Filosofi Kopi Sarinah — Restaurant in Jakarta

We happened to be at Sarinah and wanted to sit down to have some coffee. We went into Filosofi Kopi and found only one empty table with three chairs, just nice for us (we were a party of two), but there were still dirty cups on the table from previous customers. When we wanted to sit down, the person who came to clean the table told us to go to the cashier to order. The two of us went, but then another woman came and just sat down at the table when he was almost finished cleaning. He didn’t even say anything to that woman. We were still ordering and we realised that the table was gone. But there was no effort at all from the cashier or anyone to find us a table, or to speak to the woman that we actually came first. The cashier just smiled and said “it’s okayy” when I said we wouldn’t continue ordering because someone else took our table. Okay for whom? For Filosofi Kopi it’s okay because they still get someone else to buy their coffee, but for us it was definitely not OK. We left the place and we would never consider coming to this cafe again if the service...

Do I like the coffee? Is the coffee good? Is this the perfect coffee Ben's talking about? Does this shop really live up to its name and background? I can't say. I feel like I've had cheaper cups of iced coffee than here but that's most likely because I was in another city.

Why, what, whi would allow the chilling vents to be that cold? Is that intentional to prevent guests who overstay their welcome and not buy anything there? Because that's bull$h1t, Filkop! I bought my drinks and my food! I didn't just stay for 6 hours without getting anything!

Anyways, wi-fi's good but somebody has got to make a better Spotify playlist and relocate the music speaker or at least the seating that is located right next to the stereo. It's just too loud and damn, I don't want to be there having the same song over and over again blared right into my ears.

Place the stereo at the corner of the venue on the ceiling...

Filosofi kopi sarinah is my favorite among other Filosofi kopi in Jakarta. because it’s located in the heart of this city, and this place is quite new(since it was renovated like a year and a half ago). i like it because it keeps adapting to the situation, yesterday i just saw the new outdoor seating area that can accommodate 16people. it’s good, i remember on weekends, especially at night, i often don’t get a seat because it’s full. since filkop is in a historic building, i love the design concept it kinda remind me with a coffee shop in a 70s-80s, you can see it in the retro interior. about the coffee, i don’t know why the taste changed a bit, but butterscotch latte is my favorite! the pastry...
