Pretty nice ambience on the rooftop. But somehow you still can hear traffic noise. Well, it's Jakarta after all. I love the 'black coffee club' cup
Kolektiv Coffee is hands down one of the best cafes in town! Their espresso-based drinks are rich and flavorful, perfect for any coffee lover. The snacks are fresh and pair so well with the coffee, and if you're a fan of matcha, you're in for a treat – it's smooth, balanced, and absolutely delicious. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make every visit a pleasant experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great coffee and a relaxed vibe!
This coffe shop is located near the main street of Dewi Sartika, so we can enjoy the view of the street without being disturbed much. They provide 3 area which are the indoor non smoking with air conditioned, outdoor terrace and outdoor rooftop for smoking area. If the weather is good, I suggest you to choose the rooftop because you can enjoy lot of view. They also provide a corner with artificial grass and little table so you can relax special view with mini fountain and a aquarium filled with some cathcy looking fishes. Already ordered some varian and I think the taste for both of their iced coffees is so so for me (subjective opinion), I cant expect more with the range of the price though. But still, this place is recommended for hangout, having a close discussion or working on laptop by yourself or with 2-3 friends.
the rooftop is awesome! got so windy but it comes to be more comfortable when its night. the place is quiet, kind of place i love. they have a signature drink which has milk + grape juice in it, and it taste very very good im not lying!! keep it up
Nice cozy place. Good coffee. Ordered piccolo. Good hang put place. Julio is a friendly guy.
Haven't try it before, but it must be the good place.
This coffee shop is a bit hidden, one location with Pempek Leny. And if you wish to enjoy your drink at rooftop area, then you have to go through Pempek Leny's dine in area. And, since their rooftop located at third floor, better order 2 drinks so you don't have to go back and forth. Plus, they only receive cash and minimum purchase at IDR 50K if you wish to use debit card. My friend like his iced coffee, but I think the iced choco & hot choco just so so. I bought ice cream as well at Pempek Leny since the weather is unbearable hot. I like the ambiance here. If you wish to have quiet moment, better come here at noon. People usually flock this area at night. Their service is good. They are kind enough to help bring my hot chocolate to the third floor. Perhaps because i look so worried. Overall, a decent place to hang out at East Jakarta
