Jakarta’s coffee scene has a new addition with the launch of %Arabica Jakarta Pondok Indah, which officially opened on Saturday, 5 July 2025. Located inside the stylish Pondok Indah Mall 2, this marks the brand’s ninth store in Indonesia—bringing its signature clean design and thoughtful coffee approach to one of South Jakarta’s busiest districts.
To celebrate the opening, %Arabica Jakarta Pondok Indah is introducing a few special treats. There’s a new set of pastries created just for this location—including savory options like a Sunny Breakfast of beef bacon croissant with egg, Sausage Roll, and Mushroom Quiches also Beef & Spinach Quiches, you can also find sweet bites like Pecan Pie, Blueberry Danish, and Raspberry Danish. Each pastry is made to go well with coffee, balancing flavor and texture for a satisfying combo.
A standout on the drink menu is the Seoul Latte. This new creation is a mix of single-origin coffee and oat milk, giving it the creamy feel of a latte but with a lighter taste. It’s only available at Pondok Indah for a limited-time, making it a must-try if you’re visiting this store. In addition to coffee, the store now offers cold-pressed juices for the first time. The choices—Green Detox (kale, lemon, cucumber), Beeterave (beetroot, apple, orange), and Carrotene (carrot, orange)—blend fruits and vegetables for a light, refreshing pick-me-up that complements the coffee without overpowering it.
“This new store opening at Pondok Indah is a continuation of our journey to bring beautifully crafted coffee experiences to more people—now enhanced with a curated menu exclusive to this location,” said Astrid Kusumadewi, General Manager of %Arabica Indonesia.
The store’s setup is all about simplicity and connection. Inside, there’s a bright white theme and open floor plan that gives the space a calm and spacious feel. But what really stands out is how the design links the indoors to the outdoors. There’s a slim pathway next to the kitchen that leads to a small outdoor seating area. A wooden pergola stretches across both parts of the store, with matching chairs and tables along the way. The lighting above the pergola creates a soft glow that feels the same whether you’re sitting inside or out—making it feel like one continuous, open space.
This design is the work of no.10, a Japanese studio known for giving %Arabica stores their signature clean look. The team has worked on several locations before, including ones in Bali and BSD. For Pondok Indah, they focused on making the space feel fresh but cozy, a quiet spot where people can pause and enjoy a moment to themselves.
