Kopi Toko Djawa (Menteng) — Restaurant in Jakarta

Was around the area and stumbled upon Djawa coffee shop by searching on google map. Saw the ratings and decided to try it out.

The place looked small from the outside but inside it is spacious.

So I tried to order an ice latte for takeway but they said the latte can only be served hot.

PS: Unfortunately the toilet wasn’t clean and kinda smelled bad. I hope they will soon fix it so it’d be more comfortable for...

I’ve heard about this coffee shop for ages & luckily I don’t have to go all the way to Braga Bandung or Pondok Indah. With my 2 friends, I went there for chit chat & coffee and taking photos. It’s a bit challenging to take photos in front of their coffee shop. Visitors need to come early if they wanto to avoid cars & motorcycle. I tried their iced coffee milk with brown sugar but the taste just so so. However, the price is affordable & their service is good. The place is not too big; they have books if you wish to read while drinking your coffee. I’m considering to go back again with another...
