Don't be fooled by its tiny storefront! Yummi Company is Pekanbaru's hidden gem, earning a near-perfect rating for its incredible baked goods. This carb lover's paradise is famous for its must-try Korean Garlic Cheese Bread, which is worth the 10-minute wait for its warm, bursting-with-flavor center. Also, don't miss their signature Bolen! The space is small, making it perfect for a quick takeout run to grab some of the city's most hyped-up treats.
Honestly, when I first got to the entrance of Yummi Company, I had a moment of doubt... Such a small storefront, can it really compete in Pekanbaru? 🤔 The 4.9 rating from nearly 600 reviews on Google[1], could they be fake?
But as soon as I went in, I was warmed by the enthusiasm of the staff. They were so gercep (quick and efficient)! The service was super friendly, Mantap! 👍
A Carb Lover's Paradise
Taking everyone's advice, I went straight for the most recommended Korean Garlic Cheese Bread[2]. The staff said it needed to be freshly baked and heated for 10 minutes, and at the time I wondered if it was necessary. But the moment I got it... Anjay! The outside was slightly crispy, and the inside was bursting with garlic and cheese sauce. The warm texture is truly a cure for everything, those 10 minutes were so worth the wait!
Of course, I couldn't miss their signature Bolen[3], which they call the 'Bolen of Pekanbaru'! I tried the banana chocolate flavor, and the sweetness was just right, not cloying at all. The ingredients were generous, and the banana and chocolate blended together perfectly. I feel like next time I could try the melted cheese flavor (Bolen Keju Lumer).
I also spotted their new Japanese Cheesecake[4]. The poster said it's 'super fluffy and cloudy', and the cheese lover DNA in me was already tingling. I have to get it next time!
Let's be real…
But I have to say, the space inside is really not that big[5]. It wasn't too crowded when I went, but I can imagine that during a promotion, the table in the middle would definitely block the way, and the queuing experience would probably suffer. So, this place is more suitable for takeout. Friends who want to sit down, Nongkrong, and chat might have to find another spot.
Pro Tips & Money-Saving Guide
Alright, as usual, here are the key takeaways:
- Best Time to Enjoy: If you want the best Korean Garlic Cheese Bread, you must allow the full 10 minutes for heating[6]. Don't rush them! The texture is truly different.
- Go During Off-Peak Hours: Be sure to follow their IG! If you see they're having a big promotion (like spending 350K to get a free movie ticket[7] or something), either go early or go late. Otherwise, it'll be so crowded you'll question your life choices.
- Look Out for Pop-ups: They are great at organizing community events and often set up Pop-up Booths in various malls[8]. If you don't want to travel far, you can wait for one of these. It feels like all the young people in Pekanbaru have become their fans. 💚
- Korean Garlic Bread: Crispy shell bursting with molten garlic cheese. Warm, comforting, and worth the 10-minute wait [1]!
- Signature Bolen: Packed with a perfectly sweet banana-chocolate filling—not too rich. A fantastic banana-choco fusion [2].
- The new Japanese Cheesecake is 'super fluffy and cloudy'. That description alone awakens your inner cheese-lover [3]
