KOHICHA CAFE KELAPA GADING

There's a new coffee shop opening in Kelapa Gading! It's at Ruko Gading Kirana and, well, just use GPS HAHAHA! Honestly, it's my first time visiting this complex, and Kohicha is the only coffee shop standing in this vicinity. Freshly opened just last Saturday, you can hit the hype at @kohichacafe!

HARIO CAFE PLUIT

Yet another new collective space in Pluit is open!! Hario, the most prominent heatproof glass manufacturer from Japan has opened a... WAIT! HAHAHA so before I even start, I said what I said! Hario was originally a heatproof glass manufacturer who tried their fortune in producing syphon coffee maker... and the rest is history. Having become the most well known manual brewing coffee maker manufacturer, they opened their 2nd conceptual space of dine, drink, and shop. The 2nd store is located near to Pluit Village, which is already registered in your GPS! Their first store is located in Aeon Mall BSD, if you happen to wonder!

The shop aims to carry the style of Japanese modern heritage. Longing to deliver visitors 3 distinct experience in the store, which are flavor, presentation, as well as a space to belong, the concept that has already been opened in Tokyo, Japan has been leading on its own as a retailer that offers experience more than just a product.

KANPAI PANTAI INDAH KAPUK

I'M AT FUSHIMI INARI!

Nah, just kidding! But now you can snap your ootd without having to fly so far! It's KANPAI! Yep, the Japanese way for saying "CHEERS!", and the place is as cheery as it sounds!

SISTERFIELDS JAKARTA - PIK AVENUE

Yes, the Sisterfields from Bali that everyone has all been talking about is now here!! It's been on the coming soon section for quite some time in PIK Avenue as they are located near the lobby, so everyone that comes can see them clearly. Since the day we saw their poster, we've been excited to the point of questioning whether or not it's really opening because of how long they took to open but here they are now!! Just a quick fun fact now, did you know that they're called Sisterfields cause the foods are made for sisters, which is why they're all so cute and feminine looking. Though a lot of guys also enjoys their brunch menus as well..lol!

DINNER AT TOBY'S ESTATE PIK AVENUE

We've shared about Toby's first opening in Indonesia before, now we're gonna talk about their dinner menu! They've started selling these menus on November 1st 2017 and please keep in mind that this is for dinner only!

CHAR-GRILLED ANGUS STEAK

The portion here is huge, even for me who's a huge carnivore. Not only the portion big but the meat is also very thick. The taste is without a doubt superb and very tender, too bad the sauce doesn't balance out the meat. More sauce please! For the sides, they use onion rings, yeay!

REUNI COFFEE AND EATERY

Yes, a new coffee shop at Muara Karang! After Viverri, Ombe, Aya, and more, here's another one called Reuni! It's not only a coffee shop but eatery as well, so there's a lot of mains and sides as well!

HOURS KELAPA GADING

Hours here is a new hit at Kelapa Gading and it's 2 months old. There's definitely a lot of new places opening in Kelapa Gading, like Kahvenin, which opens not long after Hours here!

C4 STEAKHOUSE ELANG LAUT PIK

Calling you meat lovers! There's a new steak house in town and it's located at Ruko Elang Laut, called C4. I have no idea why it's called C4 though, all I know is that their specialty is the Australian wagyu..sounds interesting enough!

GAYA GELATO: FROM BALI TO JAKARTA

Yeah! Gelato!! Who doesn't love good gelato? From kids to adults, everyone just loves their gelato, right? Eating gelato always gives me this happy feeling and hearing that the famous Gaya Gelato from Bali coming to Jakarta, I think I'm in heaven! Gaya Gelato in Bali is located at Ubud and Uluwatu and last month they've opened their first Jakarta branch at Pantai Indah Kapuk (again)!!

HARDWARE LANE JAKARTA

So happy that there's yet another brunch spot in Jakarta! When people talk about brunch, the first place that came up in my mind is definitely Maple & Oak but then after giving it some thought, I guess Jakarta has quite a lot of brunch spots like St. Ali, Toby's Estate, and Common Grounds, which are all connected by the way..lol! It's usually coffee shops tho and Hardware Lane here is no different. Don't really know whether they want to focus on the coffee or brunch but all I know is the presentation of their brunch is very interesting! Like always, I did some stalking on their Instagram before visiting and it's obvious that they're an Australian type of brunch and lucky me, cause that's exactly what I love!

Located at Pluit and you can locate it with GPS, cause that's how I found it too..lol! Signage is pretty big, so it's easy to find and the parking lot is huge. You won't miss it!

WHEAT & WIT PIK

Don't really remember what this place was before, the location is right across of PIK Avenue. The place is called Wheat & Wit and it's more of a bakery sourcing from Malaysia!

GENESIS BISTRO & SPORT BAR KELAPA GADING

Are you ready for some fun while you dine? Cause that is what this place is all about! Here's Genesis Bistro & Sports Bar at Kelapa Gading, yeap, sports bar! Not that kind of sports though, it's the indoor dart and billiard kind of sports. I'd say pool but it might be misunderstood, so I called it billiard instead..lol!

TOBY'S ESTATE COFFEE ROASTERS INDONESIA

Here's what every coffee lovers been buzzing of! From Australia, now to Indonesia, yes, this famous coffee house has found a home here in our beloved Jakarta and into the rising star PIK Avenue no less. It's Toby's Estate everybody!

SOCIAL AFFAIR COFFEE AND BAKEHOUSE PIK

Here's yet another new member of Pantai Indah Kapuk and we're super psyched to try it cause it's from the famous Cacaote! Well, since it's Cacaote, we definitely have quite an expectation, plus I like the funny name, Social Affair, sounds exciting..lol!

EPOCH PIK

Sorry, didn't realize that this is yet another restaurant in Pantai Indah Kapuk. Yes, I guess PIK is in the season of new restaurants. This one's called Epoch and it's pretty eye-catching because of that giant clock drawing!

NOKCHA CAFE PIK

Yet another new member has arrived at Pantai Indah Kapuk called Nokcha! Found this from Ivy and because I don't have any other idea of what to try at PIK, so Nokcha it is. Came here when they still have a soft opening promotion, which is 20%!

HOLYDUCK PIK

This place has just opened last month and it's already surrounded with families! Well, this kind of foods is a typical family type foods, so I guess it's no wonder. It's called Holyduck and located in Pantai Indah Kapuk, though you need to pay attention when you're searching for this place in daylight, since the sign is white colored!

EPIGASTRO PIK

So happy that nowadays Pantai Indah Kapuk has been flooded with restaurants with proper food and beautiful interior! One of them is this place located in line with Holy Wings, it's Epigastro!

SAINE DAISE PIK

Pantai Indah Kapuk never disappoints when it comes to new restaurants. The area will always have some new interesting spot to try, especially now that the PIK Avenue Mall is almost open (hopefully this year)! PIK will officially become more jammed people..watch out! On the bright side, there'll be more and more new spots that we bet we wouldn't be able to keep up with but we'll try our best for our readers of Lulabyspoon.com. Yeap, have you noticed that we've finally became Lulabyspoon.com now? :D

ATOMIC ESPRESSO BAR

Ready for something a bit further from Jakarta? Lol! Yes, the coffee fever is spreading and this time it hits Sunter! Located at a residence, this place might be a bit hard to find, since the one at Waze is actually not that acurate but don't worry, you can still use the direction given but after the Waze app said that you've arrived, continue straight until you find the place on your right! Don't worry about not seeing it because they have a huge sign called Atomic Espresso Bar!

This coffee shop is really different because it's built from a residence, so it really looks like an actual house! I don't know if it's from the owner's house or was it bought to become a coffee shop from the start, all I know is that it literally a house with gates and more indoor space, only 1 outdoor table and it's way too exposed to sunlight!

Another thing that makes this place different is that coffee shops nowadays usually inhabited a minimalist interior with wooden furniture but not here! This place looks more of a night life cafe!

Instead of wood, they have this black and red table, which is why I said it's a night cafe..lol!

They offer some cakes and pastries, like quiches or brownies or croissants. Too bad stuff like fries or chicken wing is not available yet!

Ta-dah! Look at it's indoors! Very unlike those typical coffee shops, right? Got me lost for words and totally amazed that they dared to do this kind of concept!

When I came here, there're not many customers around, which is good for a me time! Very cozy and each table is somewhat divided, so you'll have more privacy!

So this is a first time, darts in a coffee shop..lol!

This here is they're iconic tables! Cool, huh?

News flash! All the beverages here cost only IDR 25K, yes, all of them! Don't know if it's somekind of a promotion or is it they're actual price!

UNICORN (TARO LATTE)

Loved it!! Perfectly balanced sweetness and the color isn't like the usual purple taro latte but more of a pinkish purple. Better drink up while it's still warm or just get the iced one instead!

ICE ROCKETS

That espresso cubes kind of beverage that has been popular these days! It's a better way to serve ice latte and this is also 1 of their best sellers after the unicorn!

CHICKEN & MUSHROOM QUICHE IDR 32K

Trust me when I say this is 1 of the best quiche I've ever tasted! Especially eaten while it's still warm..heaven! Well, it's no wonder, since the person behind the quiche is a London's Le Cordon Bleu student called Chef Mesa Tristianto!

 

Super generous amount of chicken with perfect pie crust texture! Yum!

Can you believe that all the brownies here cost only IDR 10K? Everything here is just super affordable! What's better is that they offer vege brownies!

First up is the Original, which is already super yummy in my opinion! Just picture a crispy outer with moist cake and melted chocolate inside! I'm drooling as I'm writing this!

Next is the Red Velvet Cream Cheese. Now this here is the vege brownies, though I don't understand how is that possible and too bad I didn't try this! Wonder what difference they have!

This Chocolate Brownies is also incredible! Just look at that shining chocolate ganache that melts in your mouth!! Perfection!

Not trying to advertise this but this place is truly amazing! Totally a must try if you're in the area. The only down side and a fatal one that is about this is the location...it's way too far from home! It's also new and hasn't been exposed that much yet but with the quality they offer, it's just a shame that people don't know about the place! If only it's in the West area, I'd definitely be a loyal customer!
