangun, Jakarta Timur Kedai in indonesian means shop. So this shop sells ‘local’ food. These pictures down there were my first time coming to this place. It’s so close from my house. I ordered caramelized fried tapai (fermented rice) (last picture) oooooh, this was so delicious! Rawon rice (5&6 pict)—rawon rice is a traditional food from east Java (if im not mistaken). Usually you use beef, boiled egg, bean sprouts, indonesian chili and put them inside a black soup. I basically like this food a lot too and this place made it really nice. the beef was so tender. Fried potatoes, this not the same as ‘french fries’. they cut the potatoes thin. it’s not that crunchy also not that soft. just perfect Iced coffee durian, sounds weird but actually this was a brilliant idea! i personally don’t like durian but i gave it a try a little bit, and it’s acceptable. Iced lychee tea, they blend the tea with ice and put lychee syrup. also they put some real lychee. recommended! gave this place 5/5 for food and service! #givethanks #deliciousfood #givethanks

📍Hegemony Coffee, Rawamangun, East Jakarta (now called HOI Coffee) When i came here, this place legit just opened for several days. This place isn’t that big and so cozy. I loved the ambience here. My friend loved black coffee and he said the black coffee here was super good and would definitely come back. I recommend their food: chicken tacos and their mac ‘n cheese. The tacos were good to be honest. i mean at that time i hadn’t had a real tacos so i could say those tacos were good. I loveeee their service. The owner was so nice. He cane to our table and asked if the coffee was fine. if it wasn’t good he could change it. super nice! #givethanks #coffeeshop #givethanks

📍Quiznos Sub, Rawamangun, East Jakarta Quiznos Sub is a sandwich restaurant. they got so many choices of sandwich. you basically need to choose what kind of bread you want, what kind of toppings, and sauce. My favorite is oat bread with tuna melt topping plus some veggies. also the fries there are my favorite.

scope for improvment

A cafe is more like kopitiam, few table of customers is talking and laughing super loud like own home. First time try double cheese bagel which is nice. Tiramisu cake personally felt it was too big a piece and middle part cheese we just left over. Not recommend. Unfortunately, this was the first time I did not finish my hot latte. Espresso seems too thick for latte. And water is not serve you have to purchase mineral water only. Its a cafe with nice staff. Very humble and warm people. But the food can do better with some changes. #indonesiatrip #jakarta
