Tired from shopping at Kota Kasablanka? You might stumble upon WONE, a French pastry shop with a perfect 5.0 Google rating. But with only three reviews, is it truly a gem? This piece gives an honest take, finding the cakes pretty but average and the vibe more of a convenient rest stop than a destination cafe. It’s a decent option if you're already there, but don't go out of your way for the supposed "perfect" experience.
My legs were about to fall off from shopping at Kokas this weekend, and I was originally just looking for a random place to Nongkrong for a bit. I did a quick search, and huh? A French pastry shop called WONE actually has a perfect 5.0 rating on Google? 🤔 Anjay, is it that amazing?
But then I looked at the number of reviews... 3. I was a bit confused by this, so with a"let's see just how amazing it really is" attitude, I headed straight over.
So, how good is it really?
The shop is right inside Kota Kasablanka. The ambiance is that of a typical mall café—clean and bright, but in terms of being well-designed, not really. It's just a standard spot to rest your feet.
The small cakes in the display case were quite exquisitely made; they definitely nailed the French Patisserie look. I just ordered the one that looked the most appealing and paired it with a coffee.
How should I put it? The taste... played it safe. The cake was a little too sweet for me, and the layers of flavor weren't very distinct, but it wasn't bad either. The coffee was just a normal coffee; it did its job of waking me up. The whole experience was just"Oh, it's okay." I had absolutely no urge to post on my social media and exclaim"Mantap!"
So, is it worth a visit?
To be honest, if you go in with the expectation of a"perfect 5.0 Google-rated gem," you'll most likely be disappointed. It's not bad, but it definitely can't live up to the perfect 5.0 halo. Those 3 reviews? I'm guessing they were probably friendly contributions from friends and family... 😅
But if you just happen to be shopping at Kokas, your legs are sore, and you want to find a place to sit down and Chill for a bit and have a decent piece of dessert that can't go wrong, then this place is a decent option. Its biggest advantage is convenience; you don't have to leave the mall.
A no-BS guide
So, do you all get what I mean? Worth a try if you're passing by, but no need to make a special trip. 🤷♀️ Have any of you been there? Let's chat in the comments, am I being too picky?
- Who is it for? Girls who are tired from shopping at Kota Kasablanka and desperately need a place to sit down, recharge, and recover.
- Is it worth a special trip? Personally, I don't think so. There are plenty of delicious French pastry shops in Jakarta, and this one isn't special enough to warrant a dedicated visit.
- How to order? Don't have high expectations. Treat it like a regular mall café; just ordering a drink to sit for a while is totally OK. If you want dessert, just pick the one that looks the best—at least it'll look good in photos.
- Why Google 5.0 with only 3 reviews? This intriguing contrast demands a visit!
- The exquisite French Patisserie are so stunning, every photo is Instagram-perfect. Pure visual delight!
- Shopping fatigue from Kokas? This is your essential 'recharge & recover' pit stop . Chill out without even leaving the mall!
