[Review] Tempat nongkrong McD Senayan STC - Lebih Dari Sekedar Fastfood

[Review] Tempat nongkrong McD Senayan STC - Lebih Dari Sekedar Fastfood

McD atau McDonald adalah tempat makan dan nongkrong unik yang bisa dibilang lumayan untuk kalian yang bingung mau menghabiskan waktu dimana, di tengah padatnya kawasan Senayan, siapa sangka kalau McDonald’s (McD) di sebelah Senayan Trade Center (STC) ini bisa jadi salah satu tempat nongkrong yang asik dan nyaman? 


Tempat ini bukan hanya untuk makan cepat atau fastfood aja, tapi juga cocok buat dijadikan tempat ketemuan, tempat hangout bareng teman sepulang sekolah, atau kerja sambil ngopi, atau bahkan sekadar re-charge setelah belanja.


Menurut penilaian gw McD STC ini memiliki desain interior yang modern, bersih, dan minimalis. Dominasi warna kayu dengan aksen merah khas McD membuat suasana terasa hommi. 


Di beberapa sudut, tersedia sofa yang empuk dan area duduk berkelompok – cocok untuk ngobrol santai atau meeting kecil sambil buka laptop atau iPad kerja.



Kalau kamu datang sendirian untuk nugas, ada juga meja - meja yang lengkap dengan colokan listrik, ditambah lagi ada akses Wi-Fi gratisnya, ada juga musik yang terdengar lembut dengan volume yang pas, cukup nyaman lah menurut gw tanpa mengganggu saat kita berbincang-bincang.


🍟 Menu Andalan

Soal menu, bagi banyak orang McD sudah tidak asing lagi. Favorit seperti Big Mac, McSpicy, McNuggets, dan Fries tetap jadi andalan pilihan pengunjung. Namun yang menarik, di gerai McD STC ini pilihan menunya menurut gw cukup lengkap, termasuk dessert corner yang menyajikan McFlurry, sundae, dan pie yang bisa jadi camilan sore.



Selain itu, minuman seperti kopi McCafe juga tersedia. Untuk nongkrong ringan sambil ngopi, menu ini jadi alternatif selain kopi dari kedai-kedai premium di sekitar mall.


💡 Fasilitas 


McD STC punya fasilitas yang cukup lengkap untuk sekedar nongkrong :

  • Wi-Fi gratis dengan kecepatan stabil
  • Colokan listrik di beberapa meja
  • Toilet bersih
  • Self-order kiosk untuk pemesanan cepat
  • Tempat duduk luas, baik indoor maupun semi-outdoor, dengan jarak antar meja yang cukup lega


Untuk kalian yang datang ramai-ramai ke McD ini, tersedia juga area meja panjang yang bisa menampung banyak orang, ada juga area di outdoor yang bisa digunakan untuk yang mau nongkrong sambil ngudut.


💸 Harga


Harga makanan di McD tetap ramah di kantong. Meski berada di sekitaran mall premium, harga menu di sini tetap standar McD.

  • Makanan utama: mulai dari Rp25.000 – Rp50.000, tergantung menu pilihan kalian
  • Camilan & dessert: Rp10.000 – Rp30.000
  • Kopi McCafe: sekitar Rp20.000 – Rp35.000

Mestinya bisa dibilang harga McD ini masih sangat terjangkau, terutama jika dibandingkan dengan cafe atau resto lain di area mall Senayan City yang harganya aduhai OMG.


Kesimpulan: Fast Food, Slow Vibes


McD STC bukan sekadar tempat untuk makan makanan fastfood. Dengan desain interior yang nyaman, fasilitas lengkap, dan harga terjangkau, tempat ini bisa banget jadi pilihan untuk:

  • Nongkrong santai bareng teman
  • WFO atau nugas ringan
  • Ngopi sebelum atau sesudah belanja



📸 Tips buat kalian yang mau ngongkrong dimari :

  • Datanglah di luar jam makan siang (12.00–13.30) untuk suasana lebih tenang dan gak rame
  • Pilih spot dekat jendela untuk cahaya alami supaya kalau mau foto bisa lebih estetik

Demikian review ini, semoga bermanfaat, buat kalian yang mencari tempat nongkrong yang murah meriah tapi nyaman dan asik di sekitaran Senayan City, Senayan Trade Center atau sekitaran Senayan.
