Best Of : Places to Sip Coffee in Jakarta

We are breaking with tradition this week and bringing you not ONE, but a BUNDLE of posts to enjoy this weekend. If you are a new ' a journey bespoke' reader or new to Jakarta, a very warm welcome to you! Over the next couple of weeks we will be serving up some of our favourite posts, refreshed and updated.

Today we are beginning where our friendship began and where 'a journey bespoke' blog was hatched ... over coffee ... good ... strong ... Indonesian coffee.

Hope you have a great weekend, and here are our Best Of | Coffee Links. What places would you recommend?
