entering this shop feels like it took you to another place than Jakarta. so mediteranian feel. starts from the tile, the arch, until the white rounded bench. very well executed in terms of design and decor. i had my high expectation for their drink as well and hoping for something to nibble. unfortunately when i visited there, there was no small bites ready yet. As for the coffee, i had a cup of capp there. nothing fancy but it tasted quite burnt altho the warmth was alright. sadly that was my downside for this place if not then it will be an awesome experience. 

This petite coffee shop located the basement tunnel which i think interconnect with the office section in Pacific Place. Petite but neat. 
the menu that i tried was the es kopi nusantara which they used susu SKM and it taste like old skool coffee with espresso based. not that light but also not too strong kind of coffee. well fit for office's staff...

i didn't know there is a coffee shop in this area until i saw someone took picture outside kopi nyai in instagram. and because it is near my office, i had the chance to try it. Located just on the side of the main road kramat pela, it wasn't hard to find it and parking also easy. i was quite hungry but didn't want full course meal so i opt for the fried banana to accompany my capp. It takes time for the banana to ready, but you won't be dissapointed with the taste. and just like that the banana is finished. so addictive from their caramel sauce and brown sugar (very sweet yet tasty). my hot coffee was also quite good to rinse all those sweetness so no bad after taste. 

to my curiosity, i tried their ice coffee jelly. and for those who prefers medium to stronger coffee taste, you will be dissapointed but if you're looking for freshness and like sweeter ice coffee, this is it. my negative comment only for the smoking area, when there are people inside smoking, the smoke "leak" thru the door so the smoking scent was quite thick at that time. i'm sure, people with children won't like it and i'm one of them.

i remembered visiting their first shop in sunter a while ago and felt comfy with the space and good lighting. This latest spot wasn't as big as the main shop or at the SCBD but they are still aligned in terms of design and color palette and of course with marzocco as their weapon. seating are limited indoor and outdoor but parking is at ease. 
Coffee wise its still the bold kind (altho you can choose for the lighter one with different blend) and they just offer lite bites to accompany your coffee or tea. For heavier food you can just go next door for padang, sushi, etc.. glad to have FC near my area.

i'm amazed how everytime i visit here or pass by this place is fill with people eventho the location is not the best one and parking not a comfy one. anyway, their coffee is spot on tho. i like the body and after taste eventho lack of latte art. but the essential is not in the latte art anyway. the place is quite cramp especially when the crowd is full and you can always bump one and another side by side.
i think you can order food next door and eat it here as my seat 'neighbour' ordered one, anyway this one need to ask the shop keeper/barista.
they had the takeaway ice coffee version too, but personally i like their hot white coffee better and i happen want to have more and more.

just got the time to visit here after many attempts failed due to traffic and the shop was crowded. luckily we got a nice spot here eventho the place was quite busy. i must say, they lay it out well as it feel spacious with tall ceiling. love the cup theme and design and i feel everything well put together, but the couch starting to catch stain here and there.
honestly the coffee was on the bitter side with a little bit of acidic and i was helped by pancake that we ordered. i think it was strawberry pancake and the sweetness was just right in order to balance my palate. good visit but not that great.

i remembered this place was still new and quite a lot of posting in instafeed. overall everything here are in bigger size than normal. big cup of capp, big slice of cake but also bigger in price as well. The place itself is comfy with quite nice parking slot in front. 
This is not just a matter new coffee shop but they offer some new variant of food like colorful sandwhich (forgot the name), and many more which is quite interesting i must say. Some notes for the coffee tho, because the cup was big so its not full in body.. well more to casual not so strong drinker i guess. And the cake really made me full and i skip my lunch that day.. 

i was worried to visit here due to the office area that was considerable new.
but i found it not so hard and easy to park to reach here. the office complex is very nice and modern so its very supporting this coffee shop vibes.
i tried the popular choice here, avocado ice cube, and i know why its popular here. 
the combo was just nice and refreshing, while the espresso itself wasn't too bitter or acidic. however the waiter/barista here was too busy with his smartphone so for waiting time i consider quite long even when asking for bill. i'm sure maybe its just one those days...
