Craving a classic sweet treat? This article revisits Maquis at Pacific Place, a long-standing favorite for its nostalgic desserts. Get the details on three must-try items: the signature Mini Cheesetart with its incredible crust, the ultra-silky Caramel Pudding that melts in your mouth, and the colorful, sweet Macarons. Perfect for a quick takeaway indulgence or a classic gift, this spot proves that timeless flavors never go out of style and are perfect for satisfying any sweet tooth.
Sometimes you just get this sudden, intense craving, and you're desperately craving a taste that's sweet to the core. Today, I was passing by Pacific Place, and my body reacted faster than my brain—I just turned right into Maquis.
I'm not exaggerating, this shop has genuinely been the keeper of my sweet memories since I was a student[1]. Every time I visit, it feels like meeting an old friend—so familiar and comforting. No matter how many new trendy shops open in Jakarta, when I'm craving that classic taste, this is still the place to go.
My Three Go-To Orders Every Time
- Mini Cheesetart[2]: You have to go for the signature item first! The crispy texture of the crust is truly incredible, Anjay! The cheese filling is rich and fragrant but not heavy, and they're perfectly bite-sized. Simply the perfect star of an afternoon tea.
- Caramel Pudding[3]: The definition of silky smooth! It jiggles with a"duang" at the slightest scoop of a spoon, melts in your mouth, and the slight bitterness of the caramel blends with the milky fragrance of the pudding. It's a pure explosion of happiness. Every time I eat it, it feels so therapeutic~
- Macarons[4]: A blessing for anyone with decision paralysis (and a nightmare too, haha). They look so beautiful all lined up with their vibrant colors, I can't help but go all in every time. To be honest, their macarons are definitely on the sweeter side. Those with a sweet tooth will be ecstatic, but for my friends who aren't big on sweets, you might want to try something else first.
A Few Tips for Your Visit
This shop is actually more like an exquisite dessert counter; there aren't many places to sit down and Chill, so most people get their orders to-go.
If you happen to be shopping at PP and are looking for a place to Nongkrong for a bit, or if you need to buy a foolproof gift for a friend, this is the right place to come. Classics never go out of style, Mantap! 👍
- Like reuniting with an old friend! This spot owns your student-day sweet memories [1], timeless classic taste.
- Signature Mini Cheesetart [2]: crispy crust, rich yet light cheese. Perfect bite-sized for afternoon tea.
- Scoop their 'duang' Caramel Pudding [3]: silky smooth, melts. Bitter caramel meets creamy milk, pure bliss.
