Lucky Cat Coffee & Kitchen — Restaurant in Jakarta

This is a decent place to have coffee, they have good quality coffee. I tried Papua served with V60 method and it is good. The food is good too. My wife tried spaghetti. One more thing, this place opens 24 hours every day.

I would give 5 star if this incident didn't happen: I was here with my mirrorless camera. One of the waitress approached me and asked me the purpose of me taking photos, just because I was using my mirrorless camera also aside from using my phone's camera. She stated that it is prohibited to take photo for commercial use. Restaurant, coffee shop owners should know, that you can never prevent people from taking photos of your place. As a photographer, I can say even using my mobile phone I can take photos for commercial purpose if I want to. Gear doesn't matter anymore. We are in the age of any digital camera in the market including many of camera in mobile phones are good enough to take great quality photos.

Open your mind, restaurant/coffee shop owners! Even my wife and I discovered your place from the internet, reviews WITH PHOTOS from many sources including this Google Map, and social media. My wife and I came here because we saw someone's photo. We sent our photos of your place also to our friends and 2 of our friends immediately came to us, to your place!! That, I categorize as "commercially used" too. To your advantage, for free.

Many other places with good food, good designed places, actually encourage people to take photos and share to public and friends. Being approached and warned for taking photos, has never been a pleasing experience. If you want to prevent people from taking photos inside your premises, put a big signage in front of your door, "no taking photos allowed" and see how it will damage your traffic...

Pan seared salmon for 99 K IDR++, caesar salad for 59++, and two strawberry juices for 35++ each.

The salmon was prepared and plated much better than the salad. They're both a bit on the salty side for me, but i have to say that the baby potatoes and baby tomatoes that came with the salmon is just scrumptious. They also prepared the salmon quite well - it's soft and flaky (in a good way) without becoming dry. The creamed spinach is also quite delectable and provides a good creaminess to go with the salmon.

All of which is better than the caesar salad which was just passable. The chicken was kinda meh and almost dry and the garlic bread definitely needs more cooking time to make it crunchy. They also overcooked the quail eggs and poured in a bit too much of the dressing - which i suspect came store bought. Luckily the lettuce is quite crunchy and the baby tomatoes are fresh.

The strawberry juice is also just passable for its price since they didn't water it down too much and they actually followed our request for no sugar.

All in all, it's a good place to hang out or work and it opens late, but value for money is kinda below average since the portions are quite small. Lucky for me a friend had access to discounted...

Pictures taken from two different visits. I’ve been to this place since long long time ago, back when they were still open for 24 hours. After the pandemic, I usually came here for just for WFC (work from cafe) at late morning until late afternoon. The photo with laptop was a OK experience, I had caesar salad - which is my favorite menu here, and smirnoff for drinks. (They used to have good collection of craft beers before the pandemic, sadly now they dont have it anymore). Altho its not so convenient to sit upstairs on the side walk aeea for work, but I had no choice because downstairs table was full. The photo with pasta is from my second visit, it was not a good experience. I ordered roasted chicken but I didnt get my order for more than 30mins, so I checked the cashier dan ternyata lupa diinput. Because I already “ilfeel”, I decided to change my order and have pasta instead. When the pasta came, I was so excited because I was super hungry after they forgot to input my order. But when I tasted it, gile pedesnya gak kira-kira. It was super spicy, like ridiculously spicy. And the funny thing is, they didnt say its a spicy pasta on the menu description.. otherwise I wouldnt order it in the first place. Double disappointment for my...
