Caturra Espresso

Caturra opened in 2015 as an offshoot of Monopole Coffee Lab, and grew into the larger, better positioned space on Jalan Anjasmoro that now carries the family name on its own. The owner holds a Q Grader license, and the bar runs single origin coffees through V60, French press, Chemex and cold drip alongside standard espresso, with staff who have placed among Indonesia's top ranked baristas.

White walls, black trim and wood tables fill a room lit mostly by glass windows and a run of ceiling panels, spread across roughly a hundred indoor and outdoor seats next to DMP Music. The kitchen keeps its food MSG free, running croissant sandwiches, fries and pasta plates alongside the coffee list.
