Curious about a Pekanbaru cake shop that's always packed despite its 47k price per slice? This cozy, Insta-worthy spot is famous for its rich yet balanced cheesecakes, with standouts like Red Velvet and Lotus Biscoff. While the slices might be small, the quality ingredients and divine flavors have locals buzzing. Discover if this popular dessert destination is worth the hype and get insider tips for your visit, from navigating the small space to choosing the perfect cake for your taste.
I'd heard for a while about a shop in Pekanbaru that's said to have the best cheesecake in town. But for real, when I saw that one slice costs 47k[1] on the menu, my heart skipped a beat... That's not cheap in PKU. The shop is tiny with not many seats, so if you come late on a weekend, you'll basically have to wait. What kind of divine cake dares to be so "arrogant"? I had to try it for myself today!
The Cake Arrives, One Bite and You're Hooked
I went straight for their Red Velvet Cake[2], and from the first bite, I could tell it was made with quality ingredients. The cake itself was moist, and the sweet and tangy cream cheese was perfectly balanced, not cloying at all, Mantap! My friend ordered the Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake[3], and that caramel aroma was out of this world. Paired with the rich cheesecake, it was a total calorie bomb, but it doubled the happiness!
The whole shop isn't big, but it's decorated with great taste, creating the perfect afternoon tea vibe for you to Nongkrong with your besties[4]. Every corner is super photogenic; any random snap is an Insta-worthy picture. The texture of their cheesecakes is truly impeccable—rich but not cloyingly sweet[5]. It has that magic that makes you want another slice right after finishing one.
Time for some real talk…
But, let's be honest. The size of the cake is definitely on the small side[6]; a guy could probably finish it in two bites. For this price, the value for money isn't the absolute best. Also, for the Strawberry Cheesecake[7], I tried a bite of my friend's, and it was a little too sweet for me. Those with a sweet tooth might love it, but for my friends who don't like things too sweet, be cautious.

Fellow cheesecake lovers, this place is definitely worth a visit
- Don't bring a huge group: There really aren't many seats in the shop, so definitely don't plan to go with a big crowd[8], or you most likely won't get a place to sit. It's best for one or two besties to just Chill.
- Don't be afraid to ask: Before ordering, feel free to ask the staff which cakes are sweeter and which are more tart[9]. They're all super nice and will help you find the one that best suits your taste!
- Be flexible with your choice: Sometimes not all cake varieties are available, so it's best to have a Plan B before you go. It would be Anjay if the one you wanted is sold out![10]
- Red Velvet Cake: Super moist with a perfect sweet & tangy cream cheese. One bite gets you hooked and craving another slice[1][2].
- Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake: Rich caramel aroma meets creamy cheesecake. A calorie bomb that delivers double the happiness[3]!
