Yes, good news coffee lovers! Starbucks Indonesia’s 15th Anniversary has just taken place last Wednesday (May 17, 2017) at the newly renovated Starbucks Plaza Senayan and is now transformed into Starbucks Reserve™. As you already know, coffee cafes are mushrooming since last year, and not only in Jakarta, but also spread to other big cities in Indonesia. This month, Starbucks Indonesia finally joined the wave and tried to give a new coffee experience with Reserve™ Bars at Starbucks Plaza Senayan with coffee at its core. To marks the 15 years of coffee leadership in Indonesia, with the addition of three stores with Reserve™ Bars in Jakarta, Starbucks Plaza Senayan became the first Starbucks in Indonesia to offer both the state-of-the-art Black Eagle espresso machine and cold brew.
Unlike other Starbucks stores, here you can feel a warm, and comfy modern ambiance with a local touch that features local craftsmanship that celebrates the artistry of Indonesia and Starbucks 46 years heritage in sourcing some of the finest coffees in the world. The coffee bar is designed to bring a closer connection between coffee, customer, and barista – inviting customers to explore new coffee experiences. When we walked into the store, they caught my attention immediately with a big ‘R’ logo inspired by batik tool or known as ‘canting cap’ made of copper, while an abstract wood carving depicts the romance of the coffee journey from farm to cup.
Of course, in celebration of Starbucks 15th Anniversary, all guests can enjoy free flow of coffee and canapes. We haven’t tried the manual brew coffee but we liked the mild taste of cold brew coffee with a bitter aftertaste served that day! You can find your favorites Frappe drinks, or Starbucks classic menu at this store, but if you’re coffee enthusiasts, you might want to try the rare, small-lot Reserve™ coffees from around the world, handcrafted espresso beverages: Starbucks Reserve™ Nicaragua La Roca, and Starbucks Reserve™ Costa Rica Vista Del Mar Yellow Honey. Various brewing techniques such as Pour-Over, Syphon, Chemex, French Press, and Cold Brew are available at Starbucks Reserve Plaza Senayan. Are you interested in trying? Last but not least, Happy 15th Anniversary again, and thank you Starbucks Indonesia for having us!
