Curious about the viral Mula Medan? This trendy spot is a dessert lover's paradise! Find out why its stunning minimalist decor is all over social media and why the Brûlée Burnt Cheesecake is a must-try. But be warned: while the desserts are divine, the main courses might disappoint. This guide gives you all the tips for the perfect visit, from what to order to how to beat the weekend crowds and parking nightmares.
Anjay! Do young people in Medan not have to work?! Came to Mula Medan with friends over the weekend, and wow, the line at the door was so long I thought I was at a concert[1]. The hype on TikTok is no joke[2].
After squeezing in, the ambiance is truly Mantap! The pure white, minimalist design has amazing natural light, kind of gives you the feeling of nongkrong at a Bali cafe, and it's super photogenic. We placed our order, and the food came out pretty fast because you order and pay yourself by scanning a QR code[3], which gets a thumbs up from me.
Desserts are divine, but the main courses… emmm
Let's get straight to the point: If you have a sweet tooth, just go for it!
The Brûlée Burnt Cheesecake[4] we ordered was absolutely incredible. It has a crispy caramelized layer on top with melt-in-your-mouth cheesecake underneath. It's sweet but not overwhelming, so good it could make you cry! And that super cute French Crème Brûlée Crepe[5], both its looks and taste were on point. Recommended!
BUT! To be honest, their main courses are a bit hard to put into words… My friend's Cola Chicken Rice[6] was so salty it made them question their existence, and the portions are generally on the small side. I felt like the chicken I ordered was a bit "hollow" when I bit into it[7]. The value for money isn't great. For those of you who want a full meal, you might want to grab a bite somewhere else first. 😅
A Guide to Visiting (Take it, you're welcome!)
For the girls planning to check this place out, I've put together a 'How to Avoid the Pitfalls' guide 👇
✅ Go for it:
⚠️ Things to watch out for:
- Desserts! Desserts! Desserts! Important things must be said three times. You can't go wrong ordering any of the cheesecakes with your eyes closed.
- Come here for your birthday! They have a super special celebration service where the staff will come sing with you in a mascot costume. The atmosphere is maxed out[8]!
- For the photo lovers. Find a spot by the window, and you'll get amazing shots in minutes.
- If you get cold easily, definitely bring a jacket! The indoor AC is blasting like a freezer; I almost froze on the spot[9].
- Don't drive! Parking is extremely limited; looking for a spot will drive you crazy[10].
- Don't have high expectations for the main courses. Think of it as a place specifically for desserts and afternoon tea, and you'll have a much better mindset.
- Pick your time wisely! It's best to come on a weekday afternoon, otherwise, you'll seriously be waiting in line until the end of time on weekends.
- Clean, white design and amazing natural light for total Bali cafe vibes. Every shot is a masterpiece. [1][2]
- You HAVE to try the Brûlée Burnt Cheesecake. The crunchy caramelized top and melt-in-your-mouth cheese is to-die-for. [3]
- For birthdays, staff sing in mascot costumes to max out the party vibes! It's super lively. [4]
