Afterseven Cafe - BSD — Restaurant in Pagedangan

The opinion stands out, clearly this place suits more to be a restaurant than a coffee shop-tea-eateries. Services needs to be improved, the management should do more trainings for the servers and doorman - speaking in which this place stands in a quite good clubhouse. I wouldn't say it's good, i wouldn't say it's bad - it's just right.

Improvements could do better in terms of the ambience, well i usually say, a good restaurant would fulfill the needs of the customers, because customers are GOD - Air conditioning aren't working as cozy as i would imagine from the media.

Coffee is on point! Quite surprised they do have many variants of specialities of coffee in this place. Pricing is wise too for people whom are enjoying the place for coffee & food - Speaking this is BSD, i can already imagine if this was Senopati or Kuningan, bet you all $4-$7 for a cup of coffee & speciality coffee.

Should put more scent in this place, it has no coffee scent, no food scent, etc. I think it's a major improvement if they will pay attention to this detail, because, people come for the smell of fresh ground coffee, not the smell of a normal ordinary restaurant.

Talking about ambience, the sounds and the acoustics of the place is great, tho it's a high ceiling it should echo more, but they actually pull it off well.

Cleanliness should be put more in the place it is quite dirty and unhygienic in the sofa's and the windows are way damn dirty. It's reminding me of the old windows around the center city of Jakarta. This Covid season should concern more about the hygenic of the place.

This place is located inside the Quantis Club, next door to The Leaf. Spacious parking space. Came in on a Sunday afternoon, and it was super packed. I was waitlisted but it actually didnt take very long to wait. Just when I decided to walk back to the car, they called us in and gave us a seat.

So we ordered their pasta, marinara; aglio olio and the beef bacon pesto. First of all, all of their pasta wasnt serve hot, thats a minus. And the pasta took so long to came I had to ask the waiter why it took so long. Gotta say, price wise its not very expensive, good deal esp the aglio olio but yeah theres no meat or whatsoever but at 38k what do you expect.

My beef bacon pesto tho.. the pasta wasnt cooked really well, and the bacon? The worst. Absolutely the worst its like eating a dehydrated beef jerky, super dry and super tough at the same time. No flavor whatsoever. I do like the pesto sauce tho. Marinara meatball is okay nothing spectacular, but again, not warm when served 👎

The staffs? Also the worst. I have no idea why they kept on looking at their work station instead of the guests, I waited for 10 minutes just to get their attention. And this happened more than once. Even refilling a hot tea took them 15 minutes? Only to fill hot water into the teapot.... Gosh 🙃

Their strategy for customers to order food through QR is quite clever considering how overwhelmed they are and the staffs arent even responsive to customers. But service is terrible, food is so-so I'm not...

Was pleasantly surprised that they're quite serious about their coffee. Three different, espresso-based house blends and a micro-roastery to boot. I tried all of their house blends. TL;DR: their Floral&Bold Cappucino is da bomb.

First picture: Floral&Bold Cappucino, (more on the origins, process, and roast level below), 18 gram dose, 36 gram yield (single shot espresso, only half yield is used), 160 ml fresh milk (Hometown brand), mineral (not distilled water). Strong aroma, balanced, well-rounded body, acidity, and sweetness, notable floral hints, it’s like drinking flower-infused water.

Second Picture: Piccolo, 18 gram dose, 24 ml yield (single shot ristretto, only half yield is used), 120 ml fresh milk.

Top Left -- House Blend Floral&Bold : Ethiopia Guji Heirloom arabica, natural-processed, medium-to-dark roast. Brazil Mantiquera Bourbon arabica, natural-processed, medium roast. Hints : Floral, chocolaty, brown sugar, caramel. Bottom Right -- House Blend Fruity : Bali Kintamani arabica, natural-processed, medium-to-dark roast. Papandayan arabica, full-washed, medium-to-dark roast. Hints : Fruity, spice, herbs, citrus, orange, lemon. Top Right -- House Blend Decaf : Colombia arabica, decaf, mountain-water natural-processed, medium-to-dark roast. Hints : chocolate, nutty almond, molasses, jasmine,...
