I have to admit, Kayu Manis area is rarely to have decent place to sit and eat, including ice cream shop. So no wonder when Mixue finally open here in Kayu Manis 8, people flocking to buy their ice cream.

The first time I visit here, the small place was totally crowded so I only bought for takeaway a Mango Smoothies with ice cream at IDR 16K. Not bad, the mango balance the sweetness from the ice cream.

The second time, I saw that chocolate is run out and no coffee based drink available. So I got another two for takeaway : Ice cream tea at IDR 13K and Lucky Sundae at IDR 16K (since they have no chocolate at the time, they add strawberry). Not bad. 

Affordable and can be your friend during hot day. 

Went here to enjoy their ice cream. A bit surprise to see the place. The indoor area is quite cozy, they even have semi outdoor area too. And there are also electricity plugs as well. 

Ice cream at IDR 8K is good, satisfying. Their service is okay. The place is also clean. For the payment, they receive both cashless and cash. 

THird visit here, simply because the location near the door as I brought my mother. I ordered for both of us: 

Berrybiscous hot tea (IDR 39K) 
I like that sweet and fruity aroma as I pour the hot tea into the cup. 

Babka nutella (IDR 30K) 
Well, my mom and me like nutella, so the taste can't go wrong. We like the twisted look on the bread and the nutella filling through out the cake. 

Vanilla Latte (IDR 41K) 
MY FAVE! very creamy, but still has that hint of coffee. 

The service still okay, they quickly prepare seat, seeing that I brought an elderly to dine in. Since we have already eaten, we only have pastry and drinks and sit at indoor area.

If you wish to order pastry, you can check out at the display and choose one or more. They will bring it to your table once you told them the location of your seats. 

The place is a bit hidden, and at first I was planning to have their toast. Then I saw that they also serves Burger Geber. And not to mention, that if I pay cashless, there is cashback IDR 10K. 

It has area for driver to wait the order being made, semi outdoor, outdoor area and of course indoor area. Lucky for me, when I arrived, there are still empty seats at indoor area. But is not much. There are only 3 tables, each with two seats.

I ordered iced chocolate regular (IDR 20K) & burger.... NOPE! I changed my mind instantly when I see the menu. They serves rice box menu too. So at IDR 25K, I have SI GEMBER SAMBAL MERAH (rice with sunny side up & spicy chicken in slices). Everything with chilli on it, is going to be fine. 

Went here with my friend using MRT, and we took D EXIT & only need a few minutes walk and arrive at Urban Forest Cipete.

Since it was lunch time, most restaurants packed with visitors. We decided to have pizza and chose this place.

 Almost didn't get indoor seating, but we finally got a table for the two of us. We ordered Quattro Formaggi pizza. Both of us loves cheese, and they have 4 cheeses for the dish (hence the name) : Mozzarella, Gorgonzola, Parmesan & Ricotta added with Bechamel. You get that creamy, tangy, nutty, and salty all at the same time :) I have to say that I'm completely FULL (and happy) after eating 3 slices. 

About the restaurant: 
They have indoor & semi outdoor area. But since the weather can be terribly hot then suddenly raining cats & dogs, better sit inside. They serves us politely and helpful.


If you sit near the entrance door, you will be able to see them make pizza from scratch. 

Minus for me: 
Every meal is too pricey for me. Quattro Formaggi is at IDR 150k (before svc & tax & ADMIN FEE )

Round up amount for the bill. 

We have to scan the menu, then order from there then proceed with the payment. A bit of a handful for me, as when I first try, they auto connect to delivery order. After second attempt, then I manage to proceed with the order & payment.   

Second place to visit while hanging around at Urban Forest Cipete. I was curious about their gelato. And again, the place was full with people. But thankfully, when we were about to order for takeaway, someone has finished their meal and the table is available for us. So, my friend sit while I went in to order our gelato.

I ordered 2 medium cup after hesitating should I ordered it in cone or not? 

For medium cup: price at IDR 75 K (NETT).

My friend have pistachio and matcha tea. While I have Stracciatella and Cioccolato.

If you are dine in alone, better have the gelato in a cup. As the gelato quickly melted. 

We were about to take off when rain suddenly pouring down. Many people suddenly enter the restaurants to take cover. Including those who sit at outdoor area. My friend and I sat at semi outdoor area, near the entrance door. The indoor area are full with people, and the area is not spacious. 

Then we noticed that RivaReno Gelato is in one building with MONOCHROME Coffee and Roastery. And So, we ordered hot chocolate (IDR 60K!) and my friend ordered latte and crepes with stracciatella. Yes, the hot chocolate is pricey, thankfully is good, not too sweet, and rich with chocolate.  
P.S. There is also restroom here, though not located at indoor area, near the outdoor area.
