5 Best Cafes in Kebayoran Baru 

Hello FlokqApril 9, 2020

Kebayoran Baru is one of the most affluent areas in Jakarta. There are quite a lot of governmental institutions such as the Indonesian Stock Exchange up to the ASEAN secretariat building. It’s delightful to know that in an area as upscale as Kebayoran Baru, there are dozens of cozy and authentic cafes. Despite the long list, some cafes are apologetically bland and uninspiring. Fortunately,  a few have worked their way through to cultivate a convivial, amusing ambiance and stick out from the crowd. If you are looking for a quick coffee break in between your meeting schedule or in-need for a new ambiance for a casual meeting with clients, then these cafes in Kebayoran Baru perfectly fit your will. Here are the 5 of the best cafes in Kebayoran Baru.

1. Woodpecker Coffee 

Restaurant and Cafe

When we say this place is a great choice for hanging out, believe us; it really is! When you walk in, you can immediately see the cozy ambiance with wooden-tiles and black-ornament windows that brings out the cozy ambiance of Woodpecker Coffee to a different level. The service in this place is fast and friendly, one of the important points of comfort in a cafe. Our favorite beverage here is definitely the Maple Avocado Latte. It has a great natural sweetness with a smooth, low acidity creamy taste that kicks the mind of those who drink it.

Cafe & Restaurant

As Jakarta urban cafe explorers, this is the last (but not the least) place we’d recommend you to visit. Yes, Terroir Coffee and Eats is the newly trending cafe in town. We couldn’t keep ourselves from ordering their Hot Mix Pizza— a thin crispy pizza topped with rich smoke beef, sausage, mushroom, caramelized onions and a dash of chili powder.  The portion is to share with your group of friends! Of course, Terroir also offers a great variation of coffee. However, we fell in love with their Speculoos Milkshake. That flavorful herbed speculoos biscuit on top of the combination of vanilla ice cream with a drizzle of caramel sauce. Terroir Coffee and Eats is not only great for its food and beverages, but the ambiance is great for hangout occasions with your date, friends, and families!
