Sometimes we take the humble croissant and a cup of coffee in our favourite coffee shop for granted. But these places have shown us how to appreciate our day by not just sipping the coffee and biting into warm and crispy croissants but smelling the delicious trace of of the butter inside, perhaps the tang of cheese, a sliver of smoked beef, a hint of paté or a super special sauce. And probably we can actuially pick from a wide range of artisan coffees in a vibrant atmosphere, designed to embrace our mood. Here are some of the Jakarta’s delightful delis for you to celebrate your day!
