A classic Kebumen bakery gets a major glow-up! This renovated spot is now a trendy destination offering everything from traditional snacks to delicious Gelato. Don't leave without trying their legendary meat floss bun (Roti Abon), praised for its soft texture and unique sweet-and-savory cream. Despite potential long lines and small Gelato portions, the super affordable prices and cool, modern vibe make it a must-visit for a taste of both the old and the new.
Honestly, if it weren't for my GPS telling me I was in the right place, I would've thought I was lost. Is this still the old bakery in Kebumen that I've been eating at since I was a kid? The renovation is so trendy! The entrance was packed with cars, and it was crowded with people inside. Anjay, what big event is happening here? 🤔
As soon as I walked in, the whole space was bright and airy, the AC was blasting, and it was super chill to walk around. From bread, cakes, and traditional snacks to Gelato, there were so many options that my analysis paralysis was kicking in. I immediately went straight for my absolute favorite—the meat floss bun (Roti Abon)[1]! This thing is truly the GOAT. The bread itself is super soft and fluffy, topped with savory meat floss, but the highlight is the cream filling inside. The mix of sweet and savory is just Mantap in one bite! You really can't find this flavor anywhere else. 💯
I also grabbed a cup of Gelato[2]. The matcha flavor gets a thumbs up; it has a slight bitterness and isn't like those overly sweet, artificial types. Love it, love it 🍵. Even the simplest white bread (Roti Tawar)[3] is made incredibly soft. That's the skill of an old, established brand for you.
But to be honest, it wasn't without its flaws. Although the Gelato was delicious, the portion was really small[4]. It was gone in two or three bites, leaving me wanting more. I also heard some people found some of the bread to be sticky to the teeth[5], and the macarons to be too sweet and all that. Seems like quality control needs to Nongkrong a bit sometimes, huh. Also, the checkout line. If you go on a holiday, be mentally prepared. The line is long enough to wrap around the store three times[6].
Pro Tips for Your Visit (You're Welcome)
Alright, I'll highlight the key points for you. For the girls who want to check it out, take notes ✍️:
- Best Time to Go: The bread usually comes out of the oven after 2 PM and is super popular. If you want to buy the popular items, get there early[7]!
- Price Reference: Super high value for money! Small breads are around 6k-8k, a slice of cake is about 20k, and a whole cake is just a little over 100k. A cup of Gelato is less than 15k. What more could you ask for?
- How to Avoid Pitfalls: A heads-up for those buying cupcakes: the packaging isn't very sturdy. Be careful on your way home if you're getting takeout, or it'll turn into a piece of abstract art by the time you get there[8].
- Payment Methods: Cashless payment is available[9], which is super friendly for an 'i-person' like me who's too lazy to carry cash!
- Dine-in Experience: Although there are seats in the store, they're practically non-existent when it's crowded. I'd recommend getting it to-go and finding a comfortable spot to Nongkrong.
- Kebumen's legendary bakery got a trendy renovation! A total glow-up that shatters childhood memories. You have to see it [1]!
- The Roti Abon is a perfect sweet-salty mix with fluffy bread & a killer cream filling. One bite is straight Mantap, a taste you can't get elsewhere [2]!
- Matcha Gelato has a nice bitter kick, not just sickly sweet. Even the simple Roti Tawar is incredibly soft—the old spot's still got it [3].
