Bodega’s Favorite Cafés in Jakarta

Sure you’ll be sinking the beers like a true Bodegan and partying all day and all night, but eventually you’ll be craving some of the hot Java bean in a cup at one of the best cafes in Jakarta. Whether you’re nursing a hangover or you’re simply looking for a bit of a pick me up, there are plenty to pick from.

Tanamera
