Assalamu'alaikum, Loko cafe located inside the Tugu Station. It’s kind of in the middle of the station, so it's reachable from either the West or East Gate of the station. The ambience feels vintage. It's pretty comfortable inside, in the morning it's not too hot nor cold. There's a screen which shows us all of the train's schedules for the next hours. So we can relax inside the cafe without worrying about missing our train. The coffee is good. The cashier and waitress are so nice and helpful. Btw, I really like the “bakpia” that they sold here. It’s called “Bakpia Kedaton”. If you like durian, then try the durian flavor, it is the best. Moreover, the bakpia is already halal certified.

Amazing coffee place, you can sit there have your coffee with cookies, lot of options are there. We ask to pack our food for train also. Staff is very nice, too many options available for non-vegetarian, as a eggtarian we packed nasi goreng.

Loco inside ver. As I said in the previous review for the other branches, Loko is still an option for looking for food or coffee while at the station (any station on Java) The interior of the cafe is quite good, the atmosphere feels vintage, but unfortunately it's quite hot during the day. Here on the photo, delicious Bakmi Godog was also so served as my favorite menu

found this cafe on our rush day back to Jakarta. Ordered Klepon Latte and Iced Americano, surprisingly delicious and very refreshing. Dine in area not that big enough and kinda hot inside but comfortable enough to just seat and have a quick coffee. Will try their food next time Affordable price even it’s on station area - thank you Mas Kasir yang ramah
