First Crack Coffee — Restaurant in Jakarta

A reaaaaally nice place to be working from cafe! Place looks industrialist like typical cafe nowadays but it didn't bore/tire me at all like other try-hard-industrialist-cafes. It felt like it gave me just enough vibe to chill while working. The place wasn't loud at all, but it wasn't silent too. Perfect amount of white noise for you to do things on your own/have meeting with your team. If you like listening to cafe asmr in youtubes, I think they were taken from a place like this cafe. The vibes were just right!

For drinks and food, all is good and proper. Worth its price! For drinks they are normally from 30K-90K (for signature coffees but I didn't try them), while snacks and foods ranges from around 30Kish to almost 200K.

Snack/food I ordered: Chicken Spring Roll: Minced chicken with carrot and tofu. Nothing outstanding, but it was nice. I wish they had a more refreshing sauce taste tho. Perfect amount for 2 pax snacking Mushroom and Cheese Omelette: The omelette was RICH in mushroom indeed but I didn't taste enough cheese. Sausage was too little, like I'd rather don't have them on the plate so I wouldn't know that it was that little. But veggies and bread were fresh. Crispy Chicken Kecombrang: Chicken was real crispy and juicy! And it's in big portion too. Other than that nothing outstanding tho, but proper enough.

Drinks I ordered: Raspberry Layered Coffee Mocca: Very delicateee, and the coffee didn't hurt my gerd at all. For this, I can't describe the taste, you have to try it on your own Belgium Chocolate: Didn't try this one Hot Kalamansi Lime Tea: Refreshing! For tea, the taste was bold, but just the way I like it. However it was too small, I thought they were going to serve it in pot, but it was only in a cup.

Should definitely come here for a focused but chill...

The first time I saw this place from the outside, it seemed very simple and didn't look anything special. But once inside, the modern-industrial vibe of the coffee house is palpable.

Having three floors, the first and second floors are very cozy hangout areas with quite a lot of seating and very comfortable and at home to linger here. While the third floor seems to be a classroom intended for customers or members who want to learn about coffee (please revise if the author lacks info about this third floor).

The food and beverage menu is very varied. Especially the coffee collection, which is very large, from manual brew to non-coffee stock. The flavors of the food are also quite good at an affordable price (for the author).

The service from the crew is very communicative and friendly, but when it's crowded, it's a bit difficult to find one crew member at the second floor post.

The atmosphere in all areas in this coffee shop is very good to make you feel at home for a long time just hanging out, wfa, or gathering with family. The temperature of all rooms does not need to worry about overheating or sultry because of the use of quite a lot of air conditioning coupled with portable air conditioners at several points.

Parking area is available in the basement and front area of this coffeeshop and valet parking is also available. For two-wheelers, there is also a parking area in the basement with fairly safe conditions.

This is one of the hangout places that arguably has a cozy vibe, makes you lazy to go home because the atmosphere is very homy.

Enjoy and stay tuned for...

One of the better coffee place in Jakarta. My only qualms is that the service is not consistent, a long wait of closed to 30 mins for my coffee. Not really acceptable to me especially when you want to pair a croissant with coffee and when the croissant have already served first. Warm croissant turns into a cold croissant! The interior of this place reminds me of the Starbucks Reserve Roastery in Shanghai, where you see a scene like a coffee production and roastery and big sacks coffee cherry being placed in the cafe. There’s a wide variety of local Indonesian coffee and methods of brewing in the menu. My personal choice would prefer the Central Java coffee bean with it’s lower nice acidity taste. Besides coffees, there are other beverages such as tea and belgian chocolate drinks, a selection of all-day food and breakfast food too. It’s ayam kampung noodles was delicious. Plain croissant with Elle & Vire butter is a perfect with hot coffee. Situated on a 3-storey building, First Crack Coffee is also a coffee academy. Ground and 1st floor are for customers and 2nd floor is the coffee learning place. Certain areas at the 1st floor are just too cold and not entirely conducive to hang around for sipping coffee. The staff informed that the air-condition temperature cannot be adjusted and it’s automated to such super cold temperatures. Staff are friendly, responsive and attentive. Customers during our visits on a Sunday brunch are mostly...
