Praise First, Then Roast: An Objective Analysis

Rant-Heavy, Blood Pressure Spiking

The staff had a deadpan face the whole time. I stood at the cashier for ages and no one paid me any mind, as if I owed them millions. Our croissants for dining in were just thrown into a paper bag. When we asked, they said they were out of plates. But then the customers who came after us got plates? The double standard was crystal clear.

Pitfall Avoidance Guide (Survival First)

If you're stubborn and insist on going, please take these life-saving tips:

So, is this place worth it or not? If you just want to spend 9k on a decent croissant to take away, then it's fine. But if you're thinking of sitting down to enjoy the experience, I'd advise you to think twice. Your wallet and your mood—you've got to save at least one of them, right? 🤷‍♀️

• 1. Always check your receipt at checkout![9] Overcharging isn't an isolated incident, so don't be a sucker.
• 2. Have small change ready if you're paying with cash. The staff routinely say they don't have change, you know how it is.
• 3. Mentally prepare yourself.[10] The service is basically non-existent, so don't expect a good experience.
• 4. Go early if you want their signature items.[11] Popular items like the cheesecake are usually gone by the afternoon.
• 5. Watch out for the"ghost" parking attendants.[12] There's no one there when you arrive, but someone suddenly appears to collect a fee when you leave—a classic Indonesian specialty.
