Sejiwa is one of the newcomers on Bandung's growing coffee scene and based on my visit I already had great feeling that this is going to be the next 'it' hot spot packed with more youngsters/families. Why? Keep reading.

So I literally just arrived back from Bandung, couldn't sleep and in the mood to write something, I slept the whole time on the way and now feeling so refreshed, especially after taking a bath, thought I just share you my experience visiting this very happening pop-up Yogurt studio located in Paris Van Java Bandung: Yoforia!
Woah I have been writing so many of my Bandung stories that it's almost finished! You can check out the previous posts on the archive and the travel page I am building soon. Anyway, this restaurant was our last stop to have lunch before heading back to Jakarta and recommended by so many of you on Snapchat (if I am not mistaken the top 2 was this and 180 Coffee and Music): WILDGRASS!

This was a rather accidental finding, so whoever ran the socmed account of Let's Go Gelato commented on my 180 Coffee and Music Instagram post, and when me and my friend from Yummy Traveler peek the account, we noticed that their gelato looks promising. Ice cream is not the first thing that I look for in Bandung, but theirs were promising enough to make us gave it a try.
Let's Go Gelato is a small gelato and sorbet shop located at Jalan Bengawan No. 29 and located precisely beside Papyrus photography service. The first story is where they showcase the 23 of their pretty, colorful & tempting looking gelato and sorbet selections, FYI they even have this Singapore Chili Crab flavor that I was dying to try but was not available that day. Ordering your ice cream here was quite common and simple, you choose what size and how many scoops you want, proceed to payment and they will give you the receipt.

The retail price for 2 scoops of regular flavors is IDR 25k and 4 scoops for IDR 45k. One scoop of premium gelato costs IDR 20k
Not too long ago, one of my favorite Bandung coffee shops chain, Two Hands Full, opened their a new branch of their Two Hands Full brand at Ciumbuleuit following their highly successful branch in Jalan Sukajadi, they call this outlet Two Hands Full Garage for it is located at the 107 Garage Room, a cross brand social space that host some of the coolest local food & fashion establishments under one roof.
THF Garage is way smaller than their Sukajadi outlet, but it's totally brighter with strong minimalist design character, and being a sucker for those, overall I might like the look of this outlet better than their Sukajadi outlet which is always overly packed, luckily on my last visit to Bandung, it rains almost all the time so the weather was a bit cool and I enjoyed chilling at the communal semi-outdoor area where everyone can sit around the wood stairs almost like a mini park.
The new coffee shops in Bandung has been personally special when it comes to their design, I see that some of the new ones that I went were designed with good effort, and from the eyes of a customer like myself, I am liking them because they're just my kind of design for a coffee shop: simple, homey, neat with a bit of Western vibe and altogether beautiful. I previously talked about the hype 180 Coffee and Music, and here's another good one: MIMITI COFFEE AND SPACE.
Mimiti (which by the way means "start" or "beginning") is located at Karangsari area (next to Gigglebox cafe) and technically not a spacious coffee shop, but the highlight of this coffee shop/concept store is definitely the how well it is designed that when you see it as an overall, it stands out beautifully. Most of the seatings are located at the al-fresco area but they do have a small indoor seating (like 6 people capacity only) inside their concept store. 
I seriously love the earthy concept they're trying to pull off here with majority wood and concrete furniture and a space that's being covered with the green beauties.
Lads <3
At the moment, there's no heavy food available in Mimiti and they concentrate on serving coffees with small pastry selections, most of the coffees are available only "hot" and the only menu that's chilled is the Iced Latte (IDR 35k) which I had and it was decent. I am never the manual brew guy so I couldn't really comment on that, but my friend said it was just ok as well. Average price of coffee drinks here is around IDR 30k.
I don't know how to make this post longer because there really is not so much to say about Mimiti and I have described everything out for you. I think that the place is so on point and simple without much umimportant and rather annoying details, service was good and friendly, I like the coffee better than 180 (based on my visit) but not the best one (better go to Jack Runner for better coffee). I think people would go here to enjoy the ambiance and take tons of shameless OOTD pictures (this would make a perfect spot and backdrop by the way).

Thank you for reading.

Yo I just came back from my Bandung trip and I have received like A LOT requests from my Instagram and Snapchat followers to write a quick blog post of my Bandung trip! Your wish is my command here's to you!

Yo I just came back from my Bandung trip and I have received like A LOT requests from my Instagram and Snapchat followers to write a quick blog post of my Bandung trip! Your wish is my command here's to you! I love writing quick travel post like this because I know how tardy I am with my travel posts, especially when I have to write each and every post of restaurants I am visiting, with the amount of works I have in town, sometimes I just can’t handle! So many works to do so little time!
If you guys follow me on Instagram, you must notice that I just came back from my Bandung trip, it’s actually a media trip held by Hilton Bandung, and I went with some bloggers and media that I actually am friends with! Sometimes when it’s a short trip, it’s just nice to travel with the people you know, so you don’t waste your time getting to know people that might not leave the best impressions. In the mood to write so I guess I’ll write a little part of my experience and save the rest for the upcoming posts.
Before I get tardy and backdated with my photos let's start getting into the Bandung posts!

As you know, I got invited for bloggers trip to Bandung sponsored and hosted by Hilton Bandung but this time I won't be talking about it and keep it for the upcoming posts instead! I want to show you this decent coffee shop that we went to during our last day. This particular coffee shop is relatively new, if not the newest joint in Bandung and it takes just "Two Cents" to brew your coffees!

Two Cents Brew Believer is located in Cimanuk street, in Riau and around R.E. Martadinata area, it's not very far from the famous Summit Factory Outlet, walking distance will take around 15 minutes. The fact that Two Cents is located in a neighborhood brought along the cozy and homey sense to it, the venue's not exactly spacious but the ambiance was nice, the only thing missing about the interior was the fact that it got pretty hot during the day SUN MUCH?

I brought along Canon 7D to this trip and this is the first time I uploaded my blog series with 7D pictures and was very very satisfied with the quality of the picture! It's really nice and if you're looking for a semi pro camera, this one would be perfect!




Lately I've been noticing a lot of coffee shops with this kind of logo.





Two Cents is offering two kinds of brewing method: Bewitched and Awakening blend. The Bewitched tasted a little more chocolaty with bold flavor while the Awakening tasted more floral, fruity and citrussy. The coffee beans are selected carefully and mostly imported from the regions that produce great beans like Bali (Kintamani), Flores and some others.

Say hi to Adi Taroepratjeka! A coffee enthusiast, barista and the store supervisor! He made nice coffees!


Here are the drinks we ordered during our visit here!

BTW I think my photos on this particular blog post are a little more hipsterish Kinfolk editing style and the editing man... spend few hours on the goddamn photoshop! Whoever says that 'professional' photo editing to look really nice took only a while your photos are probably doomed. 'Professional' here refers to experimenting on the vintage mood for your photos NOT basic enhancing like brightening, contrast or saturation.

Caramel Macchiato
IDR 30k
They're using 15 grams of caramel sauce to this creation and that's a hellotta caramel sauce! The coffee was light and overall sort of milkier than any other Caramel Macchiato I've tried before, probably because the character of caramel which is naturally milky.


Magic
IDR 30k
If the Caramel Macchiato had an overall light flavor then this one was more awakening and in a way...stronger but still on the medium state! I personally think this is more of my coffee preference: medium to strong intensity. This one I recommend.


Orange Honey Latte Macchiato
IDR 30k
Orange flavor infused to this coffee giving a little orange zest flavor but not overpowering, a nice example of a decent execution of coffee + orange with subtle mild aftertaste.



Basil Espressotini
IDR 29k
NEVER in a million years I imagined mixing coffee with basil but this one was seriously very very good! The medium intensity of the coffee (with fruity character) blended with the basil extract and carefully fading together resulting a light, refreshing and sparkling aftertaste! Very much in love with this and I really recommend this one for you to try cause you're gonna love it!
Nice artsy illustration all over the wall!



YES I HAVE BEEN!
Right when I visited Two Cents I realized that the coffees in Jakarta are expensive, a friend told me that in Bandung you could get a flat-white with decent quality only for IDR 15k! Gosh I should really go back to Bandung and explore more of their coffee scene! Seems fun!

OMG I have a story to tell you guys! So basically visiting Bandung especially Two Cents brought along a rather unique experience because why? FOR THE VERY FIRST time ever, we got confronted by a customer who was feeling annoyed with what we're doing. Five food bloggers were invited to this trip and we went everywhere together, since we blog about food (and beverage) and we NEED to take pictures right, apparently one female customer (assuming to be a 30 year old something woman) was not feeling very pleased with us taking photos of the coffee and venue.

I didn't know what kind of epileptic mammoth getting in her, but she, not only once but TWICE raised her voice saying: "These people are annoying!" first one nobody listened but the second one, her voice was louder and trying to say it in our face and then went to Adi to report us, but the thing is, I was not 'on set' when it occurred because I was in the different area of the coffee shop 'secretly' taking pictures. I honestly didn't think we (especially me) disturb anybody's comfort zone and especially her because I know the boundaries exactly and how to put myself as a costumer and as well as a costumer who loves taking pictures! Sometimes when I dine somewhere and I noticed that the place was a bit packed, I decided better NOT taking pictures of the environment because I didn't want to be the center of attention looking like a villager coming to a certain place for the very first time (even if a villager wants to take picture so what?!) or maybe 'secretly' taking pictures later or whatever that I could think of that won't bother others, so I think that woman was seriously overreacting, but seriously it's funny...err...no it wasn't funny then, isn't funny now! *rolls eyes*

But good thing we made that as a joke and we use the term "annoying" A LOT along the trip! MWAHAHA!

In a nutshell, Two Cents is a new coffee shop with awesome potential and with a quality like this, this particular coffee shop could make good things and win a lot of hearts! Keep the coffees brewed because I believe in you! GOOD LUCK!
