Jakarta's Best Dry Hang Out Spots
Going out doesn’t always mean going to get drinks, especially during the month of Ramadan. We’ve rounded up some of the best places in town to gather the group for a good, alcohol-free time:
Giyanti Coffee Roastery Giyanti Coffee Roastery takes its beans seriously, it’s closed three days a week to roast. But from Wednesday to Saturday, this cozy coffee house is the perfect spot to post up for a while with book and a delicious coffee, or two, or three. It’s also a great place to meet up with coffee-snob friends thanks to its shabby-chic design and top-notch customer service.
Eat Happens Located in Tebet, the eclectic Eat Happens has a wide-ranging and delicious menu so rest assured that everyone in your diverse gang will find something to dig into. Why not share so you can get a taste of everything? We highly recommend you start with the martabak, then move on to the black-bun burger, roti cane, bakso sumsum, and end with some es duren and kue cubit.
Koffie Warung Tinggi We already called out Koffie Warung Tinggi on our Places to Eat at Grand Indonesia guide but we love it so much that we had to add it here. There is plenty of seating and a cool, but comfortable, Art Deco feel. It’s the perfect spot to take a break from shopping when Gran Indo feels like too much.Pennyroyal Coffee
Visiting Pennyroyal Coffee in PIK is like going over to your friend’s house for a cuppa, if you’re friend is super friendly and had impeccable taste in décor. And for you animal lovers, Pennyroyal has a four-legged employee, the owner’s adorable dog, Mimi!
Casadina Kitchen & Bakery
Located in the same area as Taman Rasuna, Casadina Kitchen & Bakery’s location can’t be beat. It’s easy to get to from all corners of the city and it’s light airy space is perfect for catching up with friends, especially ones who are super healthy. Casadina’s menu is stocked with tasty juices and fruit blends, so go ahead and get your vitamin on!
Tang Yuan Asian Desserts
One of the things we love most about Asian desserts is how refreshing they are. At Tang Yuan Asian Desserts, everyone in your group will be overwhelmed by all of the choices from drinks with toppings to Taiwanese mixed desserts to mini martabaks. Calling all sweet tooths!
Anomali Coffee
Anomali Coffee was one of the first to put the spotlight on Indonesia’s quality coffee so you know they know what they are talking about. The Senopati outlet is one of our favorites for non-alcoholic nongkrong thanks to the big savory menu and always-tempting pastry case.
