TWO HANDS FULL AT 107 GARAGE ROOM - BANDUNG

Not too long ago, one of my favorite Bandung coffee shops chain, Two Hands Full, opened their a new branch of their Two Hands Full brand at Ciumbuleuit following their highly successful branch in Jalan Sukajadi, they call this outlet Two Hands Full Garage for it is located at the 107 Garage Room, a cross brand social space that host some of the coolest local food & fashion establishments under one roof.

THF Garage is way smaller than their Sukajadi outlet, but it's totally brighter with strong minimalist design character, and being a sucker for those, overall I might like the look of this outlet better than their Sukajadi outlet which is always overly packed, luckily on my last visit to Bandung, it rains almost all the time so the weather was a bit cool and I enjoyed chilling at the communal semi-outdoor area where everyone can sit around the wood stairs almost like a mini park.

I might never reviewed their previous outlet on the blog, but if you've been following me on Instagram or Snapchat, I have always raved about how good their coffee and brunch here, so can I just say that generally the coffees that you're seeing here are really good with good amount of body character, aromatic and creamy. Price range for their coffee here is from IDR 30k, but one thing that I NEVER SKIP when coming to THF is definitely their chai latte. THEY SERIOUSLY MAKE THE BEST CHAI LATTE EVER!

Hot cappuccino

BOMB! Iced Chai Latte with Soymilk - IDR 26k. What I love the most about their chai latte is probably because it's not overly milky (I am talking about the non-soy version of it), it's sweet, creamy and I found that the amount of herb is good enough (some might like it stronger), and the soy they're using just elevated the flavor and made it way more delicious to my liking! SO YES TO THA SOY!!!

Nutella Toast
Nothing out of the world special, toast and Nutella should always be safe, but I like how they cook the brioche bread to have this semi-crispy texture and moist in the same time.

Smoothie Bowl
I did not try this as it's my friend's order, but she said it's quite delicious.

MIMITI COFFEE AND SPACE - BANDUNG

The new coffee shops in Bandung has been personally special when it comes to their design, I see that some of the new ones that I went were designed with good effort, and from the eyes of a customer like myself, I am liking them because they're just my kind of design for a coffee shop: simple, homey, neat with a bit of Western vibe and altogether beautiful. I previously talked about the hype 180 Coffee and Music, and here's another good one: MIMITI COFFEE AND SPACE.

Mimiti (which by the way means "start" or "beginning") is located at Karangsari area (next to Gigglebox cafe) and technically not a spacious coffee shop, but the highlight of this coffee shop/concept store is definitely the how well it is designed that when you see it as an overall, it stands out beautifully. Most of the seatings are located at the al-fresco area but they do have a small indoor seating (like 6 people capacity only) inside their concept store. 

I seriously love the earthy concept they're trying to pull off here with majority wood and concrete furniture and a space that's being covered with the green beauties.

At the moment, there's no heavy food available in Mimiti and they concentrate on serving coffees with small pastry selections, most of the coffees are available only "hot" and the only menu that's chilled is the Iced Latte (IDR 35k) which I had and it was decent. I am never the manual brew guy so I couldn't really comment on that, but my friend said it was just ok as well. Average price of coffee drinks here is around IDR 30k.

I don't know how to make this post longer because there really is not so much to say about Mimiti and I have described everything out for you. I think that the place is so on point and simple without much umimportant and rather annoying details, service was good and friendly, I like the coffee better than 180 (based on my visit) but not the best one (better go to Jack Runner for better coffee). I think people would go here to enjoy the ambiance and take tons of shameless OOTD pictures (this would make a perfect spot and backdrop by the way).

Thank you for reading.

180 COFFEE AND MUSIC - BANDUNG (SHORT REVIEW & OVERVIEW GALLERY)

What's up internet? Welcome the fuck back to my blog and I just came back from my short Bandung trip with my great foodie friends! Well it might be short but a much needed respite and we did what we did best: EAT EAT AND EAT! We did some cafe hoppings but we were not being ambitious and went crazy with visiting tons of them, it was actually quite chill. I will post some of the new cafes here in my blog for reference and hopefully I can finish everything by the end of the week. Everytime I see these travel folders in my desktop I feel like they're haunting me & shout "homework homework homework" *sigh*.

Our very first stop was this very highly recommended new coffee shop by A LOT OF YOU on Snapchat, I looked at the chats and literally 80% of you mentioned about this so I think this should be in. It's the highly buzzed 180 Coffee and Music in Jalan Ganesha just across Warung Pasta and around the Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) complex. From outside, the cafe looks like a regular spacious home with garden in front of it, but everything will drastically turn to a whole new something as soon as you step inside.

THIS IS WHAT MAKES THIS CAFE STANDS OUT FROM THE CROWD!

The interior of the cafe rings minimalist, industrial and homey in the same time with coffee, salad and sandwich bar in the center of the cafe. I honestly pictured the cafe to be more spacious (because I googled the cafe before actually coming here), nevertheless loving the design very much! The thing that makes this cafe stands out from the crowd is their one of a kind dining concept where guests are more than welcome to sit and enjoy their food at the pool area literally ON THE FREAKING POOL as far as there are available seats.

I can honestly see the good amount of effort they spend on building this cafe, the attention to details were quite impressive.

Coffee might be their specialty here, but they also have good range of Western comfort food such as soups, healthy salads, light bites, pastas, pizzas, Asian delights, brunch menus, sandwiches, baked and grilled cuisine and desserts! For the drinks, besides coffee they also have selections of tea, tropical mojito, soda drinks, healthy juice and chocolate drinks. You can indulge on common coffee selections ranging from espresso to Butterscotch coffee, Vietnamese coffee and Avocado coffee. Price range for food ranges from IDR 20k-60k and coffee around IDR 25k.

I was not overly hungry that morning so I didn't have breakfast and grabbed a quick coffee instead (the iced cappuccino was not bad at all but not out of the world good). However, my friends did eat from their all day breakfast menu -> HERE and HERE and according to them the food wasn't bad.

I was quite surprised to find out that they're actually using the Slayer espresso machine for their coffee here just like the one %ARABICA Hong Kong used. It's one of the most expensive espresso machines to date!

They also have the second floor that host more seating capacity, live stage for performers and open rooftop area. Again, another simple yet good design that's pleasing to the eye.

I looked at some pictures online and I saw that they actually seemed quite romantic and posh at night too (like totally different ambiance). It was around 9 AM when we arrived, luckily there wasn't a lot people around so I could still freely take pictures, but the place quickly got full house in around 30 minutes and packed with people dining and taking pictures around. If you want that empty interior shots do come as early as 8 AM (their opening hour). I am not sure about bookings because a cafe that packed might not take reservations at all times at the moment, but you may try tho phone number's below.

Thank you for reading!
