Discover the hype behind Bintaro's viral NOB Coffee. This spot boasts a stunning, photogenic interior perfect for your feed, and standout dishes like rich Turkish Eggs and buttery pastries. But be warned: the weekend crowds and noise can be a dealbreaker. This guide gives you the essential tips on how to navigate this popular cafe, from the best times to visit to what to expect, ensuring a great experience without the chaos.
Girls, take my advice! If you're looking for a quiet place to Nongkrong, definitely don't come to this NOB Coffee in Bintaro on the weekend! It's explosively crowded on weekends[1], I felt like I wasn't there to drink coffee, but to attend some kind of indoor music festival, you basically have to shout to be heard🗣️.
BUT! If you're coming for the photo ops and the delicious food, then that's a different story. The shop has a huge space, amazing natural light, and the decor is that modern style that's super photogenic. Any random shot looks like a magazine spread. As for the food, I really have to rave about their pastries! Croissants & Pastries[2] are a must-try, no questions asked, so flaky they fall apart, full of buttery aroma, Mantap! For my main, I ordered the Turkish Eggs[3] that everyone's been hyping up, and honestly, they're something else. The silky poached eggs, rich beef sauce, and yogurt sauce served with naan bread create such a rich texture, one bite is super satisfying.
Alright, enough with the praise, time for some real talk. The biggest downside of this place is that it's way too noisy[4], making it basically impossible to have a proper chat with friends. The service is also... hard to describe. When it's crowded, the staff is completely overwhelmed, and you have to wait forever just to order or find someone[5]. Also, the prices are on the high side; the average cost per person for a casual meal and drink easily goes up to 150-200k Rupiah[6]. The value for money isn't particularly high, so your wallet might hurt a little.
Editor's Guide to Avoiding the Pitfalls
So, I've put together some real-talk tips for you. Girls who want to go, save this now!
- Key takeaway: If you can go on a weekday, don't go on a weekend! For a better experience, you must go during off-peak hours.
- Not suitable for: Those who can't stand noise, or want a quiet place to work or have a conversation. You can just skip this one.
- Ordering tip: Some brunch menu items are only available after 11 AM[7], so you might not get them if you go too early. It's best to ask the staff first.
- What to wear: The AC inside is cranked up and it's freezing, like an icehouse. Girls who get cold easily, remember to bring a light jacket[8].
- Friendly reminder: There is no prayer room (Mushola) in the shop[9]. Friends who need one should plan accordingly.
- With its modern decor and killer light, NOB Coffee is a goldmine for magazine-worthy shots. Your next photo op spot [1].
