PROLOG

In this century, drinking coffee have experienced enormous development. Drinking coffee is not just about enjoying coffee, but more than that. Coffee symbolizes enthusiasm, creativity, the birth of new ideas, and also a drink that calms down.

That's why a coffee shop business is growing rapidly along with human needs with coffee and dependence on the coffee shop itself.

Coffee is claimed to be a drink that is able to calm down, in addition to alcoholic beverages. Coffee lovers are looking for coffee shops that can also give themselves peace, or called the Coffee Sanctuary.

The term Coffee Sanctuary is a coffee shop concept as a place to calm down, a place to hide from the crowds of the outside world. The coffee shop concept of a sanctuary is expected to be able to meet the needs of coffee lovers who not only need coffee, but also a place to briefly deny the busyness of world affairs.

Kaffeine Kline, The Favorite Coffee Shop in Duren Tiga Mampang, South Jakarta

Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia which offers many coffee shops with various concepts. If you visit Duren Tiga area, Mampang, and want to find a coffee shop that is worth a try, then I advise you to visit Kaffeine Kline.

Kaffeine Kline who has the concept of Coffee Sanctuary will make you feel like finding a new friend in that place. Not just drinking coffee.

Design

What is special about** Kaffeine Kline**? If the Kaffeine Kline building was seen from the outside, it would look like the building was painted white with a firm brick texture, and with a golden sign.

When visitors enter the Kaffeine Kline area, the room seems small, and lacks privacy. The tables are arranged to look close to another table so you might be disturbed by the chat of other visitors next to you.

The atmosphere that makes you not feel alone, I think that's what Kaffeine Kline wants to say. Even though the concept of Coffee Sactuary as in the Instagram profile, Kaffeine Kline wants its visitors to feel the hospitality and crowds in that place so they don't feel lonely.

So, the tables are deliberately arranged like that, and visitors only need to be themselves, with voices in the crowded room that makes them not feel lonely, even though they are hiding from the outside world.

Kaffeine Kline wants people who "hide" there to feel the warmth and taste of the menu they offer. The design of the room is white with lots of typical Indonesian decorations.

Placement of the bar area in the middle of the room is a symbol of a warm coffee shop welcome to customers who want to sit alone in the bar area.

The bar area is also used to make coffee and the area to make reservations because customers must order the menu directly in the order area.

Hanging lamps in the room add a warm impression to this place. When visitors come at night, the Hanging lamps not only serves as a room decoration, but also makes Kaffeine Kline worthy of being your haven.

Outdoor

Kaffeine Kline also has outdoor styled like a pleasant backyard. Visitors who come with friends can enjoy coffee while enjoying a friendly atmosphere.

The arrangement of the Hanging lamps also gives a comfortable impression as if the visitor is in his own house.

Customers will feel at home here. It's just unfortunate, this place is not so large that it can only accommodate a few visitors.

My Experience

Like my previous culinary trip, I visited Kaffeine Kline alone. At first I felt I would not feel comfortable in a place that set the tables very close together. But that thought disappeared when I started eating a menu.

I can be comfortable with myself, a plate of Oxtail Fried Rice, and a glass of Iced Heaven's Coffee (Es Kopi Surga).

Oxtail Fried Rice

I first ate fried rice with oxtail. It tastes good and is certainly unique. You can see that the appearance is simple, but it doesn't make you disappointed.

The stuffed oxtail in fried rice is enough so that eating this simple dish is both filling and delicious. The portion is not too much, but enough to fill because the price given is reasonable.

Es Kopi Surga

Es Kopi Surga or in English called Iced Heaven's Coffee is the drink I ordered. Not only is the signature drink name interesting, but also because of its composition.

When I was in the Order Area, I asked about coffee containing brown sugar, then they offered a menu of "Es Kopi Surga" and I immediately agreed I ordered the menu.

Es Kopi Surga, one of the menus that happens to coincide with the coffee sanctuary concept that relates to the "holy" philosophy like heaven.

The taste of Es Kopi Surga is quite strong and more than just giving satisfaction. Like there is heaven in coffee.

Es Kopi Surga is really suitable I enjoy in this place. Although I came alone, but the warm atmosphere from around this coffee shop made the atmosphere cheerful.

Es Kopi Surga is a Kline’s Signature Drink. Besides the great taste, it turns out the name Es Kopi Surga stands for the name of the area where Kaffeine Kline is located.

Es Kopi Surga = ES Kopi SUsu duRen tiGA. Duren Tiga is the name of the location of Kaffeine Kline. Interesting, right?

Service

Their service is very friendly, and they always clean our table which looks messy. If there is an empty plate or glass, the waiter will ask in advance whether the customer is finished, before lifting the empty plate or glass.

CONCLUSION

The Duren Tiga area, Mampang, South Jakarta, Indonesia, is one of the busiest cities that makes you reluctant to get stuck in traffic there. So, if you want to calm down for a moment or look for good and cheap coffee, you can visit Kaffeine Kline.

The Signature Drink served by Kaffeine Kline can calm visitors from the noise of the capital, even though you are not a connoisseur of coffee. Even if you are not a coffee lover, I suggest trying the coffee served by Kaffeine Kline.

If you want to make a small party in the style of a backyard, you can make a reservation with your friends.
