Black Forest Cafe — Restaurant in Yogyakarta

Don't trust the good reviews The food was diabolical, being a vegan, I admittedly came with high expectations and i am very happy there is conscious food options. I am just confused by all these good reviews. I ordered 2 burgers, a mixed fried platter, the bitterlballen and a ceaser salad. The original burger was okay, while the special burger was borderline inedible, taste like the smell of dog food. Ceaser salad had that sweet bread as croutons that went soggy immediately, and a super sweet truffley sauce that didnt go with the rest of the flavours. The mixed fry plate and the bitteballen were decent. For 2, I spent 301k. Way too much for the quality.

Charged 10% on top of the prices, even though I couldn't find it written anywhere. This left an even worst taste in my mouth than the food. Please stop doing this dodgy, deceitful pricing tactic immediately. Put the price that people will pay on your menu.

Atmosphere and venue...

We stopped by for some lunch, and enjoyed the food. Firstly, the menu is pretty extensive and there’s lots of good vegan options. Drinks are 5/5, food is 4/5. There are definitely better tasting food options elsewhere but for the convenience of so many vegan options in one place it’s worth a visit. After eating we were in agreement this place is a 4/5. That said, we’ve had to give a 3/5 overall due to their justification of the bill at the end.

One of the party swapped a meat substitute (beef) for another (chicken burger) with her initial bill costing 30K, and was charged 70K on the bill (over 2x the price of the initial meal!). Not only this, the other meal (Katsu chicken curry) containing this was cheaper at 55K. Feeling we’d been unfairly charged we even challenged this and were dismissed! It’s not acceptable to overcharge soley as a money...

We went there twice and tried:

Sides • fried enoki mushrooms (were okay) • Tahu Cohol (fried Tofu; was okay, but a bit dry) • Tempe Mendoan - highly recommend!! Big Portion, delicious

In my opinion there could be better sauces for all side dishes.

Main • Vegan Soto was good • Jamur Geprek was okay (mushroom was chewy and almost "raw" instead of crispy fried; not very spicy) • Spaghetti Carbonara was good (sauce not reeeaally Carbonara-Style) • Vegan Rendang was good but a small portion • Caesar Salad (a bit disappointing; warm; small portion, plain/not pan-fried "chicken")

Dessert •Cinnamonroll was good

Drinks: • Oreo Vanilla Frappe, Frappuccino and Hazelnut Latte were delicious! Litchi chilled tea was okay (no litchi Taste, more like Kids toothpaste).

Staff is friendly and attentive; speaks...
