Gandaria slows before the rest of the city remembers to.
Why GANDARIA, why now
Gandaria in South Jakarta has been gaining specialty coffee and dining buzz in 2026, anchored by spots like One Fifteenth Coffee and Vilo Gelato & Coffee's greenhouse-concept outlet, alongside Kopi Kalyan Archive on nearby Cikajang. It sits between the already-covered Senopati and Cipete clusters, surfacing a genuinely fresh slice of the city.
1. Canda Koffie
- 13, Jl. H. Nawi Raya No.45c, RT.13/RW.2, Gandaria Utara, Kec. Kby. Baru, Kota Jakarta Selatan, Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta 12420
- 4.7 · 390 reviews · Cafe
Canda Koffie opens the course because the day needs a slow center before you decide what the rest of it looks like. It sits in the Haji Nawi pocket, part of the Gandaria strip that surfaced this year alongside the bigger coffee names on Cikajang. The crew routes every course around what opens when, and this cafe holds the morning logic: arrive before you commit to anything else.

The door glows softer than the street behind you.

2. Lithium Rooftop
- Jl. Radio Dalam Raya No.17, RT.7/RW.10, Gandaria Utara, Kec. Kby. Baru, Kota Jakarta Selatan, Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta 12140
- 4.6 · 40 reviews · Rooftop Bar
Lithium Rooftop closes the course because the city looks different three floors up after the sun drops. The crew picks night stops that let you stay as long as you want without the route pushing you forward. Gandaria keeps its rooftop quieter than Senopati, and this one gives you the option to settle or leave without the neighborhood deciding for you.
Crew's note
The stools face away from everything. Sit.

The walk between
The stretch between Haji Nawi and the rooftop cuts through the Gandaria corridor that connects the specialty coffee wave to the older residential blocks. You'll pass the greenhouse outlets and archive cafes the scout research flagged, the strip that makes this neighborhood worth routing in 2026.
- Plan stop one for mid-morning when the cafe rhythm is steadiest, not the early rush or the lunch crossover.
- The rooftop works best after full dark when the city lights settle and you can decide how long the night runs without the next stop waiting.
FAQ
- How does pricing feel across both stops?
- Canda Koffie runs accessible, with an Americano and fried banana landing around 50,000 Rupiah total based on what regulars order. The rooftop bar sits in the affordable-cocktails range according to visitors, though we don't have exact menu numbers.
- Does the rooftop take reservations, or is it walk-in?
- Visitor chatter suggests walk-in works most nights, with live sports screenings drawing predictable weekend crowds. Parking is tight according to multiple mentions, so plan for street options or a ride drop.
