Discover a hidden gem for Jakarta's digital nomads! Tucked away inside a Kuningan apartment building, this minimalist cafe is an urban oasis perfect for working. It boasts fast Wi-Fi, a serene atmosphere, and daily rotating single-origin Indonesian beans for coffee lovers. Not a coffee drinker? Try the top-tier matcha latte. For a unique treat, don't miss the Avogato dessert. It’s the ideal WFA spot for a productive weekday, but be prepared for higher prices.
Following the GPS, we twisted and turned through Kuningan, driving into an alley so narrow it made me question life... If I hadn't seen a parking lot inside, I would've sworn the driver took a wrong turn. Anjay! Who would've thought that one of Jakarta's most acclaimed coffee shops is actually hidden inside a high-end apartment building, without even a sign![1]
The first-floor space isn't huge, but the minimalist industrial style, paired with large floor-to-ceiling windows and greenery, gives it a total urban oasis vibe, very Chill[2]. With the sunlight streaming in, it's perfect for a quiet Nongkrong session or getting some work done on your laptop. For a coffee head like me, this place is heaven. They change their beans daily, and they're all Lokal single-origin beans from Indonesia[3]. The one I had today was from Flores, and the flavor... Mantap! My friend's matcha latte is said to be one of the top-tier ones in Jakarta[4], made with oat milk, it's super silky smooth. Oh, and for dessert, you have to try the Avogato[5]—avocado ice cream with a shot of espresso. Whoever invented this divine combination is a genius!
But I gotta be honest, their prices are on the higher side for Jakarta's coffee scene, and the latte cups are seriously mini[6]—I feel like it's gone in two sips, haha. Also, if you're a smoker and want to go to the second floor, be prepared. It's stuffy and hot upstairs, the experience is a far cry from the first floor, and it seems there's a minimum charge requirement[7].
Editor's Key Takeaways (Get your notebooks ready 📝)
- Who is it for?: Serious coffee lovers and digital nomads looking for a quiet place to WFA (Work from Anywhere). The Wi-Fi is super fast, and they provide free water, making the work experience top-notch[8].
- How to get there?: If you're driving, you can search directly for"Suites at Seven" apartments. Don't be scared by the narrow road; there's plenty of parking inside[9]. You'll definitely be confused on your first visit because it's truly hidden inside the apartment building.
- When to go?: Go on a weekday! It gets crazy crowded on weekends, there are very few seats, and getting a good spot on the first floor is basically a battle[10].
