Homebound Coffee Kelapa Gading

A few days ago finally I had free time to enjoy Kelapa Gading. At one point there's one coffee shop that made me quite curious from they have open from day one and that was Homebound Coffee. Those yellow door in front of the house was the trademark.

Entering through this door, you will find only a few table and chair inside. BUT, a warm welcome by the owner made this tiny yet cozy place seems special. Personally for me, this place already made a good impression.

Nice place without good coffee isn't what we are looking for. So how about this place? Let's find out.

Using R58 Rocket Espresso machine for this cafe and its already enough to perform well to run the show. They are using blend from Jack Runner Roastery (totally forgot what inside) to serve our coffee based. Thanks to Mr. Syarif Wahyudi for gave me a free espresso (20k) to try! Yep! It was pretty good with mid-body and bittersweet aftertaste.

From the manual brew (35k) sections they offered me several of local and international beans to enjoy. One of it was in Black Honey process, it just so rare to find these kind of coffee beans so I just straight to choose it. By the way it was a local beans from West Java (if I'm not mistaken) and again I forgot the origin of that beans. Actually, that was my first time enjoying coffee from black honey process and it went pretty well! The flavor was intense with dominant sweet like snakeskin fruit.

Another one that you need to try is the Iced Choco Malt Coffee (30k). Basically it was espresso and chocolate milk, layered of those two liquids just made good sensations. Bitter taste of espresso from your first sip then lighten by the sweet of choco milk. Pretty interesting!

If you guys need to get savory food for your taste bud, this place has another something special to offer and of course their famous Pempek. I just don't know why everyone who already came to this place highly recommending their pempek to order. So I gave a try, it taste good, chewy and crisp (especially Kulit Pempek).
