Second Floor Coffee Menteng — Restaurant in Jakarta

First of all, the food and beverages are bomb. We ordered jajeh godoh (banana fritter) and corriander chicken karage as snacks. I was surprised that they served a banana fritter with strawberry slice which is unique as it was the first time i saw something like that, and a dip sauce is very tasty, i want to know the recipe.

Nothing special about the corriander chicken karage, it was just good. Then i ordered the butter croissant, but they didn’t served it with a butter :(, kinda disappointed. Still the croissant was perfectly made.

For the beverages. They have their own signature coffee, which combining coffee with milk and fruits. They said they didn’t put additional sugar, as the sugar comes from the milk and the fruit. I had a fresamentado, a mix between coffee strawberry and oatmilk. I REALLYYYY LOVE IT. You just have to experience it yourself. My friend ordered seaweed, which a mix between coffee matcha and seaweed. For those who like matcha maybe you can order this one.

We also tried the ice matcha, which actually a matcha latte. They can’t tell whether the matcha powder is ceremonial grade or not, something that is important for matcha enthu. Although it was still decent.

The things that ruin my experience was their service. At first we use indoor area, then we moved outside. My drink the fresamentado, half consumed, was taken by them to the kitchen. I don’t know why they can’t grasp a simple instruction. I was very very very disappointed. Then they just served me with water, saying they cannot served the fresamentado again.

It was kinda a mix feeling. I really enjoy my time and food. But with how i experienced their service idk whether i’ll...

Visited Second Floor Coffee, one of the best places to get coffee in Menteng, in my opinion. The place is incredibly cozy, with a modern art ambiance that gives it a unique charm. There’s also an outdoor area, so you can enjoy the fresh air if you prefer. When I visited, it wasn’t crowded at all, which made it even more relaxing.

I ordered the Fresamentado, one of their signature drinks, which combines coffee, strawberry, and oat milk. There’s a special way to drink it—first, you wash your palate with water to neutralize your taste buds. The coffee itself was delicious, with the strawberry flavor perfectly balanced. The longer you leave it, the more the coffee flavor comes through.

We also tried the Black Guava, a unique twist on espresso shots with the sweetness of guava. The combination was refreshing, with the espresso giving a great depth while the guava added a smooth sweetness. Just one shot and it felt like a burst of freshness!

They also offer several other interesting coffee and fruit combinations, which are amazing to try. You can definitely taste the high-quality coffee in each sip.

Definitely recommended if you're in Menteng and craving a cozy, high-quality...
