This place sits right in Prawirotaman, the backpacker zone of Jogja, and honestly, the food hits the spot.
The only catch: the space is pretty tight and the portions run on the smaller side. But hey, the price point makes sense.
If you want a smoother experience, avoid coming during peak meal times. It gets packed fast, and the waiting list can be a buzzkill.

“Hidden Café Vibes”
Tucked inside a small alley right next to Circle K, this café is easy to miss but trust me, the coffee fully delivers. It’s the kind of spot that clicks for anyone who appreciates a quiet, laid-back corner to unwind.

“Good Coffee, Busy Vibes”
This coffee shop has plenty of branches, and the coffee is solid across the board. But if you’re chasing a quiet corner, this isn’t the place, it’s usually buzzing with people.
I mostly swing by for a quick to-go order, an...

“Chill Spot That’s Actually a Small Hotel”
I found this place because of the coffee shop first, super quiet, comfy vibes, and the coffee is pretty decent. Turns out it’s actually a small hotel.
If you’re planning to stroll around Malioboro or nearb...
Cana Coffee
Studio Laundry has tons of branches, but not all of them come with a coffee shop.
I’m a big fan though, getting around 15 kg of laundry done for under $2 is a total win. Super convenient, budget-friendly, and perfect for quick turnarounds.
Wazfun Laundry Studio
This is a small café tucked a bit off the main path. If you’re tired of the crowded hangout spots around Alun-Alun Kidul (Alkid) Jogja, this place is the perfect escape. Cozy vibes, great coffee, and .... best part...it’s wonderfully quiet.
Soema Coffee
Another day, another tiny coffee shop that turns out to be a guest house. The coffee’s good, they serve proper meals too, and the location is spot-on, just a 350-meter walk to the Taman Sari culinary area. Super convenient if you’re exploring on foot...
FX Stay - Guest House around Taman Sari
Stumbled on this little roadside coffee spot while aimlessly roaming around.
The coffee? Surprisingly amazing. The place is small, but it’s the perfect pit stop to cool off when your legs are begging for a break.

Little Aresha Daycare
This spot serves full-set Indonesian turmeric rice, just pick your sides and you’re good to go. The rice is soft, flavorful, and very Jogja-style. It’s located near Malioboro, in the small alley to the left of Pasar Pathuk.
No dine-in, and the weeke...
Nasi Kuning Muna Cung - Indonesian Yellow / Turmeric Rice
It’s mainly a chocolate shop, but they also do ice cream, the lemongrass and butterfly pea flavors are my top-tier. There’s a sandy play area out front that gives off mini-beach vibes, perfect for kids. It’s close to Prawirotaman, so don’t forget to ...
