Tempted by the viral pour-over tiramisu at CIN'S CAFE in Sedayu City? This review offers a rollercoaster take on the trendy spot. While the photogenic cafe, Baileys tiramisu, and matcha latte receive praise, there's a serious heads-up on inconsistent quality and a shocking food hygiene issue. Get the full scoop on what to order, what to watch out for, and other practical tips before you decide if this cute, but risky, cafe is worth your visit.
I've been seeing the viral pour-over tiramisu[1] all over TikTok, and I finally came to this CIN'S CAFE in Sedayu City to check it out. Honestly, my experience visiting this cafe was like a rollercoaster ride, a love-hate thing, and it's hard to put into words… 롤러코스터 타는 기분 RIDE~
The cafe is the super cute type, with two floors. The downstairs area is a bit small, so I recommend heading straight upstairs where it's much more spacious and has great natural lighting[2]. There's also a teddy bear in a little dress in the corner, which is great for photos. The whole vibe is perfect for an afternoon of nongkrong with the girls. Their specialty is the pour-over tiramisu, which comes in three flavors: classic, matcha, and Baileys[3]. I went straight for the Baileys one, and the balance of alcohol, coffee, and creamy flavor was just right. One bite was super satisfying! The portion size is also quite generous, truly the “potongan kuenya besar juga”[4] type. The matcha latte[5] my friend ordered was also surprisingly good. It wasn't just mindlessly sweet; it had that unique, slightly bitter aftertaste of matcha, which felt very sophisticated.
However, after all the praise, it's time for some real talk. Their signature tiramisu seems to have inconsistent quality control. The Baileys one I had was pretty good, but my friend felt the classic one lacked coffee flavor. Plus, it had a slight icy texture[6], which diminished the experience. What shocked me the most was, I personally saw in the cake of a customer at the next table… there was actually a mosquito! 🦟 And the staff's initial attitude when handling it was a bit like they were shifting responsibility, which was so anjay… Although it was resolved in the end, this kind of food hygiene issue is really unacceptable[7].
Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls & Tips
As usual, I'll give you the key points. For the girls who want to go, save this!
- Ordering Recommendations: If it's your first time and you're afraid of picking a dud, go straight for the Baileys Tiramisu[8] or the Cheesecake[9], as these two are generally highly rated. The Matcha Latte[10] is also worth a try; it's a pleasant surprise!
- Price Reference: The prices are mid-to-high for the Sedayu City area. Tiramisu is around 55k-65k[11], and coffee is around 45k, so be prepared.
- Quality Control Warning: I'm just reporting what I saw, but there are definitely risks with food hygiene and quality control[12]. Whether you go or not, you decide for yourselves.
- Practical Tips: Tuesdays are pet-friendly days, so you can bring your furry friends[13]. Also, parking at Sedayu City is currently free, which is awesome! Lastly, the cafe only accepts cashless payments, so remember to bring your card or phone[14].
