Thinking of splurging at a popular PIK cake shop? This spot may be pricey with small portions, but the flavor is truly next-level. Indulge in divine desserts like the famous Pistachio Tiramisu or the adorable Bambi Wonderland mousse in a chic, minimalist setting. The best part? It’s a pet-friendly haven, so you can bring your furry companion along for a chill afternoon. This review weighs if the impeccable taste is worth the high price tag.
Honestly, before coming to this popular cake shop in PIK, I had prepared myself mentally. But when I saw the bill, and then looked at the two cups of coffee and one small piece of cake in front of us, I couldn't help but feel my heart sink a little: Almost 200,000 Rupiah for just this?[1] The price is on the high side, and the portion size is visibly exquisite (to put it bluntly, it's small).
But! The moment I took the first bite of the cake, I knew the money wasn't wasted. The quality of their cake is truly impeccable. You can tell from the first taste that the ingredients are high-end, and the sweetness is also perfectly balanced, not that sickeningly sweet, cheap stuff[2]. We ordered the pistachio cheesecake, and it was amazing! My friend's Bambi Wonderland[3] was also super cute; it's a dark chocolate mousse deer with a pistachio filling inside, rich but not heavy. As for the coffee, it was pretty standard, perfect for pairing with the cake.
The shop's ambiance is a very comfortable, modern minimalist style, bright with warm tones, and a bit of a European bistro feel[4]. The space isn't large, but it's very quiet, perfect for coming to nongkrong with your besties for an afternoon, or bringing your laptop to chill for a bit. There weren't many people when we went, so it was very comfortable, but I've heard that during peak hours, if you run into those loud-talking 'aunties and uncles' (you know the type 🤪), the experience can be diminished.
Rants & Tips (You're welcome!)
Alright, time for some real talk.
Pros:
Cons:
Overall, if you're a dessert lover seeking the ultimate flavor experience, or looking for a place to chill with your pet, this place is definitely worth a visit! Anjay
- 1. The taste is truly divine. Next time, I have to try their signature Pistachio Tiramisu[5] that everyone raves about.
- 2. Pet-friendly! This has to be in bold! You can bring your fur babies[6], just remember to have your little master wear a diaper and be on a leash, so everyone can enjoy the pets civilizedly. My dog was about to fall asleep on the sofa. 🐶
- 1. Expensive & Small. Be mentally prepared; this is a place for quality over quantity. Don't expect to get full.
- 2. The restroom could be better. When I went, I felt the hygiene in the restroom could be improved[7]. Hope the owner sees this, haha.
- 3. Choosing is a game of chance. The small cakes in the display are all so exquisite, but they don't have any names or descriptions, triggering my analysis paralysis on the spot. I suggest the owner add a name tag and a short description for each of these little cuties[8].
- Pistachio cheesecake makes the ~200k IDR [1] bill worth it! Premium ingredients, perfectly balanced sweetness – no cloying sugar bomb [2]!
- Super pet-friendly [3]! Bring your furbaby to chill. My dog even slept on the couch – the vibe is pure bliss. 🐶
- Beyond pistachio cheesecake, try cute Bambi Wonderland [4] deer. The pistachio tiramisu [5] is legendary – dessert lovers, don't miss it!
