They hit the mark, every single one of them: the food is delicious, healthy options, plenty and comes fast. The service is amongst the best I had: polite, quick, spot on. The location is nice, bright, open layout, minimalistic - kinda Scandinavian style. Great afternoon coffee cake options as well. Coffee is very good too. All in all more of a breakfast / brunch place. You might want to call ahead and reserve, they fill quickly in morning and at noon. Prices are of course slightly to the higher end, as to expect with a place of this quality. #indonesiatrip #localfood #afternoonteatime

As I walked into this café, I was taken aback by the beauty of art and creativity demonstrated in the smallest of things, from the light bulbs to glasses to seatings, wall motifs and most of all the 'restroom/toilet'. I was greeted by the owner (wife of the artist) who was extremely sweet and courteous. The café is nothing less than a museum of art and mesmerizing photographs that take you back in time to the streets of Yogyakarta and bird market. A must try is the 'sultan pink tea' which is a speciality. A perfect place to take a break from the city tour and recharge yourself. Compliments to the talented owner. Wish there could be more café/ restaurants like these around the globe. #urbanexplorer #besttrip #roadtrip
