KAWELA — Restaurant in Jepara

What's good: place is cute and comfy, I can stay there for hours chatting with a friend. Plus walking distance from many homestays near the main port. the owners are very friendly and nice. They suggested us nice beaches to visit when we're looking for ideas on what do on the island. the coffee & chocolate milk drinks are decent. I ordered caramel macchiato & classic coffee milk, and they matched my taste.

What could be improved: the tiramisu is honestly disappointing. At such price (45k IDR for a slice), I know I can't expect much, but, well, it doesn't really reflect what a tiramisu is. I hope they can improve this and if only it were not for the tiramisu (which makes me sort of traumatized to order cakes anytime I go there and stick with drinks only), the review would be a...

Went here for a coffee one day and it was so good we decided to come back for dinner. BIG MISTAKE. The service was atrocious. We waited 30 mins for one drink, 45 mins for the other, when other tables were getting their drinks before ours. Food took an hour to arrive. We ordered the chicken tortilla and the vegetarian tortilla, only for me (the vegetarian) to be given the chicken tortilla with them telling me it was vegetarian!!!! An absolute disgrace. It’s such a shame because the vibe here is amazing, the drinks are good, the food is so so, but the service? Absolutely shocking. Even for just a coffee when we were the only ones in there we had to wait 10 minutes for our drink. I’m sorry, but unless this restaurant makes big improvements, I...
