Baklava French Toast (100k) 7.5/10
As a self proclaimed french toast connoisseur, I had to try this menu. I was a bit taken aback with how big the portion was but overall it was quite good. The croissant loaf concept was really unique unfortunately couldn’t really taste the croissant layers. I think the loaves got soaked by all the decadent toppings of pistachio custard, mascarpone, honey, and ice cream. All these components tasted great but did make the croissant heavy after a while. The freshness from the berries really helped to lighten the dish though.

Smoked Salmon Croque Madame (130k) 6.5/10
Fairly straightforward dish. Well done tweak done to a classic brunch menu if a bit monotone in taste for me. My friend noted that smoked salmons were too little vs the bread ratio. We also couldn’t really taste the truffle in this dish. The mustard and smoked salmon did prevent the dish from being too heavy.

Red Velvet (10/10)
My favourite cake in Indonesia. Consistent quality over the years with the taste never changing. I was once gifted this cake and ate 4 slices of this cake in one sitting. Balanced cream cheese to cake ratio and very generous amount of crunchy nougat.

Roasted Baby Chicken (150k) 7.5/10
As someone who typically only ordered cakes from Union, I was pleasantly surprised by this menu. Portion was quite big despite being a baby chicken and the meat was juicy and tender. It was also quite flavorful to ear on its own without any additional sauce. They ran out of salsa verde so the sauce was substituted with mushroom (not a big deal). French fries were also executed nicely, being perfectly crunchy without overly crispy. Perfect level of saltiness as well.

After passing by this place a dozen times, I finally decided to try their famous kouign amann. One of the rare visit where everything we got was pretty spot on. Will return for other items next time😆.

Kouign Amann + Iced Vanilla Roasted Latte (80k)
Kouign Amann 8.5/10
Papilion kouign amann is often touted as the best in town and I can see why. Most KA I’ve tried here tends to be sticky and bready. This one was very flakey and crispy exterior while being soft and chewy inside. Not overbearingly sweet as well.

Iced Vanilla Roasted Latte 7.5/10
Iced vanilla roasted latte was a nice surprise. I was expecting a generic vanilla essence but this actually tasted like baileys? Coffee could be stronger but since this was my third cup of the day it’s probably a good thing. Would ask for less sugar next time)

Chocolate Eclair (60k) 7.5/10
Got this from the Huize Van Weily counter. Nice amount of filling inside, the creaminess was balanced well with the dark chocolate on top. Cacao nibs on the top also added nice crunch. Choux pastry itself was firm without being too dry or hard.

Ice chocolate (47k) 7/10
Despite ordering the regular version (cause the premium was like 90k lol) this was good enough already. Nice balanced of bitter, sweet, and creamy. One minus is that bits of cocoa powder remain unmixed. Weirdly enough we enjoyed the gritty texture but I don’t think this was intended by the barista hahaha.

Babka French Toast (discontinued) 9.5/10
Beau please bring this menu back🥲. Don’t think there’s any other place serving their french toast like this right now. Used to be my go to order as it’s very chocolatey and nutty. Very rich and decadent, almost like you are eating cake vs bread.

Jackfruit Tacos (70k) 8/10
Best vegan tacos I’ve tried in Jakarta. Crunchy tacos with BBQ pulled jackfruit. Vegan sour cream was yummy and there’s nice tanginess from the salsa. A repeat order for me.

Butternut Squash Soup (75k) 5.5/10
Omitted the mascarpone to made it vegan. Mildly sweet and there’s a nuce creaminess to it. Tasted decent but nothing special.

Extra review about their baked goods:
Vegan Banana Chocolate Cake (105k) 6.5/10
Decent but very mushy. Pronounced banana flavours. Got eneg after a while so best for sharing.

Miso White Chocolate Cookies (45k) 6.5/10
Got this as complimentary for buying the soft serve. Quite unique flavour profile from the miso and white chocolate. Texture was more chewy with crunchy exterior. Pretty good but too sweet after a while.
