mid Jakarta's hustle and bustle, taking a moment for yourself can help clear your head when you don't have the time to travel out of town. These places may offer you the quiet vibe you've been looking for.
Filmore Coffee
Filmore Coffee is not easy to find since it is located inside Suites @Seven Residence Setiabudi, but your effort to look it up will be worth the hassle. This location serves as an advantage to hide from the busy surrounding areas, complete with lush interior and exterior design.
Saturday morning is the perfect time for a cup of coffee and to catch up on reading. But finding a place to read with a quiet atmosphere is not an easy task. Thanks to places like Reading Room, it’s now easier to spend your Saturday morning reading books without any distractions.
Bintaro also has great places where you can spend time alone. One of these places is Kopi Manyar. Opened at the end of last year, the place offers a simple setting with minimalist interior design and comfy seating. Besides that, it also offers coffee under Rp 50,000 (US$3).

Prefer to have a drink on your own? Facebar, located near the Hotel Indonesia traffic circle, may be the perfect place for you.
