Heard the hype about Paris Sorbet's "Cloud French Toast"? This review confirms it's a must-try, along with their amazing, high-quality sorbets. The Jakarta cafe boasts a chic, photo-worthy vibe perfect for a hangout. But here's the heads-up: the main courses can be bland and the portions are small for the price. The pro tip? Go for the desserts, book ahead to avoid crowds, and hit up their all-you-can-eat sorbet deal on Mondays.
Girls in Jakarta, have you also been seeing Paris Sorbet's French toast all over your feed lately? It's hailed as the"best in the city," and a dessert lover like me couldn't resist, so I rushed right over! The shop is on a small road in the Wolter Monginsidi area of South Jakarta. Honestly, amidst the daily traffic jams of Jakarta, seeing this shop's bright storefront really feels like being instantly transported to a little chill spot in Bali. 😌
The ambiance is definitely top-notch—simple yet stylish, with high ceilings that make the space feel very open. It's super suitable for coming to nongkrong and taking photos with the girls[1]. Alright, back to the main topic. When the much-hyped PS’ French Toast[2] was served, I was still wondering to myself, how good could it be? Anjay! I literally closed my eyes after the first bite... The bread was as soft as a cloud, melting in my mouth, and paired with caramel sauce and ice cream, the sweetness was just right, and the layers of flavor were incredible. Mantap! This is absolutely the best French toast I've had in Jakarta, bar none.
Their signature Sorbet[3] also lives up to its reputation. I ordered the raspberry flavor; it was sweet, tangy, and refreshing. You can tell from the first taste that they use pure ingredients, not that artificial flavoring at all. If you're in the mood for something savory, you can try the PS’ Brie & Truffle Croque[4]. The truffle flavor is very rich, and it's also amazing with the fries.
However! Your girl here always tells the truth. The desserts at this place are divine, but the main courses... are a bit hard to describe. My friend's pasta was apparently so bland it was like they forgot the salt[5], and the dessert portions are on the delicate and small side[6], so guys looking to get full here might want to think twice. The prices aren't cheap either, the kind that will make your wallet hurt a little.
Let me break down the key points for you 📝
- Go just for the desserts: Trust me, order the French toast and sorbet without hesitation. Be cautious with the main courses!
- Go on a Monday!: Every Monday, there's an all-you-can-eat sorbet event for around 120k IDR. The value for money is maxed out![7]
- Definitely make a reservation: It gets super crowded during peak hours, and the staff are running around like crazy. If you don't want to wait, you must book a table in advance![8] Service might be a bit slow when it's busy, so just be patient.[9]
- Parking: Parking spots are very limited, so it's recommended to just take a cab or use the valet service.[10]
- Pet parent perk: This is a pet-friendly restaurant, so you can bring your doggo along to chill![11]
- "Best in town" PS’ French Toast [1]: Cloud-soft, melt-in-your-mouth bread with caramel and ice cream.
- Bright facade, instant Bali chill spot vibes. Chic, minimalist, sister photo ops ready [2].
