Cafe Brick — Restaurant in Sinduharjo

Just had lunch at this place with hubby and our son. We came right during lunch time and we thought it would be crowded. Surprisingly , it's not busy. We still got space at car park.

When we came inside, feels like we were in London ☺, with bricks wall and another interior that describes the London's vibe. Also, first my eyes was caught on a cake display. There are many cakes on display and looks delicious 😋

We choose to get a table on 1st floor instead of on 2nd floor. Also had a baby chair for our son. From our small table, we still manage to see the view and the staffs which busy preparing the drinks.

From the menu, for breakfast menu they had English breakie, pancake, English muffin, fruits bowl. Also salads, soups, fried rices, main courses, pastas, side dishes, sandwiches. Many choices of beverages like coffees, frappes, some Mojitos, juices, teas and slightly I read on menu is Cappuccino on a cone.

For the price still on average range, however it's still not included 5% service tax yet.

We choose Penne Chicken Mushroom for our son, Fettuccine Carbonara for hubby, and I choose to skip lunch for having Chocolate Cheese Cake ☺. Beverages, we get Black Ice Tea for our son, Green Mojito for hubby and Java Chip Frappe for me.

When the food is served, we tried both of pasta. Personally I prefer the penne, however the sauce is little bit salty. And for fettuccine also had a good taste. Whille the green mojito is too sweet for me. They add Kiwifruit inside the mojito. For Java Chip Frappe, it's had a good taste.I still feel the coffee as well. I ordered it without whipped cream and less sweet. And it's a good idea. My Chocolate Cheese Cake is delicious and it had a huge portion. At least for me

As far as I remember from the cake display, they had Red Velvet Cake, Opera cake, Tiramisu cake, Strawberry Cheesecake , Oreo Cheesecake, Chocolate Cheesecake, Nutella Mud Pie, Oreo Layer, Maccarons, Chocolate Truffle, Salted Caramel Cake, Marcopolo.

For guests whose like to take picture, this place ideal for you. It's so instagramable, either inside or outside.

Overall, this place is lovely and also open for 24hrs. It's a good place to bring toddler, young family or eventhough for dining alone. The Wi-Fi connection also good. So, you may doing some works as well.

Hopefully this review will help...

I wanted to give them 5 stars but I ended up giving 2 because of the unfriendly treatment that I receive from one of the waitresses and the staffs.

Yesterday, I went to their co-working space (Beehive) to do some work with my friends. We planned that after the work is done, we were going to take some pictures in Beehive and Cafe Brick because they are famous with the Instagramable place. But later on, we realized that it was forbidden to take some pictures in Beehive (there's the sign that we cannot take some pictures inside Beehive). So we decided to take the pictures in Cafe Brick instead.

One thing that I understand, we have to order meal/snack/beverage first before we are allowed to take some pictures there. While we were already ordering some menu in Beehive, it should be allright if we took some pictures in Cafe Brick. But then, when we entered the Cafe Brick with one of my friends holding a camera, some waitresses in the bar started looking at us in unfriendly way. They started talking behind us and kept looking at us. This made us feel uncomfortable and decided to not taking other pictures.

Maybe they thought that we just came in and started taking some pictures without ordering anything first. I think that it was really unprofessional doing something like that. Even if there is someone who have not ordering anything yet, they can just ask politely whether their customer have ordering something or not, rather than looking them in unfriendly way and talking behind the...

Tempatnya cantik. No doubt about that. Now we've got that out of the way, let's get to the main issue at hand. The Food.

I came in a group of 16 people. Some of us enjoyed the food, some of us don't.

Our biggest problem with the food is almost all of them came nearly cold. The plating was all so pretty. I guess that's the problem, the cook was to busy with plating that they took too long to prepare the food.

My personal biggest problem was with my order. I ordered Aglio Olio pasta. Hoping that I will get the real simple taste of the garlic-infused olive oil pasta. Nope, that's not the case. Instead, I got the most complicated pasta ever. An artisanal fettuccine pasta, with chilli-infused oil with shrimps and tons of other toppings (check out the only pic I posted)

My suggestion, change the name of the dish because that's not Aglio Olio Pasta.

On a positive note, the staffs were all great. Well-mannered and attentive. 5 stars for the service 5 stars for the cleanliness 2 stars...
