Hello good people on hive...

Every time you come to a cafe, it is not difficult to find a coffee shop with lots of books in it. This proves that Indonesian people's interest in reading is not as low as data has reported. Many people like to read, the proof is that there are many books by Indonesian authors such as Leila S Chudori, Pramoedya, and other pop authors who have written and published books up to several times.
Back to the coffee shop that has a mini library, this coffee shop can be found in Taman One Satrio. I know this because my friend once uploaded a post in this coffee so that made me interested in seeing what the interior is like.
So let me just show you…
Let's get it!

When you stop by this cafe on a dark day, don't be surprised if you don't get a strategic seat. I even waited for a few minutes to get the seat I really wanted—I'll show you later.
This coffee is the same as other coffee books that provide many menus besides coffee. I chose to stop by not only because I was curious about the interior and what books they provided—but also because I wanted to have dinner. So it was perfect for stopping by and waiting for the rain to stop outside.
The concept of Coffee Shops in my country is indeed filled with minimalist styles by emphasizing the concept of uniformity in terms of furniture and spacious layouts. Likewise with this Coffee Shop Friends with Bru, you can see how the design and interior of this cafe are very pleasing to the eye.

This is the vibe of the ground floor. It has a bit narrow space but if you come with your colleagues, this area is also suitable. There is also a customer space in the front. But the most interesting and favorite part is upstairs, come with me.
The second floor has a larger area than the ground floor. In addition to many books that can be read for free, this area also provides a relaxed seating area. I mean, you can enjoy your food while reading a book because there are sofas and pillows there. I chose to sit in the corner because there is an interesting view at this corner. Moreover, when it was raining, the night became even more romantic.

This is a bookshelf outside the meeting room—yup, this coffee shop also provides a meeting room. Interestingly, the books on this shelf look classic. There are many non-fiction books there, the staff said—I can read the ones that are open—or not wrapped in plastic. That's because the books that are still neatly wrapped are the ones that are for sale.
This is the meeting room I mentioned earlier.
