Vanilla Citron (47k) 8.5/10
Favourite tart in Chicory. You could really taste the vanilla bean and it’s perfectly balanced with the zestiness of the lemon curd. For some reason the crust in this one was way crunchier and more buttery than the fruits based ones.

Omelette (155k) 8/10
Served with your choice of cheese (I picked brie). Really well made omelette, soft and fluffy without bring too runny, and top notch ciabatta as well. The cheese adds nice accent to the dish particularly after it melts.

French Toast (160k) 8/10
Priciest french toast I’ve tried here hahaha🙃. That said, I really liked the unique combination of fruits (pitaya and papaya) over your usual berries. Interior was perfectly custardy, which is my preferred for french toast. Value wise, you can get great french toast at other places (e.g. Levant and Beau).

Almond Croissant (42k) 8/10
Perfectly crispy, flaky, and buttery. Chicory and Levant have been my go to for croissants in Jakarta (not including the recent influx of Bali brands opening here Lol). Not the most generous in terms of filling, however in this case this was actually a good thing since the almond frangipane was quite sweet.

Carrot Cake (60k) 7.5/10
Personally my favourite cake in Jakarta. Imo this is better than Union’s. Keep in mind that I don’t like my carrot cake filled with nuts so the sparse mix in is actually a plus for me. Very fragrant with spices and not too sweet, also they give the right amount of cream cheese, not too much but not too little.

Wildberry Tart (60k) 7/10
More sour vs the pear but not as much as the vanilla citron. Good solid option for most people I reckon, simple berry combination but perfectly balanced with sweet-sour taste. Crust wise unfortunately this one was pretty soggy and not buttery enough. It tasted kind if bland.

Coffee Profiterole (25k) 7/10
Very strong dominant coffee flavour. It’s good but not to the extent that I’m craving this again. Mom’s a fan though. Will recommend eating this cold.

Pear and Blueberry (60k) 6/10
My ratings went down for this one since for some reason there was barely any blueberry in the tart (they used to be more generous). The parts where you get both fruits are still the best part, but the pear section is not too bad either, mildly sweet and not too eneg. Crust wise, unfortunately the same as the pear and blueberry one.

Cocoa 70% with Almond (52k) 6/10
Pretty good hot chocolate but probably won’t repurchase. Couldn’t taste the almond and it’s not as thick as I would have liked.

64% Cocoa with Earl Grey (50k) 5/10
Prefer the 70% since this one is ‘nanggung’ like both the chocolate and earl grey flavours were both too mild.

Passionfruit Creme Pistachio (57k) 5/10
Not a fan of mousse so I still prefer their other goods. This was well made and mousse was incredibly light, however the ratio was off for me. Imo there was not enough pistachio cake and biscuit. As a result, the sourness of the passionfruit was quite overwhelming for me.

Chicken Pie (90k) 3/10
The only fail I’ve had here so far. Skip. Bland, soggy pie. Portion is massive but there’s really no flavour.
