Though I don’t really enjoy sweets, I indulge in them at least once every few months. If you remember, about two months ago, I visited a place known for its delicious mille crepes at cold n brew cafe. The mille crepes have the right amount of sweetness but it’s not really for someone who truly indulges and has a sweet tooth. While I was browsing the other day, I came across a place where they sell pastry, cakes and bakery at an aesthetic place called Chéri Patisserie & Brasserie. This place is for those sweet tooth lovers who enjoy yummy cakes that are sweet and absolutely irresistible. The flavors of the cakes will dance on your taste buds and each bite will feel like a journey into sugary paradise.

These past few days I’ve been in pain. It’s not like the pain I have ever experienced. It was the worst pain that sent me to the emergency room at 2 AM by myself and I ended up staying at the hospital. I bawled so much and even ran out of tears. It only got better yesterday and I told myself that after this, I am going to give myself a little treat. So, I ended up browsing for sweets and coffee places to check out and reward myself for enduring the excruciating pain.Voila, I found Chéri, which from its review and photos on google map looks heavenly and aesthetic. The place reminds me of a typical cafe featured in a romantic Korean drama.

While the location itself is located just behind the landmark of Yogyakarta and nestled among houses and commercial areas. Its architecture is quite striking and contemporary compared to the houses and buildings in the neighborhood. It is truly a contrast between traditionalism and avant-garde design.

To enter the space,you have to climb a few stairs and eventually be greeted by the staff who then help you to find a seat. This place is decorated with well-taken care of cacti and the ceiling that offers breathtaking views during golden hour creating a romantic cafe experience. They are also two-storey places with parts of the first floor looking as you can see below. Unfortunately since it’s pretty hot, I chose to sit indoors and lounge in the AC area. It feels so calming inside the place even though there were many people around.

When I was there, I found many youngsters who took pictures around the area. There are aesthetic spot such as the one you see on the right side. Below is the indoor spot that also looks pretty aesthetic from the stairs. Although during the afternoon, not a lot people there because it can be quite hot and also uncomfortable to sit.

Chéri as a space is an experience itself. It's design that's cozy and aesthetic will make you want to stay there longer. It's one of the most beautiful minimalist avant-grande cafe I have ever visited. They know well how to curate and place the objects that could support the whole mood of the space.

The place is not only selling yummy aesthetic cakes but also offering instagrammable and Pinterest worthy spots as I have mentioned above. In the place,I ended up ordering Bonfreddo which is a sweet iced coffee and Baileys Praline cake. There are more options but those were the ones that caught my attention the most.

I did not expect the cake would be extremely sweet. It was full of chocolate and sugar that I believe anyone who enjoys delightful cake would enjoy it more than I do. While they have beautiful tarts, I regretted not ordering it since it would make more sense if I order those than the sweet cake that is also paired with iced coffee. In the place, they are not only selling sweets but there are also meals that seem to be quite delicious. Unfortunately, I haven’t tried it but this is the place that I would love coming back with my friend or family.

As you can see, I was seated in a place where the golden hour was quite breathtaking. It produces a great picture with awesome natural lighting. This is the picture when I finished my coffee and cakes. I think the best time to visit the space is around 1 to 2 PM when the lighting is at its best. The great place about the place is also the marble table that truly beautify this aesthetic space.

While in the place, part of my stress and pain went away. I felt like all the pain I have experienced these past few days was really worth it now that I got to enjoy yummy cake and coffee again.

The place is also quite an inspiration since they designed the place beautifully, I became a lot more inspired and somehow, it resonates with the idea that our living space speaks more than we can comprehend. Where we live and frequented can shape our experiences and influence our lives.

Just like how it is, inside Chéri, the place is so well curated that it could evoke particular moods, emotions, and as well as becoming an inspirational space. See you in my next roaming for roast adventure!
