Maple & Oak

Jakarta


With modern, Scandi-esque design incorporating pastel tones and plants in terrariums, this cute spot around the corner from Barack Obama's old school serves delicious salads and all-day brunch ranging from hazelnut chocolate toast to seared Norwegian salmon. Smoothies and coffees too (including cold brews).
