[2025 Jakarta Restaurant] Travel Guide for Kawisari Cafe & Eatery (Updated May)

Love the environment even as you start to approach to the door. Food well presented and was fresh. Service was good enough nothing outstanding, however location was fantastic. Rather quiet and relaxing in the day of my visit. While the food was undeniably tasty, the portion sizes left much to be desired, especially considering the premium pricing. Additionally, the cramped layout of the restaurant meant that when it was busy, the noise level became overwhelming, detracting from the ambiance. #indonesiatrip #familytravel #afternoonteatime

This is a unique cafe with an orange and brick themed design. It looks stunning and is very well done with a minimalist approach. It does get crowded as it is famous for taking pictures. But because the cafe is spacious, split in three levels. It is easy to find a place to sit. God forbid if this is a Chinese holiday, then the cafe will be jam packed with people who will take pictures non stop or even be noisy. Other times if lucky, you can get nice pictures here with hopefully less people around. #indonesiatrip #thingstodo #travel

The service was friendly. The latte and cappuccino were excellent. The winner however was the hot chocolate that my wife had. It was 65% dark sourced from Kelantan. It perfectly balanced out the fruity notes with the mildly acidic aftertaste. The New York and Pistachio cheesecakes worked really well with our drinks. These guys know their coffee and chocolate. #indonesiatrip #afternoonteatime #thingstodo

Food presentation seems good in overall. Time to serving is reasonable as i was there for early dinner when it is not on peak time. Ordered green curry pasta that taste more like a carbonara. Grill salmon was excellent .The tiramisu cake was the worst ever tiramisu i tasted ever, the chunky texture tiramisu with a mix of nut and pop corn coating ( my guess) as the side is the main failure and i just have to give up on it. I hope the cafe owner to taste it themselves to make improvement. #indonesiatrip #travel #thingstodo
