A Djournal to Revisit: Djournal Coffee Grand Indonesia.
So I have a new coffee shop crush, it is Djournal Coffee from Ismaya Group. Anyway, I have reviewed this coffee shop before, one which located in Summarecon Mal Serpong 2 and incase you miss it, you can read the review HERE.
I've been anticipating about this coffee shop release in Grand Indonesia because I often go to Grand Indonesia (literally at least once every week) and everytime I pass this, I notice the construction is getting better and better, and as what I get to experience for myself last week, I think I just fell in love <3.
I love the atmosphere of this coffee shop! Maybe I was a little carried away by the rain since it was raining pretty mild and it tends to be a little cold inside and I was single (NOT RELEVANT!) aaaa..no, I'm joking. Seriously this place gets kinda cold during the night and I love cold places so I have no problem. It's just better to be in a cold place rather than a hot place.
The difference between the the outlet here and the one in SMS 2 is slightly the area, I personally think the SMS2's outlet is the bigger one, but overall I find the Grand Indonesia outlet more comfortable to stay around, it's just the perfect size, they play nice musics and seriously, I love a coffee shop that's surrounded by the smell of brewed coffee, it's just amazing and addicting. I also love the fact that this coffee shop in Grand Indonesia is more private-feeling rather than the one in SMS 2 which seems like more opened.
I got seated just beside the window with a perfect outdoor view and it was raining and I adore rain, I think it's somehow a miracle.
"There's something about the way, the street looks when it's just rained" - Taylor Swift "Fearless".
They have the cutest menu design ever. Almost the same concept of Anomali's only with a touch of their creativity.
This is the summary of what we (I came with my sister) ordered that night.
Left to right: Iced Salted Caramel, Hazelnut Nutella Cake, Iced Caramel Macchiato with whipped cream <3.
First of all, let me just tell you that THEY HAVE DROP DEAD GORGEOUS COFFEE. Slightly a bit strong in taste comparing to the brand 'x' I also do love (you know what I mean) and I think the champion for the night was the one and only Hazelnut Nutella Cake. During my visit to the SMS2's outlet, I also ordered the Nutella Cake, only different looking and taste. This one was titled with additional word of "Hazelnut" but if you ever tried the one is SMS2, it's not much different, almost the same.
Hazelnut Nutella Cake
IDR 28.000 (before tax)
I thought the texture on top of the cake surface is a chocolate powder, but it's totally a cripsy layer of something I'm not sure I can't explain, it's like a very thin crispy chocolate layer that melts in your mouth. What a genius!
Rich glimpse of delicious caramel sauce all over your caramel macchiato is such a genius one way guilty pleasure.
Iced Caramel Macchiato
IDR 39.000 (before tax)
Iced Salted Caramel
IDR 36.000
If you ask me what coffee to recommend having here, I would really recommend this over the Caramel Macchiato. I personally like this better than the CM, it's strong but not overpowering (since not everyone like very strong coffees) and this one is generally more friendly, sweeter and different :).
My date for the night, everyone says we look alike.
For those three treats, we spent around IDR 119k nett, a pretty good deal for an amazing coffee experience.
Djournal Coffee is certainly not a new coffee shop to underestimate, and they don't sell "outer look/physical appearance" you might probably fall in love with this coffee shop like me :)).
Thank you for reading! and if you have any comments about this coffee shop, do share your personal opinions and leave comments :D.

DJOURNAL COFFEE, Summarecon Mal Serpong 2
The highly anticipated coffee shop is now opening in Summarecon Mal Serpong 2, it is another invention from the food and beverages empire Ismaya group, well for me, personally, everytime I am aware that Ismaya group is the background of the restaurant or the venue, I know it won't be disappointing, but how about now? I'm going to give the review based on the two recommended menu by the baristas: iced caramel macchiato and nutella cake.
NUTELLA CAKE
Can I just conclude this? I worship the Nutella cake, I think it's a very succesful invention and I love how the softness of the creme layer blends with the chocolate sponge cake and the nutella itself, my most favorite part would be that crunchy layer underneath the cake, it totally gives a nice contrast to the meal and I lvoe the fact that even though it's stereotypically chocolate, but it isn't too sweet. MUST TRY!
It is retailed for 28.000/slice - before tax.
ICED CARAMEL MACCHIATO
This is the second attempt of the anticipated coffee shop's product, so does Ismaya happen to disappoint or indeed please the costumers? AGAIN. YES IT DOES. This caramel macchiato is a total to foe to Starbucks' original iced caramel macchiato. For me, Djournal's CM tastes lighter than Starbucks, maybe since I'm using non-fat milk, but I just love how the caramel really blends with both the coffee and milk. My perception of a great coffee is when you feel like it's a total friend with your tounge and you don't have that strong stink almost acid like that left over from every sip. This is a total delightful coffee drink, you need to try. I was wondering about making comparisons of both the products since for me, this is the best two. Stay tuned for the upcoming posts.
Retailed for 40.000 (large cup) - before tax.
If you haven't been here, I suggest you walk over here and have those two that I gave review at, I can guarantee an amazing coffee experience in a slightly comfortable venue. I'm kinda excited about the one at Grand Indonesia, but it isn't open yet.
