1. Wedang Kopi Prambanan

Wedding Kopi Prambanan is one of Jogja’s famous restaurants and a great place to feel the taste of traditional Javanese. Fun fact the restaurant was once visited by the Minister of Finance, Sri Mulyani in the past. Interesting right?

Wedang Prambanan Coffee can be found on Jalan Prambanan, Manisrenggo 16. The location is only 200 meters to the east of the Prambanan Temple complex. From the Prambanan Temple, we must pass two traffic lights. At the first traffic light, we take the straight direction, we turn left at the second traffic light. After that, just keep going for about 1 km until you find a sign like a photo above. For more specific locations, you can click here.

The place is quite large with four joglo in it. I think the place is cool for a kind of family gathering, reunion, and the like. Parking is also quite extensive. Here there are toilets and prayer rooms. So, you can break the fast together~

Prambanan Coffee Wedang is open every day from 10:00 to 21:30. But it is suggested that if you want to have a beautiful way of enjoying coffee, come around 3:00 PM until sunset, so you can have coffee while watching the sunset.

Besides coffee, the food and snacks that are sold here are still traditional. Some of the foods recommended at Prambanan Coffee Shop are chicken rice and sour vegetables, tempeh garit, garang tamarind, boiled cassava, various satay, and others

2. Jiwa Jawi

Jiwa Jawi is a unique Javanese traditional restaurant because it has a concept of Homestyle restaurant but is located in the forest. The restaurant provides a place that is far from the hustle and bustle of urban areas.

Jiwa Jawi Resto is located at Banyutemumpang RT 01, Bangunjiwo, Kasihan, Bantul, DIY. It’s faster and easier if we go from the direction of the city of Yogyakarta to Bantul Street, then go in the direction of Kasongan and continue straight until we find a signpost with the words Jiwa Jawi on the right side of the road. If you have found the signpost, you just need to go in following the plain instructions to find the parking space that has been provided. For more specific locations, you can click here.

Remember, park your vehicle neatly, then don’t forget to put a helmet on if you use a motorcycle, and don’t forget to lock the door and close the window if you are using a car.

If you have parked the vehicle, immediately enter the road down a little, and enter through the door on the right. But be careful, don’t be too hasty, because you have to cross a small bridge in front of the entrance of Jiwa Jawi Resto.

The food menu that is worth trying is the Kecombrang Chicken Shrimp typical of Bali. The rice menu with side dishes of shredded chicken, kecombrang, megono vegetables, and anchovy is so delicious and has become one of JiwaJawi’s favorite menus. The other menu is Asem-asem Iga typical Demak with a slightly acidic sauce which is perfect to be enjoyed as a lunch menu. For a snack menu, the Sambal Dabu Seafood Mushroom Croquette can also be an option as a companion to the main food menu. For the beverage menu available, Klambir Latte is the best seller drink menu in JiwaJawi. Basic coffee drinks combined with coconut cream are served cold so it is suitable to be enjoyed during the daytime heat. Another drink menu that is worth a try is Kawista. The menu is processed from Kawista fruit, a typical fruit of Rembang city that has a unique and refreshing taste.
