Me and my husband loves coffee so much. We love a place where we can chill, relax, and have a good coffee and breakfast / snacks. So that will be quite challenging when we know we are going to live in Langkawi where finding that particular cafe (coffee shop) is not as easy in Jakarta, Bali, and Singapore.

Closer to Seto's weekly day off, I'm sinking myself to read and research places in this entire island on internet, Google, Instagram, Tripadvisor. Finding the nice cafe to hop on.

That morning, when I felt not really well due to my bad flu (still happening when I write this post), we decided to just drive the car wherever it took us, hahah. Seriously man! We run out of breakfast choices here. Malay serves nasi lemak (like nasi uduk 'not as good as our nasi uduk') and nasi campur (like nasi padang / warteg) as their breakfast, it's too much for us also only yup the local breakfast variety is not much. When in Indonesia we usually had our bubur ayam, ketoprak, soto ayam, pecel, lontong sayur, etc. While when we lived in Singapore we can had a simply light butter kaya toast, the cheap, easy and filling one! 

So when we just going around, passed all the shophouses, suddenly we found 3 PM Dessert Cafe. I know it sounds more into afternoon cafe kindalike. But hmm, let's try since the light green wall painted shop house with the with bicycle with wicker basket already attracted me.

I thought we were about to find only a list of slice cake menu. But hey, we found a banana cinnamon toast, mushroom soup, waffle, pancake, sandwiches, nasi lemak, spaghetti, etc as their menu instead (I think even good also for brunch or lunch). The menu choices was nice.

Highlight of the day was the mushroom soup which had so fragrant taste, I never had mushroom soup as great as this. Usually mushroom soup is just plain one without the herbs, but here they gave rosemary and a dash of black pepper and a few of others ingredients which all made me said alhamdulillah alhamdullilah alhamdullilah, thank you Allah for the good food I eat at this moment  (sounds I'm exaggerate it, but order this and let me know, K?)

It was so comforting for my flu body. Seriously this is the must order, it comes with the garlic bread.

When comes to coffee, we didn't have expectation because we know already the coffee in Langkawi. Ahahah. Surprisingly when my cappuccino came, then it's great enough for us. It's a good coffee, with a pretty hand skilled of heart latte art that they gave me. We loved it :D

The place had a pretty girly interior, a combination of scandinavian and industrial with lot's of catchy decorations. Colorful cushions, white wall, wooden table, looking real artificial plants, lots of frames. And some touch of bohemian from the rattan lamp shade (which I've been hunting for my house), and the big macrame.

They just opened 2 weeks in this location, however 3 PM is already existed since 3 years ago just behind Bellis Spa. They said they moved here because it's bigger place. And when I opened their Facebook page they changed some menu which I can say better.

Thank you for the nice place around our neighbourhood. Finding cafe in Kuah is seriously something now. Or hmm should we just open our own coffee shop combine with yoga studio in Kuah area? Wohoo, any Malaysian want to partner up (or invest) with us? ;)

Kalau tinggal di Jakarta, having that kind of moment bisa dibilang jarang banget karena sekalinya ada kafe kopi semacam itu letaknya gak mudah diakses dari rumah dan takes more 30 minutes to get there aduh keburu makan siang. Nah waktu saya singgah ke Jakarta kemarin karena jadwal urus segala macam yang padat membuat saya seharian gak minum kopi dan saya bertekad "Pokoknya besok pagi gw harus ngafe, sarapan!" Sayapun Google kafe kopi di sekitaran Kelapa Gading namun karena gak percaya sama apa yang ditampilkan Google karena alasan yang saya sebtkan di atas (banyak kafe yang gak menyajikan kopi enak tapi cuma menang tempat bagus doang), sayapun bertanya dengan teman saya yang memang berdomisili di area Kelapa Gading. Dia menyebutkan sederet daftar kafe kopi yang lagi-lagi saya cross check di Google (untuk melihat review atau tulisan blog orang-orang) dan Instagram untuk melihat seberapa hype tempatnya berikut penyajian kopinya, visual tempat seperti apa plus pakai biji kopi dan mesin kopi apa yang mereka gunakan. Terima kasih Instagram sekarang kalau mau research tempat is so easy on the tip of your thumb!

Akhirnya saya memutuskan untuk ke Copper Club Specialty Coffee, sebuah kafe kopi bernuansa sangat homey berlantai 2 yang agak sedikit tersembunyi dari hiruk pikuk kemacetan ruko-ruko di jalan utama Kelapa Gading. Awal masuk kesini saya surprised karena lingkungannya yang tidak begitu awam, biasanya jika saya hang out di area Kelapa Gading pasti cuma di sekitar ruko-ruko itu aja. Namun berbeda dengan kedai kopi ini yang menyulap rumah tempat tinggal jadi tempat ngopi syahdu yang nyaman banget. Karena lokasinya yag lebih ke area pemukiman warga mungkin parkir agak sedikit jadi kendala beda dengan kafe kopi dalam mall atau sekitar ruko-ruko Kelapa Gading biasanya.

Ini tempat ngopi selera saya banget, bright, copper, rattan, white, wooden, concrete wall-floor, and very green! Plants are everywhere. Tentunya banyak spot yg Instagramable yang bisa di eskplor. Setiap sudutnya lovely! #amandaapproved. It's so spacious, really. Very comfortable for private event seperti bridal or baby shower yang gemas-gemas itu. Pertama kali masuk berasa there's something I can recall from this coffee shop. Hmm apa ya, sambil menikmati interior dan screening di segala penjuru dan menemukan (I think the owner) barista training course completion from Common Man Coffee Roasters. Ah yess got it, ini ambiancenya mirip-mirip CMCR, coffee shop favorit saya waktu di Singapura dulu.

Seating area yang juga banyak macam dari single stool yang diperuntukkan buat single customer  (maksudnya customer yang datang sendiri bukan customer single alias jomblo hahah) yang dilengkapi dengan wall socket cocok buat kerja ngejar deadline, 2-3 seating buat meeting kecil-kecilan atau quality time berduaan aja seperti yang saya lakukan dengan ibu saya, dan sofa set empuk kapasitas 4-5 orang yang pas kalau mau ngopi se-gank.

First time I saw when I entered the place was their free refill water station which is so great! Saya ngobrol dengan staf-nya dan menganjurkan untuk ikutan Refill My Bottle demi Indonesia yang zero waste. Hahaha :) Breakfast with mission. Semoga disampaikan dan terwujud. Seneng kalau ada kafe dengan konsep-konsep eco-friendly seperti ini since they already serve their iced coffee with their copper stainless straw instead of the disposable plastic one and have puck initiative like this. Kedai kopi lain membagikan gratis kepada para customer yang membutuhkan biasanya untuk scrub atau pupuk. Namun Copper Club mengharuskan customer bayar sebesar IDR 10.000 untuk mengambil puck yang telah dikeringkan ini sepuasnya dengan paper bag yang mereka sediakan. Hmm kalau mau #zerowaste bisa bawa wadah sendiri juga harusnya ya, hehe. Biaya yang kita bayarkan ini akan 100% diberikan untuk donasi. Plus they did't print the receipt but send the e-receipt which they send to my email. OMG thank you for that, thank you for helping me eliminate my trash. How cool is that. So happy finding F&B business like this. Hope I can have one someday!
