Attention West Jakarta students! Discover your new favorite hangout, an affordable livehouse eatery perfect for both studying and socializing. This spot boasts a chill vibe, unique graffiti art, and super-friendly staff. Enjoy budget-friendly local specialties like Nasi Delia and Es Kopi Susu Malam. At night, the atmosphere gets even better with live music and sports on the big screen. It’s the ideal place to unwind with friends without breaking the bank.
Every time I want to find a place to Nongkrong with my friends, it's either too expensive or too noisy. And if I want to quietly work on my deadlines, cafes feel too stuffy... Anjay, it's such a headache. 🙄
But the other day, I dug up this amazing spot in West Jakarta that solves all these problems!
Vibe and Taste, Both On Point
The vibe was right as soon as I walked in. It's not like one of those lifeless study halls; it's full of young people talking and laughing, and the air is just filled with a chill vibe. They even have live music at night[1], and you can pay to request songs, making the atmosphere instantly Mantap! There's also some unique graffiti art on the walls[2], not the generic, cookie-cutter influencer style—it really has its own attitude.
When I saw the prices while ordering, they're super student-friendly[3]! I tried their signature Es Kopi Susu Malam[4], a lokal specialty iced milk coffee, and the taste was authentic. For the main course, we went for the Nasi Delia[5], and I didn't expect a cafe to serve such delicious food—it wasn't half-assed at all!
Let's Get Real (A Few Small Gripes)
Gotta be honest though, I felt like my coffee had a bit too much ice[6]; it was gone in just a few sips. Next time I'll have to tell the barista,"esnya dikit aja" (less ice). Also, parking. The front area is basically territory for motorcycles, so friends who drive might have to look for a spot a little further out[7].
Pro Tips (Quick, take out your notebooks and jot this down📝)
- For sports fans: The place has a big screen for showing games[8], but the view from some seats is obstructed[9], so if you want to watch the game, remember to snag the throne right in front of the screen!
- For motorcycle riders: This is your happy place; there are plenty of parking spots.
- For the socially anxious / introverts: Even though there's live music at night, the overall vibe is still chill. You can find a corner, put on your headphones, and instantly get into study mode—personally tested and approved.
- Amazing service: I have to give them a shout-out! The staff are all super nice and enthusiastic[10], greeting you with a smile the moment you walk in, making the experience top-notch
- Evenings offer live music and a Mantap vibe, with unique graffiti[1] – not influencer-chic, just instantly chill![2]
- Grab signature Es Kopi Susu Malam and unexpectedly tasty Nasi Delia[3] at student-friendly prices![4]
- Staff are super nice and enthusiastic[5], greeting you with smiles for a great visit!
