A legendary dessert shop from Yogyakarta has finally landed in West Jakarta, serving what might be the city's best mille crêpe for only 32k! This review raves about the divine, melt-in-your-mouth texture, highlighting the Matcha flavor as a must-try. However, it also gives an honest heads-up: while the crêpe cakes are perfection, other menu items like coffee and pastries can be inconsistent. Head over for the amazing cake and cozy, Japanese-style vibes, but maybe skip the rest.
I've long heard my friends who went to university in Yogyakarta rave about this shop[1], saying it was the stuff of legends from their student days and a must-go for every Nongkrong session. Who would've thought it would now open in West Jakarta! As a seasoned dessert lover, I had to rush over and try it for my girls right away!
The shop isn't big, and the decor is that simple, clean, Japanese style, which is very comfortable. With the afternoon sun streaming in, you could pair it with a slice of cake and just Chill all afternoon. Anjay! They even provide UNO and board games[2], so I can bring my friends for a round next time.
The Cake is Divine, but the Rest is...
Getting straight to the point, I was of course here for their star product—the Mille Crepes[3]! I ordered the most popular Matcha flavor[4] and the Tiramisu flavor.
For real, the moment my fork cut into it, I knew it was a winner. The layers were distinct, the cream was super fine, and it melted in my mouth without being cloying at all! The slight bitterness of the matcha and the sweetness of the cream were perfectly balanced. Mantap! It's the best mille crepe I've had in Jakarta, bar none!
BUT! To be fair, this shop is a bit of a one-trick pony. The mille crepe is king, but the other products are... emmm. I also grabbed a madeleine, and the texture was a bit hard and stiff, with a faint hint of a refrigerator taste[5]. It was an instant turn-off. My friend also said the coffee they ordered was pretty average[6]. So, just come here for the mille crepes, and don't have high expectations for anything else.
Editor's Highlights 📝
Here's a handy guide for you, take it, you're welcome!
- 💰Price: A slice of mille crepe is basically around 32k-33k Indonesian Rupiah[7]. For this quality, the value for money is off the charts!
- 👍Must-Order: All flavors of the mille crepe! Order any of them, you can't go wrong. My personal favorites are Matcha and Tiramisu.
- 👎What to Avoid: Anything other than the mille crepes... like the madeleines and milk bread. The quality is a bit inconsistent, so it's a matter of luck.
- 🚗Getting There: There are very few parking spots out front[8], so driving yourself is a bit of a hassle. I'd recommend taking the bus (JAK51 or JAK30 will take you right there[9]) or a ride-hailing service to save yourself the trouble.
- 💡Tips: The atmosphere is cozy, perfect for an afternoon tea with the girls, a date, or just coming alone to clear your head[10]. However, the AC seemed to be broken the day I went, so it was a bit hot. Hope the shop fixes it soon. It can get crowded during peak hours, so be prepared
- Jakarta's best mille-crepe, period! Fork glides through, cream melts. Matcha's bitter-sweet balance is pure perfection [1].
- Only 32k-33k IDR for this divine mille-crepe! Unbeatable quality and value in Jakarta [2].
