Menunya lumayan banyak .. tp pesen 2 menu berbeda rasa salted egg rasanya terlalu manis dan kurang terasa telur asinnya .. untuk risol chicken mayo enak .. Harganya agak mahal, snack2 rata2 25.000 ke atas .. minuman jus juga 25 keatas dan gelas nya agak kecil jd yaa itungannya mahal, habis ngemil minumnya udh habis

Sayangnya sudah tutup. Padahal makanannya enak. Tempatnya cozy karena kecil, cuma agak panas dikit karena kadang ACnya dimatikan kalau sedang tidak ada pengunjung.

The cafe is amazing, full of warm chrismast ambience. The interior is beautiful and it has unique ornament. It has two floors, i choose to sit on the first floor with my friend. The food is incredible delicious. I order platter, hot lemon tea, and salted egg rice bowl, while my friends order milkshake, and ice lemon tea, and awal bermula signature dish. Our tummy is happy with the food. One suggestion, faster in serving the signature dish.

Hidden gem! (4,5 out of 5) A friend recommended Awal Bermula Cafe and Eatery. At first I did not have much expectation, but after my visit I can say that it is a perfect spot to hang-out with friends, work on your computer or simply enjoy a plate of snack and drink. Even though Awal Bermula is located on a busy street, across Pasar Blimbing, once you are inside, it is quiet. Their food and drink were okay (between 20-30K). It also has some seatings on the 2nd floor. One major turn-off is parking. Parking space is tiny, fit two cars and two/three motorcycles or six motorcycles. Take ride-hailing service will save you from headache.

Menu-menunya yang disajikan enak. Untuk harga, ya, sesuai sih, tapi emang enak. Tempatnya pun syahdu sekali, dengan diiringi musik jadul yang sesuai banget dengan suasananya. Meskipun lokasinya di pinggir jalan yang cukup ramai, di dalam trnyata cukup kedap juga.

Tertarik mampir karena hiasan natalnya yg meriah baik di area outdoor maupun indoor nya. Sayang pas masuk ternyata yg diputar bukan lagu natal, aduh jadi kurang gimana gitu. Gak cocok Untuk harga agak pricey ya, tapi memang menunya beragam gak basic kayak cafe2 biasa, dan dibuat dengan sangat baik. Rasanya enak semua, tp bukan yg spesial juga. Overall oke.
