West Jakarta Dessert Crawl: 3 Spots Worth the Sugar Rush
Whether you’re a certified dessert lover or just looking for something sweet to brighten your day, West Jakarta has plenty of spots that go beyond the usual. From innovative ice cream creations to melt-in-your-mouth cheesecakes, here are three standout places that deserve a spot on your foodie checklist.
1. Maison Féerie – Central Park Mall
Highlight: Cannoli Ice Cream
Maison Féerie brings a fresh twist to the classic ice cream experience — and it’s definitely not your average cone. Instead of a waffle cone, they use a crispy cannoli shell that adds a rich, buttery crunch to every bite.
There are two main flavors to choose from:
-
Butterscotch: sweet, creamy, and indulgent — great for those who prefer bold, sugary notes.
-
Dark Chocolate: rich and velvety with a premium, slightly bitter finish that chocolate lovers will appreciate.
The texture of the ice cream itself is denser than usual, making it more filling and luxurious. It’s perfect if you want something both playful and decadent.
? Tip: Eat it fast — the shell can get soggy if you take too long (but honestly, you won’t be able to wait anyway).
2. Artirasa – Puri
Highlight: Perfect Cheesetart
Artirasa has made a name for itself across social media — and for good reason. Their cheesetarts are one of the best in town, especially if you like your desserts with a strong cheese profile.
The tart is filled with a creamy, molten cheesecake center that practically melts as you bite into it. The flavor leans savory-sweet, with just the right amount of tanginess. The crust is buttery and crisp, creating a perfect balance between soft and crunchy textures.
This dessert isn’t just for cheese lovers — it’s for anyone who enjoys a thoughtful, well-crafted bite.
? Location: Jl. Puri Indah Raya No.8, Blok H2, Jakarta Barat
? Tip: Best eaten onsite as it melts pretty quickly.
3. Sini Lagi – Puri
Highlights: Salt Bread & Bolo Bun with Butter
While Sini Lagi is better known as a casual local bakery, their salt bread and bolo buns are lowkey some of the most satisfying snacks you can find.
-
Salt Bread: Soft, slightly dry (not greasy!) — it gives a comforting, savory bite that pairs well with coffee or tea.
-
Bolo Bun with Butter: A classic Hong Kong-style bun featuring a sweet, crunchy top and fluffy interior. Add a slice of butter in the middle, and you get a warm, melty combo of sweet and salty that’s seriously addictive.
? Location: Ruko Puri Kencana, Jl. Puri Kencana Blok K7/3U, Jakarta Barat
? Tip: These sell out fast, especially in the mornings. Go early or check their socials for fresh batch times.
