Wijen coffee
Located in the heart of Yogyakarta, Wijen Coffee is a captivating café that invites you into a world where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee meets the warmth of home. Tucked away on Jl. Gedongan Baru, this charming establishment embraces the spirit of slow living, making it the perfect spot for quiet conversation, deep discussions, or simply enjoying a moment of solitude with a splendid cup of coffee.
As you step inside, you'll be enveloped by a cozy ambiance that encourages you to stay awhile. The café is lovingly run by a husband-and-wife duo who not only serve coffee but also craft delightful homemade pastries. Their passion for coffee is evident as they roast their own beans, allowing guests to experience a truly unique range of flavors, from nutty and sweet to beautifully balanced brews.
Customers rave about the rich and aromatic Single Origin Filter Coffee that is carefully prepared to accentuate its natural notes. As one satisfied customer, Daniel Sasongko, puts it, it’s a "soulful cup of filtered coffee" that beckons. For those in search of a creamy indulgence, the Hot Cappuccino emerges as a surprising favorite, praised by Sella Enoviana for its delightful nutty aftertaste. Pair your cup with one of their famous pastries—be it the heavenly Crème Brûlée or the beautifully crafted Tiramisu—and you’ll find each bite complements the coffee perfectly.
For those who may prefer a chilled option, the café offers a refreshing Cold Brew that captures the essence of coffee in a revitalizing manner. Here, the experience goes beyond just coffee; it becomes a journey through the flavors. Caecilia Purnamasari appreciates the café's focus on quality over quantity, noting that while sugar isn’t served, the attention to brewing methods makes the coffee enjoyable even to those who might be new to coffee drinking.
Wijen Coffee also caters to a variety of tastes with their non-coffee options, such as Strawberry Milk and Matcha, providing something for everyone in the group. The couple’s hospitality shines through in every interaction, as noted by Putri Suargana, who emphasizes the homey feel and the engaging conversations with the owner. The intimate setting of the café makes it an ideal spot for heart-to-heart talks or simply enjoying a slow-paced afternoon with friends.
While Wijen Coffee may not boast a parking facility, this only enhances its appeal for those seeking an authentic local experience. A motorcycle ride to this haven is all that's required to enjoy the soothing atmosphere and high-quality brews. So, if you’re in Yogyakarta, take a moment to escape the hustle and bustle and find solace in the comforting embrace of Wijen Coffee. It’s not just a café; it’s a community hub where every sip tells a story.
