Welcome to Bugis Kopitiam, a delightful café nestled in the bustling heart of Jakarta. This charming spot is not just a place to grab a bite; it’s a journey into the rich tapestry of Indonesian flavors, specifically celebrating the comfort food of Betawi, along with various other local delicacies. Located conveniently at Stasiun Jl. Medan Merdeka Tim. No.1 5, Gambir, Kota Jakarta Pusat, this café is ready to welcome you with open arms.

As you step in, you’ll be greeted by a cozy atmosphere that perfectly balances warmth and vibrancy, making it an inviting space for everything from casual meet-ups to relaxing solo meals. The sound of chatter mingles with the aroma of freshly prepared dishes, creating an ambiance that beckons you to unwind and indulge.

Bugis Kopitiam’s menu is a love letter to the local culinary scene, featuring favorites like soto betawi, a soul-soothing soup that combines tender beef with a rich, aromatic broth. The flavors are intense yet somehow familiar, evoking memories of home-cooked meals. Another must-try is the otak-otak, a savory fish cake that's grilled to perfection, offering a delightful texture with every bite. Even the presentation reflects the care that goes into each dish, making your dining experience not just a meal, but a feast for the senses.

However, it isn’t just the food that captures the heart of Bugis Kopitiam; it’s also the service.

Others, like Nano Buana, appreciate the cozy escape that Bugis Kopitiam provides, noting that it’s an excellent spot, albeit with some menu items unavailable in the morning.

We tried soup ( soto betawi or what I forget the name. ). It was tasty and I tried otak otak also tasty.. Service was good actually but they have problems with pricing. Tried to order siomay or otak otak ikan tenggiri @7k. The waitress said minimum order is 7. Then why they put it @7 not one portion 7 = 49k or put minimum order.. I believe this confusion leads people to feel unsatisfied/ not good review. Soup 52k IDR + otak otak 49k IDR They have a good room upstairs ( with sofa )
