Goedkoop - Warung Kopi Belanda

Goedkoop in Dutch means cheap. Warung Kopi Belanda means Dutch Coffee Shop. So, I guess the owners are trying to tell the customers that this place is a cheap Dutch coffee shop which I don't really think it is really cheap but yes, it is quite affordable.

The place has a nice and simple interior. For those who can not stand to smokers, maybe it's better not to come to this place because a lot of their customers smoke and there is no divider between smoking and non-smoking area.

Ice Koffie Bon Bon - Rp. 20.000 
Hot Koffie Bon Bon - Rp. 17.000
A double shot espresso with condense milk. A resemble of Vietnamese coffee but the taste for sure is so different than from the original Vietnamese coffee.

It supposedly thin bread toast with kaya jam and cheese but I didn't taste the cheese at all.

Pannekoek Apple en Caramel - Rp. 27.000
