Writing Spot Review: Fillmore Coffee

I’ve talked about this place almost devoutly for months, but in case you didn’t know, Fillmore Coffee has got to be one of my favorite places in Jakarta, period.

There’s just something from the cafe’s relatively hidden location, the decor, and the ambience that appeal to me. The inclusion of ivy on the front window, for example, gave the place an almost rustic feel that I absolutely adore.

In fact, one of my friends used to take a language course there, in preparation for her studies abroad.

Being the bibliophile that I am, and being somewhat desperate in search of a new writing spot, the place instantly caught my interest.

Fortunately, one of my friends was also inclined to check the place out.
