Old blocks that forgot to modernize. Still good.
Why CIKAJANG, why now
The Cikajang street strip in South Jakarta's Petogogan/Kebayoran Baru area has gone viral in 2026 as a concentration of new minimalist cafes including Kopi Kalyan, Moku Matcha, and Ombé Kofie, tagged by creators as a must-visit cafe destination in Jakarta Selatan this year.
1. Ombé Kofie Cikajang
- Jl. Cikajang No.63 7, RT.7/RW.5, Petogogan, Kec. Kby. Baru, Kota Jakarta Selatan, Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta 12170
- 4.6 · 1148 reviews · Local Food
Ombé Kofie opens the course because mornings on this strip need a place that lets you sit long enough to decide what the rest of the route looks like. The cafe sits inside the new minimalist wave Cikajang is known for this year, so you're starting exactly where the neighborhood is trending. It's a day stop with enough menu range to cover breakfast or just coffee, which means you can calibrate hunger before committing to the second half.

Years since my first time coming here, noted it a fav instantly. Ombe Latte is exceptionally perfect for my taste! Very comforting
A very chill and relaxing place to hang out, with a cool and comfortable environment. The laid-back atmosphere is complemented by easy-liste…
2. Sate Kudapan
- Jl. R.Patah III No.3-7, RT.2/RW.1, Selong, Kec. Kby. Baru, Kota Jakarta Selatan, Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta 12110

Sate Kudapan closes the route because satay works better after you've had time to build an appetite, and this one runs a red spice profile instead of the usual peanut sauce, so it reads as lunch or early dinner rather than a snack. The location sits behind the Al Azhar Mosque, just off the main cafe strip, which gives the course a natural end point away from the minimalist aesthetic. It's the kind of spot that makes sense once you've already spent a few hours in the neighborhood and want something that tastes like the older blocks around it.

THE REAL HIDDEN GEM!!
Good taste new taste
The walk between
The walk keeps you on or near the Cikajang strip, moving from the new cafe cluster toward the quieter blocks behind Al Azhar Mosque. You'll pass more of the minimalist storefronts the area went viral for, then the street opens up a bit as you get closer to the satay spot.
- Start at Ombé Kofie mid-morning if you want the cafe without the laptop crowd, then time Sate Kudapan for when you're actually ready to eat, not just graze.
- The two stops give you a clean toggle between the trending minimalist cafe vibe and something closer to neighborhood clockwork, so don't rush the walk between them.
FAQ
- Does this course work if I'm only in the area for a few hours?
- Yes, the two stops are on the same street corridor and cover the core of what Cikajang is trending for in 2026 without stretching your window. You can finish the route in a half-day and still have time to move on to another neighborhood if your schedule is tight.
- Is parking available at both stops?
- Sate Kudapan has free parking near the mosque according to visitors who've driven there. Ombé Kofie sits on the main strip, so you'll want to check for street or nearby lot options when you arrive.
