READLIFE Coffee

Short review on a hang-out place near my house! I've been wanting to visit this place since several months ago but it was just realized last Sunday :)

READLIFE Coffee

Mall of Indonesia, Ruko Italian Walk blok C 46

Jl. Boulevard Barat Raya, Kelapa Gading, Jakarta Utara 14240

As for the concept, it was a simple but stylish coffee place with the touch of Japanese concept. The Japanese concept mainly can be seen as they have one spot with "zakka" or miscellanous goods on the back side, and several touch of book shelf and everything simple-decorated inside the shop.

As for visitors type, don't be surprised that quite a lot of Koreans visit this place, maybe mainly because 1) lots of Koreans stay on this apartment area, and 2) somehow this coffee shop style is a little bit Korean-ish too. And so they put on Korean songs all the time..

For the food, I ordered the latte and fried banana set for 50k, and additional fruit tea for around 58k. 

Can't say much about the coffee as I'm not an avid coffee drinker but it was very acceptable on the taste side. It was not bitter and a very mild latte. Fried banana was nice and sweet, plus point for lots of crunchies on the plate.

The fruit tea was very nice though! It was mixed with slices of lemon, lime, mint, and apple. Minus point is that it better be finished asap as the more you let it be, the more the water heat pull out the bitterness from the lemon and lime skin. Other than that it was great!

See those stylish pot ~

Very small cup by the way. But since it was pretty, it's ok. Haha.

Overall, it was a pleasant visit and nothing to be complained about. The service were nice, ambiance is nice too, recommended to go at night maybe (?) to avoid crowds. And since it was very near my place, I will definitely come again some other time!

That's it for today's post (told ya it was gonna be short) and will see ya on the other one!
