Discover Woop's, a hidden cake shop with a perfect 5.0 Google rating, tucked away inside the Bekombo coffee shop. This gem is famous for its incredibly light and soft cakes that aren't overly sweet—a guilt-free indulgence! From classic Black Forest to local Pandan Kelapa, there's a flavor for everyone. Best of all, they're a lifesaver for last-minute celebrations, accepting orders with just a few hours' notice. This sweet secret is a must-try for all cake lovers.
Jujur (to be honest), to find this shop, I went back and forth on Jl. Srikandi three times! 🤯
The navigation clearly said I had arrived, but all I saw was a coffee shop called Bekombo. I almost thought I was being pranked, but then I peeked inside and saw the small Woop's sign hidden within. Anjay, they're so good at playing hide-and-seek![1] This cake shop, which is super popular in Medan and Pekanbaru, has a reputation so good that it's literally spread by neighborhood aunties sharing slices with each other[2], so I had to check it out for you guys!
Cake Review, No Hype, No Hate
The best thing about their cakes is: They're! Not! Overly rich! The cake itself is super soft and moist, the cream is whipped as light as air, the sweetness is just right, and you can finish a whole slice without feeling guilty at all.[3]
I tried a few of the popular ones:
- Black Forest: The classic is the true test of skill[4]. It's not one of those overly sweet, flashy types. The rich chocolate flavor paired with slightly tart cherries and the light cream make it super balanced, Mantap!
- Troisberry Shortcake: Berry lovers, go straight for this one[5]! The taste is super refreshing, it feels like you're eating an entire summer berry patch. It's sweet and sour, love it, love it. 🍓
- Pandan Kelapa Gula Merah: For friends who want something with a Lokal touch, you can try this "nostalgic cake"[6]. The fresh fragrance of pandan leaves, plus the crunchy texture of shredded coconut and the sweetness of palm sugar, creates amazing layers of flavor. It's a kind of happiness only understood in Indonesia!
- Coklat Dubai: The Dubai chocolate that's gone viral recently[7], I jumped on the bandwagon and tried it, and it's so good I regret only buying one! The outer layer is crispy, and the filling is silky smooth. Recommended!
Some real talk…
To be honest, a slice of cake costs around 60k-70k IDR, which isn't cheap. But considering the ingredients and the taste, I think it's totally worth the price.
Also, even though their cream isn't heavy, some of the cakes are still quite generous with the cream[8]. If you're not a big fan of cream, you might want to pay attention when ordering, or just tell the staff directly.
Avoiding Pitfalls & Practical Tips
Girls, look here before you go! 👇
- 📍About the location: I'll say it again! The shop is inside Bekombo coffee shop, you can't see the sign from the outside, so don't be like me and circle around foolishly.
- ⏰ For Emergencies: The coolest part is, they actually accept "last-minute" orders! They can get it ready for you with just 1-3 hours notice[9], it's a total lifesaver for birthdays! No more worrying about forgetting to order a cake.
- 🤝 A+ Service: The staff (both guys and girls) are super nice and they reply to messages quickly. I heard that when a friend was running late from work, they were willing to wait a little longer for her to pick up her cake[10]. That kind of service deserves a big thumbs up! 👍
