Jakarta workers, your new WFC haven has arrived! TERU, a Japanese cafe in the South, offers a bright and spacious environment perfect for productivity. Enjoy ample power outlets, speedy Wi-Fi, and a special coffee discount on Mondays when you bring your laptop. While the menu features Japanese fusion dishes, the real draw is the work-friendly vibe. This article breaks down all the must-knows, from the best times to visit to what to order for the ultimate productive day.
Lately, finding a place to"work" has been a real headache. Either it's too noisy, or there are no power outlets, or the coffee is so bad you want to curse. Anjay! Until I wandered into this Japanese cafe in the South area called TERU, I feel like I've finally struck gold!
WFC Paradise, the Vibe is Mantap!
The moment I walked in, I was soothed by the vast expanse of natural wood colors and the super high ceilings. Sunlight streams in through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, making the whole space bright and comfortable, not at all like those dark little shops. [1] Most importantly, this place is practically tailor-made for working from cafe (WFC). Almost every seat has a power outlet, and the internet speed is super fast. The best part is, if you bring your laptop on a Monday, you get a discount on coffee! [2] The owner really gets us workers ❤️.
I ordered a Matcha Latte[3], and the matcha flavor was strong enough. While the texture wasn't super silky smooth, it was satisfying enough for a matcha lover like me. For my main course, I got the very popular Salmon Mentai Don[4]—salmon with mentaiko sauce. It tasted good, a safe choice that's hard to get wrong. The Chicken Katsu Curry at the next table looked even more fragrant; that chicken cutlet was ridiculously thick. I have to try it next time!
Let's be real...
But, to be fair, don't have overly high expectations for the food. The food here is Japanese fusion, better for trying something new. If you're a connoisseur looking for authentic Japanese cuisine, you might find it a bit"wannabe"[5]. Also, their signature Honey Toast[6], while it looks amazing, I've heard that it can sometimes be served burnt on the outside and cold on the inside, so it feels like the quality isn't very consistent. Ordering it is a bit of a gamble. The prices are mid-to-high range, around 150k-250k Rupiah per person, which is acceptable considering the ambiance.
Tips to Avoid Pitfalls / TL;DR Guide
Finally, here are the key points for my girls!
- Time: If you want a quiet place to work, definitely come on a weekday! It gets explosively crowded on weekends and will be very noisy. It's fine for nongkrong, but forget about getting any work done. [7]
- Transportation: Parking spots are extremely limited, and the road outside is narrow. I recommend just taking a Gojek or using their valet service. [8]
- Seating: If you want more quiet, sit on the second floor. The view is great from there too.
- Facilities: They have a Musholla (prayer room) here, which is super convenient for friends who need to stay for a long time. Major props for that! [9]
- WFC heaven! Outlets, blazing Wi-Fi, Monday discount for laptop users. Boss gets it! [1]
- Instantly healed by natural wood, high ceilings, and sun-drenched brightness. So comfy, you'll stay all day! [2]
- Don't miss the exaggeratedly thick Chicken Katsu Curry! Next table's drool-worthy aroma – next time, it's mine!
