Tavla Coffee and Space

Serpong never sleeps. Oops sorry, perhaps needs to revise it a bit to Serpong coffee shop never sleeps. Yes, seems like the 'family' hasn't gotten tired to continuously expand, so welcome another new comer, Tavla Coffee!

They mention themselves as Coffee and Space, and in my opinion the phrase literally reflects its actual appearance since they only offer beverages and cozy place to spend your lazy chilling time. If I have to describe the design in a single word, it'll be minimalist. Plain walls, gloomy -colored furniture; nice one for relaxing the eyes and mind.

What arrived on the table today was the trio of Chocolate (IDR 34k), Latte (IDR 28k), and Cappuccino (IDR 28k). It's like having the lightest to the strongest drink in stages starting from the sweet and milky to the slightly bitter one. The first wasn't my type of Hot Chocolate as it's too milky while my preference was the bold one with strong kick of dark chocolate flavor.

Shifting to the caffeine series, I started with Latte which's also kinda too light for my taste bud. Well, the barista actually had initially mentioned that their beans were indeed medium-roast one so it would be pretty light. Hence, rather than blaming, it's better to move on to the one with stronger body, Cappuccino, the barista's favorite cup. Again and again, the barista made me fell in love with the flawless latte art gorgeously handcrafted by him, exactly the same thing happened with the prior two. Despite that I wished it to have slightly bolder coffee touch, the Cappuccino was a decent cup and might suit those who're not into dark-roasted coffee.
