Tucked away in East Jakarta, Rise n Roll is a cozy cafe that’s a dream for dessert lovers on a budget. For under 50k, you can indulge in flawless, silky cheesecakes and massive, cream-filled eclairs. Beyond the sweets, their surprisingly delicious Creamy Chicken Rice is a must-try. With a quiet, comfortable vibe perfect for chilling or working, this hidden gem proves that incredible taste doesn't need a high price tag. It's an affordable foodie paradise waiting to be discovered.
To be honest, if it weren't for its 4.9 high score on Google Maps[1], I probably would've been too lazy to make a special trip to East Jakarta. After all, this area, for me, is basically a blind spot aside from just passing through.
The shop isn't big, but the moment I pushed the door open, Anjay! The whole world went quiet. The air was filled with the lovely smell of butter and coffee, with no trace of smoke, and soft music playing. Isn't this the cafe of my dreams?[2]
Dessert Stomach Out of Control, Everything was Mantap!
Facing the dazzling cake display, my indecisiveness kicked in. In the end, I randomly ordered a few, and the result... not a single one was a miss![3]
The signature Cheesecake (Cheesecake)[4] is a must-try! Whether it was the Basque or Oreo flavor, the texture was dense and silky smooth, and the sweetness was perfectly balanced, not cloying at all.
And then there's the Eclair (Eclair)[5], with a crispy shell and a bursting cream filling inside. One bite just fills you with happiness. The craziest part is, a big one like this is only 10k Indonesian Rupiah[6]? Boss, are you doing okay?
I thought the main course would just be a sidekick, but the Creamy Chicken Rice (Nasi Chicken Butter Milk)[7] turned out to be a total showstopper! My friend rated it as"champion" level, and it really lived up to the hype. The sauce was rich, the chicken was super tender, and it was so good I could've licked the plate clean!
Some Real Talk (Minor Complaints)
To be honest, it's not entirely perfect. If you're a serious coffee lover, you might find the coffee here a bit weak, with a stronger milky taste[8], making it more suitable for"pseudo-coffee-lovers" like me.
Also, the parking is really tight[9]. If you drive here during peak hours, you'll need a bit of luck. It's more convenient to just get a ride-hailing service.
