Finally, a coffee shop review in 2016! Its really been a while since my last coffee shop visit. I used to try any new coffee shops around Jakarta, especially for the Cappuccino or Piccolo. I have been a fan of coffee with milk since the past 2 years when I started to learn sipping coffee. For some reason, I was curious how people love this bitter and sour beverage. But learning after learning makes me understand more about the type of coffee and the way of serving coffee.
This is De Ploeit Cafe! Its not a new coffee shop actually. It was established on December 2014 at De Ploeit Centrale building in Pluit. If you know Aston Hotel Pluit or Nissan Show Room Pluit, then this coffee shop is just meters away from both of them.
I was invited here to try their complete selections of coffee. They have so many Jars of Coffee bean displayed in the room. It is all their own brand and they sell it too from the cheapest to the most expensive ones such as Kopi Luwak.
I can say that their selections of appetizers and main courses are your kind of comfort food. Its not really that kind of serious food like you see in many other restaurant. They have like Nasi Goreng, Kwetiau, Burger, Sandwich, Roti Bakar, etc. Every food was about simplicity but still really good.
They have their own coffee roaster just if you wanna have your coffee bean roasted there. And I never quite saw something like that before, because its pretty big actually.
One distinctive thing that you'll gonna notice when entering the room is the chairs/ sofa. Every single pair of Table & Chair is different from another pair of table & chair. The owner explained to us that they want to give an experience just like at home with those sofa. Well, you either gonna like it or hate it.
Inside of this room, they have a projector and a big screen for a NOBAR session with all the soccer fans.
The outdoor area has a lot of tables and chairs, plus they put another projector with a big screen. Its usually very crowded at night :)
EGGS BENEDICT - IDR 33.000
As I said earlier, simplicity is the key. They have this very simple egg benedict which I really like. Nothing fancy, just an egg, smoked beef, cheese cream in a bun. The egg yolk was almost cooked, should be half cooked for a perfect eggporn sensation. But its still good though.
SPICY CHICKEN RICE BOWL - IDR 40.000
THIS! You gonna love it! Its a mild spicy fried chicken with egg, raw shallot & onion on a buttered rice. The sauce has a hint of lemon sour.
CHICKEN BASKET - IDR 25.000
Basically, this is salty fried chicken fillet, very tasty!
I certainly don't know the name of this. This is Kintaraja coffee, a mixture of Kintamani and Toraja coffee. It is not a ready to drink bottled coffee actually, because you have to mix it with water with 1:5 comparison of the coffee and water. For example: 50 ml of the coffee with 250 ml of water. That's what the owner told me, although in my personal preferences, I like it 1:2 or 3 just to make it stronger. It takes 12 hours to produce this coffee. Price: IDR 35.000/ bottle.
ICED MINTY LATTE - IDR 38.500
This is my favorite one! I love mint and anything mixed with mint is great for me. Basically its a latte mixed with mint syrup, giving it a strong mint flavor while preserving the strong bitter coffee as well.
ESPRESSO LAVA - IDR 22.000
This is basically Avogatto which is espresso with vanilla ice cream on top. Very good! They put it in Dessert section instead of coffee.
I tried this coffee by Siphon method. I didn't really understand the different taste between this siphon with coffee press, coffee drip or any other manual method. But this Sumatera Mandheling was quite good for my liking, not acid, not really bitter, still sweet for black coffee. You can try their other brewing method.
Overall, its a great place to relax with some great selections of coffee. All food and beverages are very pocket friendly :)
