Discover a top-rated Medan cafe so hidden, it doesn't even have a sign! Behind a simple blue door lies a secret garden oasis with a cozy, bohemian vibe. This spot is the real deal, serving up some of the city's best coffee and an absolutely divine Basque Cheesecake that you can't miss. It's the perfect afternoon hideaway, but be sure to arrive before their early 6 PM closing time and be prepared for limited parking.
Honestly, if Google Maps hadn't insisted "You have arrived," I would've thought my GPS was messing with me. 🙄
I walked back and forth twice on this street in Medan. All I saw was a regular residential house with no sign at all, just a plain, unassuming little blue door. It was so mysterious, I almost turned around and left.
Who even gets it, you guys! The moment I pushed the door open, Anjay! It was a completely different world. Not some run-down little shop at all, but a secret garden hidden in the city center! 🌿 Bohemian-style tapestries, greenery everywhere, and sunlight pouring in from the skylight, making the whole space feel warm and cozy. So perfect for Nongkrong for an afternoon.
As a total coffee head, I immediately ordered a Flat White[1]. It was definitely one of the best I've had in Medan. The flavor of the beans was very distinct, and the texture was smooth and balanced—not that pretentious stuff that's all for show, this was the real deal. I didn't have high hopes for the cafe's desserts, but I was proven wrong again. That Basque Cheesecake[2], you have to order it! Toasty on the outside with a moist, melt-in-your-mouth center. It's insane! The almond croissant[3] my friend ordered was also so flaky it crumbled, so delicious I wanted to get one to-go.
Of course, I can't just sing its praises. As for the price, two coffees were 76k Rupiah[4], which isn't the cheapest in Medan, but it's worth it considering the quality. The only thing to complain about is the parking[5]. There are very few spots out front, so you basically have to get lucky finding a spot on the roadside. Drivers, be prepared.
My [Tips & Tricks / Must-Do Guide] for You
- 1. How to find it? Don't look for a sign! Just navigate to the address, look for that blue door[6], and push it open with confidence!
- 2. How to get there? I recommend taking a taxi or a motorbike. If you're driving, parking spots are really tight[7]. Time to test your luck.
- 3. When to go? They close pretty early, with last call[8] at 6 PM, so definitely don't go in the evening! If you want to try the croissants, it's best to come after 11 AM[9].
- 4. What to order? You can't go wrong with any of the coffees. The Basque Cheesecake[10] is a must-try! Mantap! 👍
- Step through the blue door into another world! A secret, sunlit Medan garden with boho tapestries and lush greenery. 🌿[1]
- The Flat White: smooth, balanced, with clear bean notes. No gimmicks, just real skill—top-tier for Medan. [2]
- Don't miss the Basque Cheesecake! Burnt exterior, creamy melting center. So good it'll make you spin 💃 [3]
