Looking for a great corn flake soft serve and fat soft baked cookies in Jakarta? Gotham Treats might be the place to visit for you. Sharing the space with its sister company, Lewis & Carroll Tea, Gotham Treats is a small store that sells a variety of New York inspired treats. If you’re familiar with Momofuku Milk Bar, Levain Bakery and Magnolia Bakery that are respectively well-known for their cereal milk soft serve, thick, crunchy yet gooey cookies and banana pudding, looking at the dessert selections at Gotham treats will definitely remind you of those delicious desserts. And apparently, those are actually the inspirations behind Gotham Treats.

Greysuitcase Jakarta Cafe Series: Gotham Treats, Jakarta Selatan, Indonesia.

From 10 different cookie flavors that they have available, I tried the The Chelsea (miso & white chocolate) and The Lower East Side (mini cookie with dark chocolate and sea salt). First off, the texture was great. The cookies were soft and chunky and the size of the mini cookies is perfect for a bite size or for snacking. Sweetness level was also good for me. It’s sweet, but not overwhelmingly sweet like the typical American cookies.

For The Chelsea, it’s good but I tasted the white chocolate more than the miso. Honestly thought there would be more of the miso saltiness to it, but turned out the white chocolate is a stronger flavor on this one. If you’re a fan of white chocolate, you’ll probably going to enjoy this flavor.

For The Lower East Side, I really like them. The play between salty and sweet flavors really came through on this one. And yes, this might be a more basic flavor, but I think it’s really good.

On top of their signature soft cookies, Gotham Treats also sells a variety of soft serve ice cream, custard pudding, cakes, cereal milk, cheesecake and tiramisu that are named after different places in New York.

The Dumbo Cereal Milk was just okay for me. It’s not too sweet, but the overall flavors was a little too milky for me (I personally like the ones with a stronger cereal flavor more). It was good, but I’ve had better in Jakarta.

The Dumbo was THE BOMB. It is currently on the top of my list of the best corn flake soft serve I’ve ever had. If you’ve had Milk Bar’s cereal milk soft serve, The Dumbo will reminded you of that, but minus the extra sweet factor (most American desserts are way too sweet for me). It has the right soft serve texture and the right amount of sweetness which make eating this ice cream much more enjoyable for me. If you like cereal milk flavored ice cream, I totally recommend for you to try The Dumbo.
