Martabak Cafe — Restaurant in West Covina

The parking here is great! From my experience, there's usually plenty of spaces available here. This little Plaza area does have quite a few businesses but I never see it super busy to the point where it's hard to find a parking space.

Let's get started on what this place is about, martabak! There are plenty of varieties that you can order from them! This time, I ordered the ovolmaltine, cheese, and peanuts. Regardless of the combo you order, it's going to be rich and buttery!! The one that I ordered was very delicious. The ovolmaltine is already a bit of a crunchy spread and the crushed peanuts helped give more texture as well. The cheese compliments everything with a bit of saltiness and creaminess.

This treat is definitely a TREAT. I would love to eat one every day but I'm afraid I'd gain too many pounds too fast 🤣 This is a worth it indulgence though! They're pretty much the only place around here that makes martabak.

I would come back to get the sweetcorn and cheese combo!

NOTE: Call in your order. As far as I know, they don't allow walk-in orders. It takes around 15 to 20 minutes for each order, depending on how many they may...

Went there with my BFF. She ordered two regular Martabaks. One with chocolate, peanuts & cheese and one with just cheese & cashews.

I ordered one Pandan Martabak with cheese and cashews.

This was the first time we gave this place a try, and we were both satisfied! It was DELICIOUS and ADDICTING!

We were glad we didn't just order one to be shared! LOL. Otherwise, we would have been regretting it! Yes!! It was that GOOOOOD!!

Compared to the martabaks in Indonesia, the martabak here was just perfect! Not too sweet, right amount of butter without being drenched in it that it was excessively greasy.

The price was a bit much.. BUT it was soooo worth it! We came all the way here from SFV. We would go back again soon for more!

We forgot to take the newly served Martabaks. So.. here are the pictures of the remaining few...

I love this place. I have no other words. They serve martabak manis, which is Indonesian style sweet pancakes with unique flavors (traditionally it's just chocolate, cheese and peanuts).

I went there during my recent trip to LA and got two pans. One with durian and one with toblerone and nutella. Both were super delicious. The durian is just heavenly, I have to other words to describe it (they use real durian fruit). And the toblerone and nutella was just a deadly combination. I ate a bit with my friend, gave a few pieces to my friend, then brought the rest back home. I put it in the refrigerator and indulged them over a week. It's now gone and I'm sad.

Next time I'm back in LA I'm bringing...
