Cikini,

the “Melting Pot”

DIRECTION

The cafe occupies the old colonial house shop (Ruko) building at the old residential Menteng area in Jakarta. It is located at Jalan Cikini Raya No.25. Its strategic location near the old post office “Kantor Pos” and the performing art center “Taman Ismail Marzuki” has made Bakoel koffie an iconic place to hangout, meet, work or simply surf the internet while sipping a cup of freshly roasted Java.

It has became a melting pot where people with all kind of background and social income class gather around to simply enjoy their cup of Java; from artist to painter, writer to diplomat, politician to business people, teachers to professionals, student to journalists, all mingle together, sharing ideas, socializing, or simply working. The place has become a 21th symbol of cafe society in Jakarta, similar to one described by the coffee historian Ukers of the role of cafe in the 17th century…A Melting Pot.

The cafe occupies a building that was designed and build by a renown Indonesian Architect, Andra Matin. The design is tropical minimalist where the space has no wall limitation. Inspired by the Indonesian abundance trees and childhood memory playing under the trees, the cafe was then tweaked to be blanketed by vertical green and trees, hence the concept of activity based cafe “under the tree” is born.

It is a place to romanticize the olden day memory of people sitting on the wooden floor under the trees, sipping coffee while playing traditional games such as congklak, chess or perhaps doing some exercise such as yoga. Or simply socializing, enjoying the cozy and cool atmosphere of a tropical cafe.

This is platform Where people will feel welcome, even amongst strangers. That’s our goal

“Oh, coffee, you dispel the worries of the great, you point the way to those who have wandered from the path of knowledge. Coffee is the drink of the friends of God and of His servants who seek wisdom.”

“Coffee should be black as hell, strong as death, and sweet as love”

— Turkish Proverb
