Titik Temu Coffee in Cipete wins over onlookers and loyal patrons with the shop's breezy open-air design to go with its ever-dependable coffee picks and fusion grubs.

Outdoor spaces get the popular votes now when you’re out and about, and timely so, popular coffee shop Titik Temu Coffee lands itself a space in Cipete that embraces it. Marking its second outlet in the city, Titik Temu flaunts a beautiful open-air design, quickly winning over onlookers and loyal patrons with its breezy atmosphere and ever-dependable menu. 

Situated off the busy main street of Cipete Raya, the new site carries a different feel from its first outlet in the old school M Bloc Space. Designed in collaboration with local firms J+A Design and Platform Architect, the layout is laid out like a modern backyard, adorned with an amphitheatre-like seating and a semi-outdoor space that naturally become the area’s gathering points. So identifiable to Titik Temu’s outlets in Bali is the use of tiered platforms that translate as seatings, along with a long communal table that encourages customers to convene. 

Ultimately, patrons come for Titik Temu’s consistently good coffee and fusion grubs. Quality caffeinated offerings from the shop’s own roastery are not to be missed, but its embrace of Indonesian-based fusion menu is also worth the pick. Among the mains is the fulfilling Nasi Goreng Kecombrang Cipete, but there’s also an array of toast and sandwich should you prefer a different kind of hearty meal. Freshen up with non-coffee variants like Sunkist Boost smoothies, and close it off with the shop’s new dessert House Blend Coffee Tiramisu with lotus biscoff and cocoa powder.

Knowing the city’s unpredictable heat, some may not be comfortable with a space as open as Titik Temu Cipete, especially when one seeks to cool off in a ventilated space. But it is indeed a concept that will continue to see its value beyond trends, and with local enthusiasm that has followed since it opened last December, Titik Temu Coffee in Cipete is yet another ideal place to gather.
