The all-stars of this cafe are the Big Breakfast, complete with mushrooms, toast, scrambled egg, hash browns, and a choice of sausage or bacon, and the All Day Breakfast which is similar but comes with baked beans and grilled tomatoes instead of hash browns and mushrooms. Each dish is Rp. 85,000 (~USD5.99), and there’s also a selection of excellent coffee that starts at Rp. 18,000 (~USD1.27)

The Monolog branch in Pondok Indah Mall (PIM) is more spacious than the one in Plaza Senayan, though both are well-known brunch cafes in Jakarta. It has big windows that let in plenty of natural light and there’s also an outdoor area with lots of plants.

Roomy and family-friendly, it’s an ideal meet-up spot for small and rather big groups, but be sure to make a reservation at least a day in advance.

Monolog has a great all-day breakfast menu, which is perfectly filling for brunch.

Komunal88 is not your usual restaurant because it’s essentially a cafe market, meaning that in addition to the delicious dishes listed on the menu, you’ll see a lot of goodies such as croissants and danishes on display for you to directly fill up your brunch tray with.

Not only does this place offer top-notch service, but it is also devoted to celebrating the food cultures of culinary meccas such as New York, Italy, Turkey, and the Middle East, just to name a few. It’s reflected in the diversity of the menu.

Despite its international outlook, it doesn’t forget to source locally, especially the coffee that starts at Rp. 25,000 (~USD1.76). While you’re there, you might as well try Komunal 88’s signature drip coffee, Black Lemon Coffee (Rp. 35,000, ~USD2.47) for a fresh caffeine kick. Chilled drinks are available here too.

Egghotel is almost like a secret getaway because it’s located on the rooftop of a kost called Suites at Seven.

Unlike the minimalistic look of other 1/15 Coffee branches, the one in Menteng has a more homey feeling as it’s in a Dutch colonial-style house typical of the area. A beautiful outdoor area makes it more appealing for those who want to get a dose of Vitamin D. 

Due to its location and vibe, its clientele is made up of different age groups, making it a popular spot for couples, families, and groups of friends alike.
