Discover Sudo Brew, a bright and spacious hidden gem in JGC, perfect for your next work-from-cafe session. This spot is a dream for remote workers, offering an incredible number of power outlets and a comfortable atmosphere. Enjoy surprisingly delicious food, from creamy pasta to innovative onigiri snacks. While the quality is high, be prepared for premium prices. It's an ideal place to be productive or chill with friends, but it’s definitely not for those on a tight budget.
Every time I pass by East Jakarta (JGC), I always feel like it's a coffee desert, with either chain stores or small, uncomfortable shops. I never expected that right next to AEON, there would be such a hidden gem like Sudo Brew! Anjay, I almost missed it.
The vibe is totally different as soon as you walk in. Huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows let the sunlight pour right in, making the whole space clean and bright[1]. There are plenty of seating options, too. Whether you want to work on your laptop alone or meet up with a few friends to Nongkrong, you can find a comfy corner. Plus, the staff are all super friendly. Their smiles are so sweet, it just brightens up your day[2].
The food and drinks also did not disappoint at all. As a coffee lover, I started with their signature coffee. It's creamy and rich, and you can adjust the sweetness yourself. Mantap[3]! The main point is, their main courses are surprisingly legit. The Pasta Carbonara[4] I ordered was super creamy, the pasta was al dente, and it could totally compete with a dedicated Western restaurant. I also tried a snack called Onigiri Egg Mentai[5]. It's like a flaky pastry with a mentaiko egg filling, and the buttery aroma is explosive. I give this innovation a perfect score! My friend also praised their Croissant[6] as being"classy" quality.
Okay, enough with the praise, time for some real talk. To be fair, the prices here are not cheap; it's a bit pricey[7]. Just ordering a drink and a main course will make a dent in your wallet, so friends on a budget, be warned. There are also a few minor complaints: Although there's a smoking area, sometimes the smell of smoke drifts into the non-smoking section[8], which might be uncomfortable for people sensitive to smells. Also, they use disposable cups even for dine-in, which isn't very environmentally friendly. I hope the owner can improve on this.
A Guide to Dodging Pitfalls & Chilling
