Step into a dreamy, flower-filled cafe in South Jakarta that looks like a real-life princess vanity. This spot is a photo-lover's paradise, but is it worth the 150k price tag? While the ambiance gets a perfect score and the Bomboloni is a must-try, the food is mostly average. This review weighs the stunning visuals against the influencer-level prices, giving you the essential tips on what to order, when to go, and how to avoid the nightmare parking.
For real, if my girl hadn't dragged me here, driving all the way to this nook and cranny in South Jakarta, and seeing that ridiculously narrow underground parking lot, I really would have just said anjay on the spot and turned back.[1]
But the moment I walked in, OK, I was wrong. This isn't a cafe, it's like they moved an entire flower shop in here![2] It's all flowers and lace everywhere you look, every corner is decorated like a princess's vanity, a photo spot completely tailor-made for"cewek kue" types like us. My girls had already started going crazy with the cekrek cekrek. 📸[3]
We came for the desserts and ordered the signature Bomboloni[4], which was huge, stuffed full of cream filling, soft and not overly sweet, it was Mantap! The waffles[5] were not bad either, the portion was generous, and the plating was pretty. The main course was actually a pleasant surprise, I didn't expect the Nasi Goreng[6] from a place like this to be so flavorful, it was delicious!
But to be fair, the ambiance gets full marks, but the food is... just average. Except for a few items, most of the dishes and drinks don't seem to justify their influencer-level prices[7]. It's not that they taste bad, it's just that feeling you get after eating where you wouldn't make a special trip to come back. It's about 150,000 rupiah per person[8], so you're mostly paying for the atmosphere.
Editor's Highlights (Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls) ✍️
- Parking Nightmare: That underground parking lot is seriously, incredibly narrow![9] Newbie drivers, be extremely careful, even veteran drivers will break a sweat. I recommend just taking a taxi here to save yourself the trouble.
- Wallet Warning: The prices on the menu are all before tax, and you'll have to add a 10% tax and a 5% service charge at the end.[10]
- Photo Op Timing: The place isn't very big, so if you want to get those epic shots that look like you have the whole place to yourself, make sure to avoid the weekend afternoon peak hours.[11] Coming to nongkrong on a weekday is the most chill.
- Note for Parents: Although there's a mini kids' area[12], the space is very small, and when it's crowded, the kids can't really play freely. It's okay to bring kids when there are fewer people.
- The Art of Ordering: I've heard that some popular dishes sell out[13], so it's best to check with the staff before ordering to avoid getting your hopes up for nothing.
- Tucked away, but prepare to be amazed! This cafe is a flower shop brought to life, with fresh flowers and lace everywhere. Every corner is a photo spot, like a princess's dressing table![1][2][3]
- Their signature Bomboloni are huge, bursting with creamy filling, soft and not too sweet – truly "Mantap!"[4]
- Don't think it's just pretty! Their Nasi Goreng is surprisingly flavorful, completely changing your stereotype of influencer cafe mains![5]
