Ali Kopi Cafe & Roastery — Restaurant in Jakarta

It has huge, spacious and colorful building. It is easily recognized as it stands out among the sorrounding building. The parking is big however not big enough compared to it's capacity and the consequences cars and motorcycles take the pavement and street. The front is barely gives you impression of a cafe rather than a small hotel. First a staff would welcome and directs you to a desk where another staff would greet you for booking or finding tables. As it is not enough another two staff in black t shirt warmly welcome you. the first section is for smoking room and and the left end there is a stair led to second floor. After the first section another opened wide glass door where waiters are waiting is the air conditioner room. On the right is a pool table spacious enough to play and a table seems attached to a wall that serves as a table for players. The pool table and the space is for rent 50000 ruphias per hour. well it is worth for four which can divede the cost for less than 20 thousand. On the left of the glass door is a display of all you can eat buffee, hygiene under crystal clear glass where some young man and women behind are standing ready to meet your order and satisfiy your hunger. The distance between tables are wide so it is a bit keeping your privacy talk or it is not going to mess up between gadgets sounds each table has. The toilete is at the right back corner next to pool table. If I am not mistaken there are four doors with gent and ladies marks on each door. Well the toilet rooms is spacious, with luxury impression tiles and good parfume perhaps to compensate the small number compared to visitors at a full hour. Board games such as chess, Othello, card games and others are provided near the pool table entrance. Let's talk about the waiters. Mostly young male in black collar t-shirt, they are friendly to bring you the menu book and wait patiently for your order and disappear once you make up your order only to be present again with your order and it is quick I say. As much warm welcome you were greeted as much smile you are led out of the room through series of staff till you are out at the parking. well great...

Have waited almost 2 hours for the food. They said got problem with the system connecting to the downstairs. They must have seen the crowd so how come they didn't notice?? It got worse when no one even said sorry for such inconvenience. We got the food (not complete though) later than people who came after us. It's obvious they didn't follow the FIFO. Lack of hospitality too, even from the front guy (satpam).

Indomie creamy,, felt like Kolak, sweet,, weird,, I don't think they really use cream for the soup. And Cireng, eww so greasy. Bihun goreng so so, seemed like they already cook the bihun and the veggies-meat separately. The Abang-abang's one is more delicious than this one. They really need to do lots of improvement on the menu and service. Otherwise, it'll be a not recommended place to go for...

18 Oct 2022, first time visit was kinda bad, not of the place, but the food it self. Me and my friend ordered food and coffee. i ordered baileys coffee it taste like watered down regular coffee with baileys syrup, the katsu fried rice i ordered came out 1/5 the rice is like butter and rice combine with so little flavour of so called "Nasi Goreng". my friends ordered some Americano, when i taste it, it taste like V60 Japanese rather than americano, and when i asked the barista, he told us that they use single origin beans for an Espresso based drink, rather than they use an arabica or robusta beans. me and my friends wanted some good coffee but it turns out pretty bad. and the vibe is like Upnormal, but i rather choose upnormal...
