Ruang Seduh (brewing room) is a small, yet stylish coffee shop in the southern part of town not far from Prawirotaman. They do a range of fantastic espresso coffee drinks as well as some tea which rival some of the better coffee shops in Bandung and Jakarta (they actually have an outlet in Jakarta as well).
I tried a cappuccino and the milk was steamed and textured to perfection and the coffee taste was quite strong. A double shot? Not sure, but it was awesome anyway. Susan had the loose leaf green tea and she enjoyed that too. Can’t really get too excited about tea, right?
The fitout of the cafe is very simple, but whoever designed it has an eye for what looks good. Lots of white and a large polished concrete floor which puts most of Bandung and Jakarta’s coffee shop interiors to shame.
Prices here are high. I kind of object to paying Rp35.000 for a coffee outside of Jakarta. And for that reason alone I don’t rate this place as highly as I otherwise would. The price is just that steep.
Aside from the steep price, everything else about this coffee shop is awesome. Definitely worth a try if you’re interested in coffee shop hopping in Yogyakarta. When I tested the wifi it went at 10mbps down and 1mpbs up.
