I WAS IMMEDIATELY IMPRESSED BECAUSE THE BUILDING WAS SO BEAUTIFULLY ELEGANT AND LARGE

Originally I wanted to stop by there, but when I passed by and saw it, I was immediately impressed because the building was so beautifully elegant and large. I was sure that whenever I passed by, I couldn't help but turn my head. But from the outside, I knew the type of place it was, and honestly, it's not my kind of place. I went back because the first time I wanted to visit, I thought it wasn't open yet. When I returned, it still wasn't open, and even calling didn't connect at all. I was going back and forth about whether to visit or not, and after checking the menu, I finally decided to go in. Upon entering, my initial impression of this place was correct it was a bit intimidating for me but the staff were friendly, so I felt very welcomed. I ordered a mocktail, "Maracuya Smash," which contains passion fruit and torch ginger I automatically ordered it. In terms of taste, the passion fruit was dominantly tangy, but the torch ginger was still noticeable albeit subtle. I ordered one of the dessert menus, asking first if it contained alcohol, in which case I would skip it. Finally, I ordered the "Hidden Paradise," which includes torched cheesecake, lemon sorbet, peach, jelly, and some crunchy elements I don't know the name of, along with a garnish shaped like an owl. Overall, it was delicious; the cheesecake wasn't too heavy, and the lemon sorbet was very refreshing. Initially, it was poured with some brandy to melt the cotton candy, which I wasn't informed about because it had a slight bitterness. The ambiance was cool and quite cozy, actually, suitable for gatherings but with a desire for a quiet and intimate setting it's quite suitable. However, I don't know the actual atmosphere because I came during the day, and only my table was occupied, so I haven't seen how busy it gets. #coffee #coffeeshop #coffeelover #coffeehouse #coffeetime #coffeetourism #trip

Seoul Bakeshop

#indonesiatrip Love the ambience here, but the seat is quite limited as there are only 4 tables. I tried peach croissant and strawberry tea which is so refreshing. The staffs are friendly and the internet is fast so it will be one of the option for work from cafe to work. Also the receipt for my current purchase can be use for the discount for my next purchase. Will come here again to try another menu

GAISE |COFFEE BRUNCH & BISTRO

Here's a new spot, guys! The place is fantastic, with an eye-catching front store. It's located in PIK 2, near Batavia behind Pantjoran PIK. The restaurant is called GAISE. It has two floors with both indoor and semi-outdoor seating, and no matter where you sit, you're guaranteed to feel comfortable! The menu here is extensive, ranging from appetizers to desserts. You definitely need to try the food because it's that delicious! I tried the truffle mushroom soup, eggs benedict, and aburi shoyu salmon pasta, and they all scored above 8—totally approved. For drinks, I recommend trying their coffee mocktail; I particularly liked the black orange 😋. As for dessert, many people love the French toast with berry compote. The price is worth it considering the taste, ambiance, and service 👌. Highly recommend this place, especially now during the soft opening since, as far as I know, there are still discounts available. #songkran2024 #mytravelhacks #cherryblossom2024 #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #trip #instatravel #goodfoods #coffee #coffeeshop

COFFEE HOUSE PAPOWI | RECOMMENDATION FOR A COFFEE STOP IN PIK

With so many coffee shops and cafes in PIK, you might be wondering where to stop by. Here's a recommendation for a comfortable spot in PIK 2. It's called rumah kopi papowi, which has two floors for dining in. Both floors are fully air-conditioned indoor spaces, but there's also a semi-outdoor smoking area. The theme is quite homey, making it a cozy place to stay 😍. The place is suitable for anything—whether you want to have some me-time, work from café, enjoy family time with kids, or hang out with friends 🤗. As for the menu, since it was really hot, I tried two drinks. You should definitely try their signature coffee called Ice Shaken Doppio. It's delicious—the coffee flavor is still strong even though it's creamy and sweet. The other drink I tried was Sour Peach Tea, which was also tasty and refreshing, though a bit too sweet for me. They don't just serve drinks; there are many food options too, and surprisingly, they're also delicious. I tried their favorite dish called Nasi Goreng Sapi Cabe Ijo (Green Chili Beef Fried Rice). It's really good, but I don't recommend it if you can't handle spicy food. #songkran2024 #mytravelhacks #cherryblossom2024 #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #trip #instatravel #goodfoods #coffee #coffeeshop

ROETARA | COFFEE & EATERY

As its name suggests, roetara coffee or Northern Space is a newly emerged coffee shop that appeared in January last month in the Warakas area. Its location next to the main road and the white wall with the name of the place written on it makes it easy to find. For information, along Warakas Raya street can be considered as the "coffee center" for the Priok area, so there are quite a few coffee shops there. For us, this spot is more suitable for hanging out with friends rather than opening a laptop to work. There is an outdoor space below that seems to be quite popular with its customers, and an indoor space upstairs that seems to regularly host live music. Both indoor and outdoor areas can be considered spacious. Their coffee menu ranges from manual brew, espresso-based, to various iced coffee variants. Non-coffee options are also diverse, served in plastic cups. With a variety of snacks and heavy meals available, Roetara Coffee & Eatery is complete so you can hang out without worrying about getting hungry. According to Spotimin, the motorcycle parking there is quite narrow although available, but it might still be 'workable'. While if you bring a four-wheeler, it seems like parking will be tight by the roadside, considering the road there is not very wide and quite crowded, so we don't recommend it. The plus point is that you can find a prayer room on their second floor. #songkran2024 #mytravelhacks #cherryblossom2024 #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #trip #instatravel #goodfoods

Apartment/ hotel concept at Oakwood PIK

#vianasjourney #awesomepic It’s one of fancy kind of apartment which consist of few extra facilities such as KTV room, Chapel and yoga room. I was able to orderroom service with reasonable price and decent breakfast was provided (complimentary) in the morning. Room was small, enough for a person but consist of 7kg washing machine, small to medium size fridge, microwave and induction cooker and a table top for cooking and sink for cleaning. Bed was comfortable but I couldn’t find a suis for the lights above my bed so couldn’t sleep that well. I would say that it was a pleasant stay here. Oh and extra point, they do provide free shuttle to few locations, I’ve included a picture of it as well.

Workcation @ PIK

#myperfectstaycation not just having a good vibe but also cozy atmosphere to relax while on duty where workloads are a lot and pressure is so high. This hotel provide comfort and relaxing place to rest my tired mind and body. I can see swimming pool from my room window. Room not too crumpled, not too small, just nice and cosy. Although I have to wait for quite long to enter the room, but check in was smooth. Lift is very slow though! Have to be patient. It is connected with PIK avenue, so you don't need to worry about food or daily necessities. #staycation #myperfectstayca #jakarta

short trip to PIK

Getting There - A friend brought us here. But uou can reach this place by using ehailing service like Grab or Gojek. Attractions - Lots of restaurant, cafe and mini shops. One of the restaurant that I went is Sushi Hiro which is very nice. The price is reasonable and the ambience is quite good. The staff service very friendly. I also noticed other than restaurant and cafe , there is clothing store especially for women. A local brand but good quality. I do recommend this place to those who wants to get out a little bit from the hustle bustle of Jakarta City.

Metropole Foodcourt to eat Indonesian foods

Metropole Foodcourt is located at Metropole complex together with Metropole XXI. No wonder this place always crowded as many people come for food before or after watching movie. The food court is spacious- divided into indoor and semi outdoor facilities with the outdoor wall made from bamboo. It makes cool ambience. The foods here are all Indonesian dishes such as grilled chicken with Indonesian soy sauce, empek-empek (fried dishes made from blended fish and flour), mutton satay, and rujak buah (chop fruits with peanut sauce) as a dessert. #food #indonesianfood #restaurant #traditionalfood #dessert

The newest branch of Celestial Coffee, still in the Kelapa Gading area, precisely on Jl. Summagung II, just go straight on the left side of the road. The place is cute, not too big but. There are indoor and outdoor. The menu has coffee and non-coffee. Food also has pastry, pasta, grilled rice and several sweet tooth variants. I've been here 2 times, the first time the outdoor was not ready, the second time, the indoor was a bit different. Try a coffee mocktail, it's delicious and fresh too, the coffee is quite strong. There are also given to try tape, pineapple and creamer, delicious, not too tape and the pineapple is also quite balanced. It's also not too sweet. You can try their non-coffee mocktail, which is called Starlight (earl gray + orange) and it's really fresh, it's not too sweet, it's a shame the glass isn't big enough. If you come here, you have to order the green cake, I came twice to order, the first time there was no ice cream, and the second time there was an ice cream cone. #cafe

Roast Coffee

Even though it's hidden, it's really crowded! ️ This time, playing around in the central area, guys, around Gajah Mada and Cideng the place is hidden, this is in a shophouse, but it's really at the very end of the back. But the strange thing is that even though it's hidden, it's really crowded! Those who come from among people know until young people are hits. The theme of the place is like a warehouse building, so it's on the riverside, so the outdoor part is next to the river and it's very spacious. The indoor section is also spacious, the seating capacity also fits a lot.

Pick Me Up Coffee

Did you know that PICK-ME-UP Coffee, which used to be at Ruko Elang Laut, is now open again. Now open at Ruko Camar behind Indomobil. So you have to go inside, like there is a high fence and security, like you want to enter housing. There's already a point in Gmaps. I came here to order curly noodles, because I was hungry so I only snapped once 😂 the texture of the noodles is okay, the taste is also not adventurous, the chicken is soft. But, for me the portion is not much and there is no gravy. If I drink, I order iced calamansi osmanthus tea. It's fresh and the sweetness is just right. I like the ambiance itself and the staff is also friendly. You can also order through Gofood and Grabfood. . . PICK-ME-UP Coffee Ruko Camar, Camar Indah, Block DF No. 8, Jl. Pantai Indah Kapuk No. 8, Kamal Muara, North Jakarta Mon - Sat (08:00 - 18:00) Closed on Sunday #cafe
