Discover A&M Co., a viral all-in-one spot in Solo that offers a true love-hate experience. Fall for the stunning garden ambiance, live music, and photogenic corners perfect for a night out. But brace yourself for frustrating service and hit-or-miss food. While the pastries and steak are must-tries, the real secret is the hidden club inside. This place is all about the vibe, so go for the atmosphere but manage your expectations for everything else.
Girls, I just got back from Solo and I have to tell you guys about this place, A&M Co., that put my mood on a rollercoaster! Honestly, the moment I stepped into their outdoor area with the garden, listening to the live band's music, I fell for it right on the spot… The vibe, the Chill mood, it's practically tailor-made for Nongkrong! 😮💨
This place is huge, an all-in-one stop with everything from a restaurant and café to a bakery and bar. Every corner is super photogenic, so whether you want to chat with your besties in the garden or have a little romantic moment indoors with your partner, you can find the perfect spot[1]. At night, when the band and DJ come on, the atmosphere is straight-up Mantap!
As for the food, the few things I ordered were pretty decent.
Alright, enough with the praise, it's time to get real. ⚠️
The biggest issue with this place is its service! Anjay, it was seriously frustrating. The staff acted like they were playing 'hard to get' the whole time—we'd wave for ages and no one would come, we had to repeat our order three times, and they even misheard my friend's order for "Truffle Cream Poached Egg" as "ice cream"[2]… I was speechless. Also, the portion sizes are on the small side, and considering the relatively high prices for Solo, it hurt the wallet a bit[3]. The flavors are also inconsistent. While my order was fine, my friend's pizza felt like it was made with a frozen crust, which was a bit of a letdown[4].
- The pastries are the real highlight; that Chocolate Ribbon Croissant[5] was so perfectly flaky, I absolutely loved it.
- For the main course, we went for the Tasmanian Salmon[6]. The fish was cooked just right, and that sauce was seriously addictive.
- My colleague's Wagyu[7] also got high praise; they said it was great value to get that kind of quality for the price.
The Real-Talk Guide, You're Welcome!
So, this place is a real mix of heaven and hell. I'd recommend it to friends who are all about the vibe, aren't on a tight budget, and have a good attitude. If you're a pure foodie, you might be a little disappointed. Have you guys been? Let's chat in the comments! 👇
- Why come here? Mainly for the environment and atmosphere. Treat it as a high-end social spot for drinking, taking photos, and listening to music, and you'll have a great experience. As for the food and service, you absolutely must lower your expectations.
- What to order? Go for the pastries[8] and steak[9]; you basically can't go wrong. Other dishes are a gamble, so try them with caution.
- How to Avoid Pitfalls: If you're coming for a birthday, you must, must, MUST double- and triple-check your reservation with the staff! I've heard stories of people who pre-ordered a cake only to have it forgotten[10]…
- Hidden Easter Egg: I'll let you in on a little secret, there's a hidden club in the shop![11] If you're brave enough, just ask the staff directly, and you'll be in for a surprise! 😉
- A&M Co.'s garden patio has a live band and major Chill vibes. The perfect spot to Nongkrong!
- The Chocolate Ribbon Croissant is perfectly flaky[1], the Tasmanian Salmon sauce is addictive[2], and the Wagyu is a steal for the price[3]!
- There's a hidden club inside[4]! Ask the staff for the entrance and expect a surprise 😉.
