This new simple coffee shop opens up in casablanca area, to be more specific just around the corner before tokopedia tower behind Karet bus stop. They offer me  their ice kopi susu signature 11 (their signature drink with home made sugar) but i opted for hot latte instead. 
With their coffee blend, it turns out well. The nutty taste was quite distinctive and good for my pocket too.
i saw some light bites like old skool donuts, bolu, etc was in table but don't expect heavier food here. They will rotate the light bites choices so customers can have variations. nice.. Well its a small coffee shop to cater those who like a nice simple quick kopisus or just simply sit down and wait for casablanca's traffic.

As a Jakarta's citizen, the food and drinks here consider very affordable and yet its taste isn't dissapointing. eventho i only tried their choco brownies with ice cream and cappuccino hopefully the rest will have the same quality. i'm not sure if location can be consider prime one because its not really on the main road but still close from the Toll road from Jakarta.
as i discover more, they had their beans from morph coffee with their own blend style. the result is a balanced coffee, light body and delight after taste. so combine those with the brownies ice cream, you get a nice coffee shop experience. with great value for money compare to jakarta, this place is my fav spot so far in bogor amongst other modern cafe here.

This place is somehow a bit hidden from the main road of rukos in PIK. Having that said, still parking can be a difficult part to have. Anyway, with vintage chic Mediterranean styling, it sort of quite a looking from the entrance. To chat, to hang out sure is comfy even for 1 ruko size. Though its name consist of invitation to have a coffee, for me i prefer to try their healthty juice and some scone for my day opener. The juice consist of some secret ingredients but they asure me its refreshing. And yea i must say it was. The scones was alright. Served with jam dan butter sure is enough for me and not overwhelming. Well, good enough to have breakfast here around PIK as they open their door as early as 7:30. 

I noticed that in this road section, they are the only place that serve specialty coffee. And fortunately i spent days staying in the nearby hospital in the area. Well during my lunch break i visited them for my daily cup of coffee. At that time, they use single origin papua, which to me was on point in taste, and the acidity that still within my tolerance. Being there during lunch break i decided to have something to nibble, and as usual, my opt went to their banana bread. At first i was getting upset because the waiting time for the banana bread was long meanwhile the banana bread was already there in the display rack. But actually they toast it again to when they serve it to you, it still warm and you'll get that extra crispness on the edges. Good call. It was a nice quick experience, and will be back during break again. Oh...they do served other menus instead of just lite bites.  

Sometimes u will crave for an oldies food yet authentic in this modern food jungle. This 1 of few that still serves that. It may be not an old restaurant but the dishes are. Anybody who is familiar with semarang's food, they sure will know about its tasty food and this resto has its root from there. They have the galantin, nasi goreng babat, even sup tomat mintje is good. but this time i ordered the nasi langgi as i need something hefty to fulfil my hunger. And if u like snacks from good old days, they do still have it like the colored sweet cookies, and others which i can't describe. Minor setback: parking may not be that spacious but i think adequate for its resto size. Portion may not be big but for the value for money its very good. Another reason for u to order more? 😊

Well, they located not really on the main road specifically in an alley across grand family hospital so locating them is either easy or hard. easy because they have this yellow signage, hard because the alley just right before a left turn so don't speeding when you making left turn. enough for the direction. I found the location quite nice especially when you don't want too crowded yet still reachable. Plenty of light and shades made this place feels spacious yet you won't feel too warm on mid day sun. When i was there, all the personels were female. so is this mean another all female coffee shop? good on you girls... beans wise, when i got my cup of cappuccino i tasted a familiar notes and it turns out sourced from giyanti. So at least you know you are on a good hand on that department and the barista pull it out just nicely. thick foam, and strong after taste (in a good way of course).
Well when i'm visiting the hospital across the road, i know i can grab a good cup here.

This cafe has a unique theme where coffee meets make up. Seems odd but there you have it. with high ceiling and plenty of lighting sure will make you comfy stayin here for a long period of time. For smokers, they've prepared a separate area and i must say, it was a good separator in just 1 ruko size building. Choices of pastries and drinks are as standard with coffee or non coffee as well as from croissant to doughnut to accompany you. i had their salted egg croissant and cappuccino. the salted egg croissant has plenty of fillings and butterish flavour and i didn't regret having this as first i was tempted to have their doughnut. for Cappuccino i was given their house blend as the barista said its quite strong yet not acidic. that part is true. i can feel the kick in the pulled espresso but not leaving any bad after taste. one that did not fulfil my shoes was a bit too watery for a cappuccino. well maybe its a personal preferences after all.

i must say the this place is easy to reach when you're on the way to Ikea as its near tollway exit and Ikea when you're from jakarta. i must say the place is homey and bright. dominated with white and wooden accent made it an up to date place to have your cup of coffee. at that time, they have 2 choices of blend in their grinder. since it was still on promo period, i had the chance to have them all. 1st cup was a cappuccino. all seems alright its just need a tad hotter. But they fixed it on my second cup as flat white. The beans was sourced from common grounds and coffeesmith, so safe a sure you're in the right hand. The banana bread was nutty and they warm it so you'll get its crispiness. my kind of banana bread. perhaps a lil bit of caramel sauce will make it better.

Coffee shop in PIK grows faster and faster by the day. the latest one is this. Located near Kafe TIA you couldn't miss this coffee corner. the building are shared with other companion such as for beauty and luxury watch so you could spend your time browsing around. Because they are in a corner, sunlight is easily pass their windows. currently they still serving coffee and cakes although not so many choices yet as they are still in the midst of studying their customer so in the future if the demand is right then the choices will come. I had their cappuccino with dolok sanggul beans as their houseblend wasn't ready yet.. chocolatey, sweet and the pulled espresso just right in taste and foamy as it should. good job white eagle..

the road where they have this bear hut, is road that i used to pass often when i was a kid. its nice to visit this road and find this small yet cozy coffee shop. i was served by none other the mama bear there. i opt for the californian brown with banana muffin on the side. it was served with like a tall beer glass instead of a coffee cup which is cool and i got a refreshing coffee with nutty flavour, and honestly a taste that i never taste before in a coffee. i chose a corner in front of the counter which if i work or leisuring there, it can be hours before i want move. unfortunately, work called but the lovely little bear hut is memorable.
