Every time I'm in Palembang for a business trip, finding a cafe where I can quietly get some work done, with plenty of power outlets and hassle-free parking, feels like a mystical quest... 🙄 Until a lokal friend insisted I check out this place, Blackshot Space, and I'm declaring it now, this will be my mobile office in Palembang from now on!
The Vibe is Perfect, Writing Inspiration Overflows
The moment I walked in, I was captivated by the atmosphere. It's not one of those noisy, trendy internet-famous spots; the whole space is very cozy and quiet, and the background music is subtle, as if it's afraid of disturbing you[1]. The indoor space isn't huge, probably fitting about 20 people, but everyone is immersed in their own world, making the sound of keyboards typing seem especially pleasant. This vibe is just right!
This place isn't just a cafe; it's more like a creative community. The walls are covered with posters for various events, like painting workshops, book sharing sessions, and even DJ Nights on weekends[2]—so cool. The brand's philosophy, #fuelyourambition, isn't just for show[3]; you can really feel an energy of chasing dreams here.
Not Just Great Coffee, The Snacks Are So Good You'll Want Them Glued to Your Mouth
I didn't have high hopes for the food at a WFC-friendly spot, but I was totally proven wrong!
For drinks, I randomly ordered the Ovaltine Macchiato[4], Anjay! The balance between the chocolate and coffee is perfect! It's not sickeningly sweet or overly bitter at all. Even friends who don't usually drink coffee will absolutely love it!
For snacks, you have to try their Donat Kentang (potato donuts)[5]. The outside is crispy while the inside is soft, the sweetness is just right, and I polished off two of them effortlessly. Among the main dishes, the Salted Egg series is also really mantap[6]. It has a creamy texture but isn't heavy at all, and it's perfect with rice!
Just a little whisper...
Of course, no place is perfect. The only thing I'd complain about is that, while it's very thoughtful of them to have an open prayer room, the shared prayer equipment looks a bit... emmm, you know what I mean. I'd suggest bringing your own for hygiene reasons, haha[7].
