Discover Bluline, a unique new cafe in Jakarta's PIK with a surprising split personality. The ground floor is a mysterious, cave-like space, while upstairs reveals a bright, floral secret garden perfect for working or chilling with friends. While the decor is a major draw, the real showstopper is the food. Don't miss the unexpectedly amazing Truffle Mac and Cheese, which makes this spot a must-visit for its ambiance and delicious eats, despite the pricey drinks.
To be honest, when I first turned into this cafe in PIK called Bluline, I was a bit confused. The first floor is kinda dark and secretive, the walls are made to look like rock, giving it a whole cave vibe. It's cool and all, but it felt a bit oppressive.
But then, I went up to the second floor, Anjay! The vibe did a complete 180; I thought I had accidentally stumbled into someone's secret garden. Sunlight streamed in through the windows, it was surrounded by greenery and fresh flowers, and the air was filled with a faint floral scent. It's just perfect for Nongkrong with your besties or bringing your laptop to chill for an afternoon.
The real surprise is in the food!
I originally had zero expectations for the cafe's simple meals; I was purely there to soak in the atmosphere. But then… the Truffle Mac and Cheese came out, and the aroma was so good the next table was peeking over![1] The truffle oil flavor was super rich, the cheese pull was incredibly long, and all I can say about every bite is Mantap!
The coffee quality is on point, decently good. But it was the dessert that surprised me again. That Banana Chocolate Muffin[2] was also high-quality, definitely not some mass-produced factory stuff. You can tell it's homemade with care, and the texture feels very homey and warm.
But, as usual, let's get real for a sec…
Although the ambiance and food are both commendable, I have to say, their drink prices are on the high side for the PIK area, and the cups are really small. I feel like I finished it in two or three sips[3]. For someone like me who drinks coffee like water, it really hurts the wallet 🥲.
Tips to avoid pitfalls & ordering guide
Alright, girls, here are the key takeaways!
If you're a 'Work From Cafe' person or want to chat longer with friends, don't linger on the first floor, go straight to the second. There are more seats, and they've thoughtfully provided power outlets[4], so friendly!
For food, just go for the Mac and Cheese[5] without a second thought. It's about 65k per serving, and absolutely worth the price. For dessert, you can try the Corncheese[6]; many local friends recommend it, and I have to try it next time!
Ambiance > Food > Drinks. It's a great place for taking photos and working quietly. For that Mac and Cheese, I will definitely be back
