a tale of Two Coffee Beans — Restaurant in Kelapa Dua

Got know the cafe from Instagram, as they offer serious specialty coffee (really serious).

Food and drink No doubt, must try the filter coffee - I had a Tier 3 Panama Gesha Deborah, absolutely fantastic beans. Strong Jasmine aroma with great Smith apple long aftertaste. Even after take a dish and get a latte, the apple taste still lingering in my mouth Iced White - distinct flavour compared to average latte out there, aromatic taste combined with milk creates a creamy avacado taste (or it's just me) Sliders - had the O.G and Pork Teriyaki, they are great, but for the pork it's more sweet than I imagined. Siomay - just okay

Service They are actively interact and ask our preference on choosing the coffee menu. You can freely chat with the baristas, they are professional, you will be learn new things from them. That's a good thing.

Atmosphere Modern minimalist finishing, clean looks. I like the manual brew station on the second floor, where it's the place you can interact with the barista. There are plenty of electric socket, and fast internet Wi-Fi available. The seatings are available on 1st and 2nd floor. Great for WFC.

I guess their target market is only a niche group of people who like natural-dried coffee beans. It’s really too bad because not many people like or are able to endure the fermented taste of natural-dried coffee. The only choice of washed beans was imported & I think is over-priced.

Will I revisit? I really like the atmosphere...but if they still continue to only carry all natural beans, then...

A well-known coffee shop located near the People Temple Roastery that operated by some professional & skilled baristas. They have recently introduced new slider menu (burgers, etc.) that appears to be pretty appealing. However, as we had already eaten lunch, we only tried potato chips. The potato chips with lime pepper were presented in an appetizing manner. They were perfectly fried, resulting in a crispy texture and a delicious, refreshing seasoning. The cappuccino was satisfactory, with a silky and smooth texture. For the filtered coffee, I opted for the Semendo washed and Colombia Rumah Sangrai Bloom Roastery. The floral flavor notes were quite pronounced, complemented by a...
