In a small place like Tanjung Pinang, finding a cafe with good aesthetics and decent coffee is really a matter of luck.
I found this place, JANTUNG HATI, just by scrolling through Google Maps. The rating was ridiculously high—nearly 200 reviews and it had a 4.9[1]. But when I saw the address was on an unremarkable little road (Jl. Wonosari), I started to have my doubts. I wondered if the reviews were fake. When I was navigating there, I almost drove right past it; the entrance is so low-key, it looks like a private house.
But as soon as I walked in, Anjay! I felt like I'd discovered a new world. It's a completely different vibe from most of the traditional warung kopi on the island. The whole space is very well-designed, with a bit of an industrial yet retro feel. Every corner is super photogenic—it's totally what young people are into[2].
I ordered their signature coffee, the Wonosari[3], and the blend of coffee and milk was really well done. It wasn't that overly sweet, flashy kind of drink; you could actually taste the aroma of the coffee beans themselves. I wasn't expecting much from the food at a coffee shop, but the Nasi Ayam Pok Pok[4] turned out to be surprisingly delicious! The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the portion size was generous. It was well worth the money.
To be honest, before coming, I was worried it would be another one of those Instagrammable-but-disappointing cafes. But from the coffee to the food, nothing was a letdown. Especially considering the taste and portion size, the price is really Mantap—definitely great value for money. No wonder the locals give it high ratings. It's a fantastic coffee shop[5].
As usual, here are the key points for you:
- Who is it for? If you're looking for a place to Nongkrong and chat with friends for an afternoon, or if you're a couple on a date looking for a quiet and charming spot, this is the right place.
- What to order? Coffee lovers, go straight for the Wonosari. If you're hungry, don't hesitate—order the Nasi Ayam Pok Pok[6]. Trust me, you won't regret it.
- Photo spots? The seats by the window have the best lighting and a clean background. Many of the little corners in the cafe are decorated with great care, so any casual shot will turn out great.
- In a nutshell? This is definitely a hidden gem I found in Tanjung Pinang. I'll be back for sure on my next visit.
- Great balance on the Wonosari coffee. You taste the actual bean aroma, not just sickly sweet syrup.
- Didn't expect much, but the Nasi Ayam Pok Pok is surprisingly good! Crispy outside, tender inside, and a huge portion [1].
- The space has a cool industrial-retro vibe. Every corner is an Instagrammable spot, perfect for the younger crowd [2].
