#indonesiatrip St. Ali in Jakarta’s Setiabudi area brings a touch of Melbourne’s renowned coffee culture to the city. This cafe is celebrated for its high-quality brews and a menu that features both classic and innovative dishes. The semi-open design offers a relaxed, airy atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a leisurely brunch or a quick coffee break. While the prices are on the higher side, the exceptional coffee and friendly service make it worth the visit. Whether you’re a coffee aficionado or just looking for a cozy spot to unwind, St. Ali provides a delightful experience.

For starters, I liked that they didn't rush me even I sat with a cup of flat white for over two hours before the almond croissant occurred to me. Then again for a weekday afternoon, there weren't enough people. The place looked open and spacious from the design sense with high ceilings. I was told of it having a menu that would resemble cafe's in melbourne. While I think there is a long way to go but this is a decent attempt. There are Indonesian options and tastes adjusted to suit the local mouth. The almond croissant by Indonesian standards was quite nice. I was here to work and was quietly able to conduct that. I think it's a nice and quiet place to get some snacks and coffee and to chit chat. #indonesiatrip #jakarta #cafes #coffeelovers #summerdestinations #mytravelhacks
