I was on the lookout for a new pair of duvet to save me from this chilly winter and I decided to give @emma.mattress.au all season duvet a go! It is very snug, has a nice weight to it, and it complements my Emma Comfort Mattress perfectly! Yes, I am still using and loving my mattress from them. They are currently having a massive End Of Financial Year sale for up to 55% off, a wonderful time to snag a new mattress, if I say so myself 😉 169 2
A new video is up on my YouTube channel and even though it is currently rank the worst performing one, but it’s actually the most precious one for me! 333 0

Recently, my Instagram feed is flooded with photos of this place. At first, by looking at the interior design from the photos, In my mind, I thought, ‘this place couldn’t be in Surabaya!’ I thought this kind of coffee shop only exist in Jakarta or somewhere else but Surabaya, but I was wrong! This place really does exist in Surabaya and without any hesitation, I just asked my best friend to be my company there.
Society Complex
Society Complex's Website
“The one-stop entertainment complex in Surabaya with a flavor of rich history, a semi-fine dining restaurant, indoor & outdoor, lounge & bar, as well as 24 hours coffee shop in one compound. We are delicious, educative, trendy, and happening!” (source : www.society.co.id)
Society Complex is located in the center of the city, Sumatra Street, it’s on the same road as Domicile Kitchen & Lounge. But unfortunately, I can only review Historica Coffee & Pastry for now because the rest of the venues have not officially opened yet. We’ll have to be patient with them and I really can’t wait! 
HISTORICA COFFEE & PASTRY
Society Complex Logo
View from the front
They don’t have a menu book, it’s all written on the board

 

 Pricing in Indonesian Rupiah (k : thousand) 

Coffee : 25k-35k | TWG Tea : 20k-30k | Smoothies :25k-40k | Choco & Greentea : 35k | Breakfast menu: 35k-45k | Cake & Pastry : 25k-53k | Bottled Juice & Mineral Water : Price is not shown


On the right side, there is a giant coffee roaster machine. 
The website says, “The new concept of a coffee shop is here, first in Soerabaia. The new way to enjoy your own coffee by picking, roasting, and grinding by yourself.” Too bad the waiter didn’t tell me about it when I was there, I just found out when I opened their website now 🙁 I want to try.

Clean workspace

 

A different set of tables and chairs ♥
 
 Clean and comfy toilet. They even put real flowers there (made it smells so good)
Where all the Instagram pictures were taken 
 
This is the place where they put the straw, chili & tomato sauce, salt & pepper, sugar, etc  You can have it your own way (self-service)
Outdoor section
Historica Coffee & Pastry Outdoor

These are what we ordered : 
(for every meal you order, you’ll get one glass of mineral water for free)

Egg Benedict (45k)
3 layers of Pancake (35k)
3 layers of Pancake (35k)
Green Tea Frappe (38k)

Service tax 5% & goverenment tax 10% added

my thoughts : 
I truly love this place!
Even though the parking lot is really small, but you can always use the valet service, and it’s not that expensive, only 10k
The valet parking service is really nice, they opened and closed the door for us
I love how they use green plants to decorate the outdoor, it looks really pretty
The combination of vintage style with a modern touch makes the interior design looks so simple but sophisticated
The place is really cozy, I can sit here for hours
The waiters are friendly and helpful
They only have 1 toilet but it is really clean, smells nice and they also provide wet tissue inside
Foods taste good, too bad I’m not a coffee lover
but I don’t like their green tea frappe, it tastes weird 🙁
The price is quite pricey but it’s worth it
They have a wi-fi connection, but I couldn’t connect to it while I was there
They also have plenty of electrical outlets
SMOKING FREE (Indoor Area)

 
suggestions :
Add more waiters? Because while I was there I felt that the dirty plates and glasses were not picked up right away after the customers gone, it was still there for about half an hour.
Even the new customers who were asking them to pick it up
One thing that confuses me about Historica is on their homepage it says “24 Hours Coffee Shop” but, they also write “Open daily and weekend 7 am – 11 pm” How could it be 24 hours?
LOL

    I will for sure, just let me know if there is a another review comes up haha.. have you tried cafe in front of melandas store? ,I forgot the name,maybe brussel or something..

    No, Bistro VII is a real cafe.. The school name is 'Ottimmo International Master Gourmet Academy'.. Both in the same building, but in a different section.. 🙂
    Yes I live in Surabaya.. You can subscribe your email to get notification or you can like my facebook page.. I always update my blog post there.. ^^ (I put the info on the right bar of my blog)
    Uhm.. You mean, Le Ciel Bleu? Yes I did.. But it was an awful experience despite of their really pretty concept of a glass house cafe.. Maybe because they just opened it.. So it was still a mess here and there.. Well I'm going to give it a second chance.. Hopefully they are better now.. 🙂

    Hi,
    Your reviews were very clear and detailed, kudos for that. Please keep making reviews on other cafes and bistros, so I can keep referring back to your blog for them. Haha.
    That being said, which one would you recommend the most if I were to visit these places? My friends are coming for a visit so we're planning to pay these places a visit if we have the time.
    Cheers!

    Hi Anon, 
    Thank you! 🙂 Umm.. In my opinion, you can visit Society Complex, Domicile, OurBar and 1914.. Society Complex, Domicile and OurBar are near to each other and are really popular right now.. 1914 is in a different area buat also worth to try.. I'm going to blog about 1914 soon, so please stay tuned.. Oh, and all of them are placed in the central of Surabaya.. If you visit west side of Surabaya, you can go to Capital or Spazio.. 🙂
    Cheers 🙂

    Alright, I'll prolly try society complex first. Oh 1 more question, are these places smoking free? At least for the indoors ones.
    And, I've tried the west ones since my house is here in the west haha.

    Yes, you should try Society Complex firts, they just opened their fine dining resto called 1903.. ^^
    Oh hey.. They are all smoking free for the indoors (Domicile, Society Complex & 1914).. But OurBar is full of smoke, hahaha..
    Thank you for your question, I'll add this on my blog post.. 🙂
    Anyways, there is a new cafe in town, placed after Tunjungan Plaza, right next to Go Skate building named "Bear Top" (UFO).. Today is their soft opening, you can come to try as well.. ^^

    I've asked, and the answer is :
    From 7 am until lunch, you can only order their brunch menu..
    After lunch, you can order anything (including their brunch menu) until 10.30pm..
    They closed at 11 pm..
