I do not have a strong take, but the trying detail is useful. This is more useful on a tired late summer than on a perfect day.

Anecdotally, this tracks with what I have seen. I would test it for 5 days before deciding.

Do you think this would work in a smaller place than Jakarta? I am curious whether pastry still feels good next month. Texture is doing a lot of work here.

Helpful and not preachy, which is rare. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

I love this. It feels practical without pretending life is neat. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me.

Amazing how much difference one small change can make. The a coworking table detail changes the whole answer.
