The popular Wheels from Bandung has landed in Bintaro, boasting a massive, stunning space with perfect vibes for working or hanging out. While the ambiance is a huge draw, the food can be hit-or-miss. This review breaks down what's worth ordering (hint: the pasta and desserts are winners!) and what you might want to skip. Find out if the experience lives up to the hype and the slightly higher price tag before you visit this new hotspot.
That super popular Wheels from Bandung has finally opened in Bintaro! It just opened and it's already blowing up my feed, so I quickly dragged my friends to check it out over the weekend.
Honestly, I was stunned the moment I stepped inside—the space is huge?! Feels like you could hold a sports day in here. The high ceilings, natural light, greenery... it's like a high-end version of 'the cafe of your dreams,' the vibes are just perfect. It gets a bit noisy on weekends because of the crowd, but it still feels very Chill.[1]
Sitting down and looking at the menu, I noticed it's not quite the same as the Bandung branch, and the prices seem... a tiny bit more expensive[2]. The two of us ordered two main courses and two drinks, which cost around 420,000 IDR[3]. I originally wanted to try a rice dish, but my friend said she had a bad experience last time, saying it was a bit bland, like hospital food (lol)[4]. So we chickened out and ordered pasta and a steak.
And guess what! The pasta was surprisingly good![5] The sauce was rich and the noodles were al dente. Seems like ordering pasta here is a safe bet. My friend ordered the Carne Al Firenze[6], which is a tenderloin steak with truffle sauce, and that truffle aroma made me hungry right away. The meat quality was decent too.
Their name includes "Roasters," so my expectations for the coffee were pretty high. I ordered a cup, and, well... how should I put it? It was just a normal cup of coffee, nothing amazing, but not bad either.[7]
On the other hand, the dessert was a pleasant surprise! I ordered the Lemon Cake[8], which was sweet and sour, served with ice cream and lemon curd. The texture was very layered and rich, so good I wanted to order another slice! I heard their Quiche is also Mantap, I'll have to try it next time.
But to be fair, this place's pros and cons are equally prominent. The ambiance is undeniably great, but the service is... a bit hit-or-miss. When it's crowded on weekends, it's really hard to get a waiter's attention; getting an extra order depends on luck and how loud you can shout[9]. If you're coming here expecting the perfect experience of the Bandung branch, I'd suggest lowering your expectations a bit. After all, the prices are higher, and it seems the quality control hasn't quite caught up yet.
Alright, as usual, here are the key takeaways for you:
TL;DR & Guide to Avoid Pitfalls
- ✅ How to get there? - Just navigate to `Wheels Coffee Roasters Bintaro`. It's on the main road, very easy to find.
- ✅ Why go? - Definitely a great spot for WFC (Work From Cafe), Nongkrong with friends, or family gatherings! The space is large enough that you won't bother each other. But it gets crowded and noisy on weekends, so if you want a quiet place to work, it's better to come on a weekday[10].
- ✅ What to order? (Can't-go-wrong vs. Order with caution)
- Can't go wrong with: All pastas[11], steaks, cakes, and quiches[12]. A safe and delicious bet!
- Choose with caution: Rice dishes. Reviews on the taste are quite polarized, so it can be a miss[13].
- 💡 Money-saving Tip: There's free drinking water on every table[14], so you don't need to order extra water.
- ⚠️ Heads up: During peak hours, you can't choose your own seat; you'll be assigned one by the system[15]. Service can be slow, so be patient.
- Bintaro's new upgraded coffee shop is a vibe. Huge space, high ceilings, great light, and greenery. Perfect for Chill weekend hangs [1].
- The pastas are a foolproof choice. Rich sauces, perfectly al dente noodles. A guaranteed win [2].
- Must-order the lemon cake! It's sweet, tangy, and cool with a rich, layered texture. You'll want a second slice [3]
