If
Melbourne is the coffee capital of the world claimed by many, then here in town,
the South must be Jakarta’s very own coffee capital, also the home to some of
my favorite coffee shops in Jakarta.
Earlier
today, together with some friends, we went to the newly opened Djule
Kofi at Melawai. Djule is another brainchild by the same owner of Ombe Koffie in
Pluit, and with the birth of Djule, it’s a good call (or should I say “cure”)
for Southeners who might be fans of Ombe but think it’s too far to reach and
always end up not getting any seat (always my case). For some reasons that I
can’t even explain to myself, I have always loved the Melawai area, maybe I
always have this interest towards places surrounded with culture value, there’s
just something very characteristic about areas like that, well just like Kota
Tua, despite how mainstream the area is, I genuinely love Kota Tua.
We
were there around 3 PM and the shop wasn’t exactly a full house, not until 30
minutes later where it’s completely packed, but luckily we had our seats
assigned. For a coffee shop, I think Djule is considered pretty spacious with
two stories. I didn’t check out the second level, but I heard it’s for close
relatives or acquaintances, and me not yet (lol).
I just
love these people. Always good talks with them, even tho most of the times what
we talk about is completely rubbish, but hey when it comes to friendship that’s
the quality shit.
Here
they serve black (americano), white (espresso based with milk), filtered and manual brew
coffees. The ordering system was pretty common. You order at the counter, you
pay, they’ll give you the ticket and present it to the cold-handed and kind
barista. By kind and cold-handed I mean they were really nice to customize my
order as I really want an iced cappuccino even tho they don’t have that in the
menu, and I didn’t like bottled coffee! I am not exaggerating, but seriously
from that very first sip, I know I can see myself coming back again and again,
or at least crave for it. I had their signature Brazilian blend and it has this
deep and intense fruity flavor, but soon enough fade away to this beautiful
aftertaste when it reached the final of my palate. Honorable mention to whoever
the barista was, I didn’t get the chance to know each other.
They
serve awesome cakes too! Had this apple and chocolate tart and they were
divine.
And to
be completely honest, I LOVE LOVE coffee, but I don’t have the deep knowledge
for it, to my defense, I am a customer, and what matters is I am having coffee
that I LIKE and I feel comfortable sipping my cup of coffee in a cozy shop.
This was what I totally experience in Djule, it might be to premature to say this, but considering I've been to Ombe Koffie before, Djule is sky-rocketing in my personal best coffee shop list. It’s truly a cozy place for me to have my coffee, with or without company. At the moment it might not be the
place to go to open your laptop and sit there for hours, you will instantly
feel bad as soon as you see the number of people standing up, but hey that’s up
to you.
Thank you for making me
fall for you Djule. You’re beautiful!
