Curious about the trendy Indonesian brand, The RR Chocolate? This spot boasts a fantastic ambiance and a must-see "Dragee Wall" where you can scoop your own colorful chocolates. While the signature chocolate drinks and cakes are a chocoholic's dream, the article gives a heads-up that the main courses, cocktails, and service might not live up to the hype. It’s the perfect place for a sweet treat, but maybe not for a full dining experience.
The RR Chocolate, a super trendy Indonesian Lokal chocolate brand, has been getting a lot of buzz lately. They claim to be"from bean to bar"[1], which sounds pretty impressive. As a total choco-holic, how could I resist? I rushed right over to their Sudirman location to check it out for you, girls!
The moment I walked in, the ambiance was truly Mantap! Warm yellow lighting, a spacious and comfortable area, and on-point design. Whether you're here to Nongkrong with friends or for a business meeting, it's super impressive[2]. They absolutely nailed the vibe. 😎
Here comes the main event! I made a beeline for the legendary Dragee Wall[3]. The colorful chocolate balls are just so therapeutic! You can grab a jar and fill it up yourself for 150k. I packed mine full of the almond green tea and cookie-filled flavors, and they were so good I wanted to weld the jar to my hand!
For drinks, I ordered the signature Hot Dark Cacao[4]. It was silky and rich, with a genuine dark chocolate flavor—not like those other overly sweet, basic drinks. Loved it, loved it. For the cake, of course I had to get the Intense Chocolate Cake[5]. The chocolate flavor was explosive, with a hint of bitterness in the sweetness. I felt like my life was complete after eating it. No exaggeration, when it comes to chocolate, this place is a real powerhouse in Jakarta!
But! After all that praise, I have to keep it real. The chocolate is a 10/10, but the service was a bit Anjay… I was calling for a waiter for ages with no response, and I kind of felt 'judged', which instantly brought down the experience[6]. I also tried a main course, and the taste was... pretty average, nothing memorable. Not worth making a special trip for[7]. Oh, and my friend ordered a cocktail. The taste was okay, but the portion was so small it made you question your life choices. Not great value for the price[8]. For my girls who want a drink, you might want to find another place to Chill.
The Editor's Honest-to-God Guide
- What to order: Go for their chocolate products without hesitation! The drinks, cakes, and the chocolate wall are all safe bets. But if you don't have a massive sweet tooth, you might find some cakes"overly sweet"[9], so you can ask the staff before ordering.
- What to skip: Don't have high expectations for the main courses and alcoholic drinks. They really aren't their strong suit. Save your money for the chocolate!
- Outfit Tips: The AC in the shop is blasting like it's Siberia[10], so for my friends who get cold easily, definitely, definitely remember to bring a light jacket!
- Getting there: The location is great, close to the MRT and bus stations, so public transport is very convenient[11]. No need to get stuck in Jakarta's traffic forever.
- Colorful Dragee Wall 巧克力豆墙 [1]: 150k fills a jar with almond green tea & sandwich cookie. So good!
- Intense Chocolate Cake [2]: intensely rich chocolate, sweet with a bitter edge. Pure bliss!
- Signature Hot Dark Cacao [3]: silky, rich, true dark chocolate, not cloyingly sweet. Obsessed!
