Tanamera at Plaza Indonesia might have a steep 65k price tag and a self-service model, but the coffee is undeniably top-tier. Discover why its national-level Indonesian single-origin beans and unique creations like the Mint Latte are worth the splurge. This spot is a high-quality "fueling station" for a quick, delicious caffeine boost, not a cozy café to linger in. It's perfect for those who prioritize an exceptional cup of coffee on the go.
Just had a coffee downstairs at Plaza Indonesia, and after paying and getting the receipt, I was stunned… One drink, including tax and service fee, was almost 65k Indonesian Rupiah[1]. The thing is, I queued up myself and picked up my own order, so charging a service fee feels a bit like a mystery! 🤷♀️
I was all ready to go into full-on complaint mode, but to be fair, after the first sip, I thought... okay, the money wasn't a total waste. As expected from Indonesia's national-level coffee roasting brand, the quality of their Indonesian single-origin coffee[2] is truly impeccable. The flavor is always consistent. In one word: Mantap! 👍 The barista was also super pro. When I asked about the beans' origin and flavor profile, he answered fluently. If he sees you know your stuff, he'll even chat with you a bit more[3].
This time, I also tried the Mint Latte[4] my friend ordered. I thought it would be some weird concoction, but the mint and coffee flavors blended perfectly. It wasn't jarring at all, I was pleasantly surprised. Pair it with a croissant[5] to fill your stomach, and you've got the perfect meal to keep a corporate slave going.
But, I'd advise you not to sit here for long!
The coffee is genuinely amazing, but the ambiance... well, it leaves much to be desired. Friends who want to comfortably Nongkrong here for a while can basically forget about it. The outdoor seating is super hot, and the inside isn't exactly cool either, it's a bit stuffy[6]. I feel like this place was designed for nearby office workers and shoppers to just grab and go. It's a high-quality"fueling station," not a place for you to Chill for an afternoon.
Tips from the Heart
- For coffee enthusiasts: Don't hesitate, go straight for their single-origin beans[7]. Buying them to make your own pour-over at home is definitely worth it! You can ask the barista to customize it to your taste, like adding an extra shot or something[8].
- For the average office worker: Takeaway! Takeaway! Takeaway! Important things must be said three times. Treat it as a place for a quick caffeine fix. The quality blows the chain brands next door out of the water, but don't have high expectations for the environment.
- About the price: Be prepared, it's at least 60k per person[9]. Your wallet might hurt a little, but your taste buds will be happy. Anjay
- 65k IDR [1] (incl. tax/svc) for a coffee, but their soul-stirring Indonesian single-origin coffee [2] is pure Anjay bliss. So worth it!
- Mint latte [3]? Mind-blowing! Mint and coffee blend seamlessly, a delightful, unexpected taste.
- Super Pro baristas [4]! They'll chat bean flavors and customize your coffee [5] for your picky palate.
