Ke sini sudah menjelang sore dan ternyata rame banget. Hampir saja tidak dapat tempat duduk. Kami duduk dekat dengan window glass jadi bisa melihat ke arah semi outdoor area.
Ada 2 area semi outdoor, di depan dan di belakang. Pengunjung banyak yang merokok di area belakang, jadi IMHO kurang nyaman. Yang paling oke memang yang area indoor di bagian tengah. Jarak tempat duduk lumayan berdekatan. Tapi masih ok kok. 

Menu bisa dilihat di meja kasir atau langsung scan barcode yang tersedia di meja. Saya pesan es teh Moringa, biar sama saja sama pesanan teman. Buat yang suka manis kayak saya, mungkin lebih suka jika ditambahkan dengan gula. Tapi diminum begitu saja juga ok. 

Kedai ini juga memelihara kucing. Pantas saja ada salah satu kucing yang cuek saja berbaur dengan pengunjung. Dan sepertinya sudah biasa difoto karena langsung pasang gaya pas didekatin.

This is sort of mini coffee shop, just accross Cikini Railway station. It has smoking and non smoking area. Lucky for me and my friends, the non smoking area still empty. So, we kinda occupy the whole area. Both areas not spacious so to have personal space is a bit difficult, but still okay. 

I ordered flat white and like it, also love the art latte.


We like the ambiance there, this is the kinda place you can sit for hours staring people passing by. Especially if you sitting near the glass window, facing the street.  
Aside near train station Cikini, there is also bus stop for busway and micro trans. 

For those who come here using online transportation, please pay attention to the map details. I manually typed in the address on the online transportation application and arrived in front of Adotel inn. It is a 15-minute walk away. 

So it's better if you look closely at Google Maps for other nearest shops or restaurants as your destination. Then walk a bit to this coffee shop. 

The place itself is great for taking photos, especially in the evening. The theme is industrial, with a spacious indoor area and a decent outdoor area. 

Positive: 
Drink orders are delivered to the table, because we were too busy chatting and didn't hear when they called our name. 
The milk coffee is a bit creamy but still strong for my taste, still okay though (price at IDR 25K for a medium size). 
There are many electric plugs near the seating area. 
A photo friendly coffee shop. 

Negative: 
Although it's just a soft opening, the restroom should have been ready to use. But it's still not decent enough to use. 
For those who bring their own vehicles, the parking area is not sufficient enough.

The chairs are uncomfortable, as if they're designed for "laid-back" sitting, but it's too much. 
It's a bit unclear whether they're straw less or not, as some drinks come with straws while others don't.

It seems the coffee shops rebranding from Kedai Enin’s to KENT. I prefer the new logo, to be honest. There are only 2 seats at indoor area. More on semi outdoor area, but not much. 

Having my lunch here with my friend. I ordered rice bowl dori & sambal matah but they run out. So I have rice bowl beef with sambal matah (IDR 35K) & caramel machiatto (IDR 20K). Sambal matah is lacking oil & the so caled beef is small slice of smoked beef. Big portion on the rice. Regretfully I didn’t finish my meal. The drink is okay, I don’t expect too much of it.

My friend ordered americano & fried rice (IDR 30K). The fried rice actually is okay, I tried a a bit. But it would be nice if they serves with chilli. 

Positive:

If you are staying at the ADOTEL inn, then this place would be nice for you to hang out & enjoy the bustling street.

It’s actually a cozy little coffee shop, as long as not too many visitors. 
Payment can be cashless 

Negative:

The meal just so so

Iseng pesan cheese burger karena sedang promo. Pas sampai, ealah ukurannya kecil ya. Tapi, grilled patty emang enak sih, udah abis after taste masih berasa. Untuk ganjel perut kalau lagi sibuk sih bisa lah.

Pesan online karena penasaran rasanya kayak apa siiih... Mirip2 dolce latte tapi yang ini jauh lebih creamy. Intinya sih ini ya kopi susu juga, hanya kopinya tidak terlalu kuat saja. 
Enak juga sih rasanya, mungkin karena saya memang suka yang creamy seperti ini.
