Lektur (Coffee Shop)

if you're the kind of person who needs a few hours away from the noise of central jakarta, tebet timur dalam has a particular rhythm to it, quieter and more residential than the busier corridors to the north. lektur sits on jl. tebet timur dalam raya, which is exactly the kind of street where you end up staying longer than you planned. the locals who come here regularly keep coming back, and that kind of loyalty in a city with this many options isn't something that happens by chance. specialty coffee in south jakarta has gotten serious over the past few years, and lektur is part of why. whatever you order, the afternoon slot on a weekday is probably the move.
