This week, I decided to spend some time relaxing at a cafe shop and enjoying a matcha latte (both drink and ice cream).
The first place I visited was Kurasu cafe from Kyoto, Japan, and its branch is located in Central Jakarta. The aesthetic and cozy atmosphere makes it a favorite spot for visitors, with occasional views of the commuter line passing by.
The prices here are affordable. I ordered a matcha latte, which ranges from IDR 50K - 80K, and a cheesecake for IDR 60K.
At Kurasu, many visitors like to stay for long periods because the vibes are very calming. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate it 7.5.
Next, I moved to Common Grounds cafe, located not far from Kurasu, right in Menteng, Central Jakarta. Besides being strategically located in the heart of Jakarta, Common Grounds offers its own unique and innovative concept.
Since 2014, Common Grounds has expanded to several branches in the Greater Jakarta area and other major cities in Indonesia, known for its slogan, "Home of The Champions."
It's the first coffee shop to introduce a new trendy feature—a tennis court, which can be rented for IDR 1 million per session.
Each session lasts two hours, with an additional 45 minutes for changing rooms. There are five sessions available per day. The price includes two free meals and two drinks.
The venue has a large capacity, accommodating up to 140 people, making it one of the largest Common Grounds branches. It consists of a coffee bar, a VIP room, and a main seating area.
As usual, I ordered my favorite matcha latte. Prices start from IDR 40K. The cafe operates daily from 06 AM - 8 PM As for the Menteng Tennis Club, it’s open from 6 AM - 8 PM. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate it a 7.
Finally, the third place I visited in Central Jakarta was Tomorrow cafe. Here, the matcha latte costs IDR 28K—highly recommended, made with full cream milk and matcha ice cream for an additional IDR 8K.
I felt very comfortable here, free to sit and relax without being disturbed. The staff is also super friendly. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate it an 8.
