Discover a cozy cafe in Jakarta's Pluit, a perfect spot for your next work-from-cafe session. It boasts ample power outlets, fast WiFi, and a must-try Creme Brulee Coffee with a crackable sugar top. The main attraction is the viral Capybara Pudding, but be warned: this super-cute dessert is only available on Saturdays and sells out fast! This homey spot is ideal for both productivity and treating yourself, though you might need headphones during peak hours.
The competition among Jakarta cafes is truly anjay… I thought this little spot in Pluit, hidden in a residential area, would give me some peace and quiet, but on a weekend night, I almost couldn't find a place to sit[1]. From the outside, it looks like just an ordinary corner shop, but inside it was packed with people working on their laptops, and the atmosphere was bustling.
The whole space has a very warm, homey style, simple and comfortable, which really makes you want to linger and not leave. The barista was also super friendly[2] and answered all my questions.
I came for their super popular signature Creme Brulee Coffee[3]. You crack the crispy layer of caramelized sugar on top with a small spoon, and the coffee underneath is sweet but not cloying. The flavor is perfectly balanced, not too acidic[4], this cup is truly Mantap!
The desserts are the main event! I originally wanted to order the viral Capybara Pudding[5], but was told it's only available on Saturdays, and it's basically sold out if you go late… I guess it just wasn't meant to be. 🥲 As a second choice, I ordered a Portuguese egg tart and asked the staff to heat it up. The crust was crispy and the filling was piping hot, which kind of made up for the disappointment of missing out on the capybara.
Let's be real...
But to be honest, this place has its bugs.
First, the prices aren't exactly budget-friendly, you could say they're agak pricey, but the quality is on point, so it's acceptable. However, I glanced at the pour-over coffee at the next table, and the portion seemed a bit mini[6]. Second, because the space isn't large and the ceiling is low, when it gets crowded, the chatter is constant. If you're looking for a completely quiet place to work, you might need to bring your noise-canceling headphones[7].
Tips & Tricks (Save this now!)
- For the WFC crowd: The number of power outlets is amazing, almost every seat has one! The WiFi is also fast[8], and they provide board games, making it perfect for nongkrong with friends or bringing your laptop to get some work done.
- Want the capybara?: Remember, the cute Capybara Pudding[9] is only available on Saturdays, and it's super popular, so you have to go early if you want to try it!
- Don't bring cash: This shop only accepts QRIS or Debit card payments; no cash or credit cards[10], so don't make a wasted trip.
- Parking: Street parking is available, with an attendant to help guide you, but spots are limited. It's best to just take a ride-hailing service to save yourself the trouble.
- Best time to visit: If you want to chill quietly, it's best to come on a weekday. It gets really crowded on weekend nights, so be prepared to wait for a table.
- Their signature crème brûlée coffee [1] is pure magic! Crack the crispy caramel for perfectly balanced, sweet coffee [2].
- Viral capybara pudding [3] is adorable! Limited Saturday stock, so go early or miss out!
- Small but mighty, it's WFC party heaven [4]! Outlets everywhere, blazing WiFi – ideal for work or board games!
