Escape the mall crowds at this new standalone Dum Dum cafe in Summarecon Serpong! The real magic is on the second floor, offering a serene lake view that's perfect for a chill afternoon. It’s a fantastic work-from-cafe spot, boasting power outlets at every seat and reliable WiFi. While you're there, try the unexpectedly delicious Nasi Rames Bakar. It's the ideal place to unwind or be productive, just be prepared for a wait during peak times.
Anjay! Who would have thought, I was just planning to grab a Dum Dum Thai tea at Summarecon Serpong to satisfy a craving, but it turns out they opened a whole standalone cafe with a lake view! 🤯
The first floor looked pretty unremarkable, and I was thinking, "Is this it?" But then I went up to the second floor and was instantly captivated by the lake view outside. It's so chill! Isn't this so much more comfortable than squeezing through crowds in a mall? I found a window seat, sat down, and just stared out at the lake. It felt like my whole week of work was for nothing (just kidding). Plus, it's less crowded than other branches, so it's peaceful! To Nongkrong here for an afternoon is just the best.
How's the food and drink?
Not much to say about the drinks, it's that same familiar taste. I ordered the original Thai milk tea[1], the quality is consistent and it never disappoints. The highlight is the food! I originally had zero expectations for the simple meals at this kind of hybrid cafe, but I was pleasantly surprised by the Nasi Rames Bakar (Grilled Mixed Rice)[2]! The rice was grilled to a fragrant char, and the side dishes were flavorful, definitely not some half-assed pre-packaged meal. This was truly Mantap!
Let's be real...
Although the view and the food are decent, I have to be honest. The service speed here is a bit... unpredictable... 😅 Especially during meal times, if you're starving, you might wait until you lose your mind[3]. In terms of price, some of you girls might find it a bit pricey[4]; the food is solid, but it's not mind-blowingly amazing, so you'll have to judge the value for money for yourselves.
A No-BS Guide (Get your notes ready!)
- Top seat choice: Definitely a window seat on the second floor! You're here for the lake view, don't sit on the first floor[5].
- A blessing for workers: Every seat has a power outlet, and the WiFi signal is pretty stable[6]. It's a lifesaver for digital nomads like me.
- Kid-friendly: For the friends bringing kids, you're in luck. The staff will give kids coloring sheets or small toys[7], letting you have a moment of peace.
- Gathering Mode: There are private rooms on the second floor that you can book[8], the kind with a TV. Seems great for a birthday party or a department meeting.
- Times to Avoid: Definitely don't come during peak meal times unless you're very patient. Parking can be a bit tight during weekend peak hours[9], so be prepared to hunt for a spot.
