Bakoel Koffie

Occupying a fine old colonial building dating to 1878, this elegant art-deco-style cafe has twirling ceiling fans, marble-top round tables and vintage weighing scales and clocks. It serves strong coffee using beans from across the archipelago. Cakes, breakfasts and local dishes like nasi goreng and bubur ayam (Jakarta-style chicken with spicy peanut sauce) can also be ordered.
