Indonesia is renowned for producing some of the finest coffee beans in the world, and it's only fitting that Jakarta, as the nation's capital, embraces the art of coffee drinking. Besides Starbucks, fortunately, in recent years, more and more passionate and skilled local and international coffee brewers and roasters have opened shops in the city.
