Why Locals Love Tanagodang Coffee
Nestled in the bustling neighborhood of Darmawangsa, Tanagodang Coffee is a charming café that promises a cozy retreat for both coffee aficionados and casual visitors alike. Despite its modest size, this quaint spot truly stands out with its warm ambiance and carefully curated coffee selections, sourced directly from the owner’s plantation in North Sumatera.
Walking into Tanagodang Coffee, you immediately notice the inviting, relaxed atmosphere. Soft chill music hums in the background, creating a serene environment perfect for focused work sessions, casual meetings, or simply some peaceful alone time. Though seating is limited and the space snug, this intimacy adds to the café’s allure, making it feel like a hidden gem in South Jakarta.
The highlight here is undoubtedly the coffee. Customers rave about the V60 single origin coffee, which delivers a clean, bright profile that lingers pleasantly on the palate. Another must-try is the Kopi Tubruk, a traditional unfiltered coffee served in a unique coconut shell cup—an experience that connects you deeply with Indonesia’s rich coffee culture. For those who prefer something a little sweeter, the vanilla milkshake is a delightful treat, creamy and smooth, perfect for a refreshing pause.
Tanagodang Coffee’s dedication to authenticity is evident in their specialty local coffee from Mandailing and the Bulung Pandan Coffee, which pairs exquisitely with light bites like their quiche—a combo that leaves a lasting impression on patrons. It’s a place that not only delivers quality coffee but also offers an Instagram-worthy setting, making it a popular spot for selfies and casual gatherings.
While some visitors note challenges such as limited parking and a single toilet, the attentive and welcoming baristas ensure that each visit feels personal and appreciated. Prices tend to be on the higher side but are justified by the quality and origin of the coffee, as well as the thoughtful service.
For anyone seeking a quiet nook away from Jakarta’s relentless pace to savor exceptional coffee with character, Tanagodang Coffee is a must-visit. Its blend of authenticity, intimate ambiance, and true coffee craftsmanship makes it a rewarding experience that keeps guests coming back again and again.

I like the place, quiet, chill music ambient, good coffee (I ordered V60 single origin coffee and taste good) and welcome barista. Nice place for work/meeting, or if you wanted to be alone.

Small cosy cafe in Dharmawangsa. The place itself is quite small and has limited seating, and parking can be difficult to find. Price felt slightly on the higher side, the food and signature coffee were just nothing particularly special. The overall vibe is fine, but it felt a bit crowded and not very comfortable during my visit. There's only one toilet, and there are both smoking and non-smoking indoor areas. Service was average, not rude, but not especially welcoming either. Overall, it's an okay spot if you're nearby, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit again.

One of the hidden gems in South Jakarta. With good & quick service, the price is affordable. The coffee is exceptionally good, brought directly from North Sumatera, where the owner of the cafe is reportedly own a coffee plantation. Try the Kopi Tubruk (local, unfiltered version of Americano), served in a cup made from coconut shell. However the cafe is quite small. Recommended

Small but cozy coffee shop accross once so called Pelaspas Dharmawangsa. Their coffee taste was good. They claimed that their coffee beans came from Tapanuli (North Sumatera Mandailing Bean). They’ll provide you with smoking and non smoking room. There is also clean toilet inside the shop. Price was indeed pricey . Parking spot is limited because there was no dedicated parking spot. You have to park your car in the road in front of the shop but the road was narrow.

this has easily become my new favorite coffee shop! even though it looks small from the outside, it fits quite a few people inside. you can also sit outside if you prefer and enjoy the view. the coffee is great, it has a distinct taste. the place is cozy, the toilet is clean. the only minus would be the limited parking space for cars, but if you use public transport, motorcycle, or bike, you'll be fine!
