Night owls, take note! A massive 24/7 cafe has landed in East Jakarta, offering a non-stop social scene. This huge three-story venue, featuring a rooftop, becomes a vibrant livehouse after 9 PM with nightly bands. It's the perfect spot for a lively "Nongkrong" session with friends until dawn. While the energetic atmosphere is the main attraction, the Spaghetti Aglio e Olio is a surprisingly tasty find. Come for the nightlife, not a quiet evening.
Anjay! There's actually a massive cafe hidden in East Jakarta, and it's open 24/7! Arrived around 9 PM on a weekend, and the entrance was already like a concert, packed with people[1]. I almost thought I was in the wrong place, this place is way too popular!
This place is ridiculously huge, with indoor, outdoor, and a rooftop—three floors for you to Nongkrong wherever you like. We headed straight for the rooftop, enjoying the evening breeze while watching the traffic below. The vibe was absolutely perfect. It was surrounded by young lokal Indonesians, all noisy and full of social energy. Looking for a quiet place to read? I'd advise against coming here 😂.
When we ordered, the staff recommended their signature Kopi Macchiato[2]. The taste... to be honest, it was just okay. What surprised me, though, was the main course. The Spaghetti Aglio e Olio[3] was actually quite good, very garlicky, and the pasta was al dente. Just after 9 PM, the live band started playing[4], and the atmosphere instantly became Mantap! I feel like this is the main attraction of the place!
But to be fair, I have to point out the downsides. The drinks here are generally on the sweet side; my coffee was sickeningly sweet[5]. For my friends who don't like sweet things, make sure to say 'kurang manis' beforehand! The service is also hit-or-miss. Our table was fine, but we saw the table next to us get an unresponsive waiter[6]. Also, some of the tables were wobbly[7], which was a bit triggering for my OCD.
Key Points! A hassle-free guide for you:
Overall, this place is more of a social space disguised as a cafe. Don't have high expectations for the food and drinks, but if you're looking for a place to Nongkrong with friends until dawn and experience the nightlife of Jakarta's youth, then this is the right place for you
- Payment Methods: They only accept electronic payments, so don't bring a pile of cash, you'll thank me later[8].
- Parking: For those brave enough to drive, be warned, parking spots are very limited, and finding one during peak hours is basically up to fate[9]. Coming by motorcycle is the most convenient.
- Best Time to Visit: If you want to experience the lively atmosphere and Live Music, come after 9 PM. Want to find a seat to work? You'd better try your luck during the day.
- Ordering Tip: If you don't like sweet drinks, tell the staff 'Less Sugar' or 'Gula sedikit'! Personally tested and it works.
- East Jakarta's giant 24-hour non-stop cafe. By 9 PM on weekends, it's concert-level packed [1]!
- Rooftop for breezes, traffic flow views. This 3-story social energy field plunges you into Jakarta's youth nightlife, vibe 💯!
- After 9 PM, live band starts [2], vibe instantly Mantap! This is Jakarta's real nightlife!
