5 Viral Culinary Delights in Bandung

1. Pasar Cihapit — From Heritage Flavors to Modern Eats

More than just a traditional market, Pasar Cihapit has become a rising culinary hub.

Stalls begin opening around 8 AM, offering a mix of old and new: grab your morning coffee at Los Tjihapit, sample artisan pastries from Bien, or enjoy classic Sundanese dishes at the legendary Warung Ibu Eha.

Its central location makes Pasar Cihapit a convenient starting point for a full day of food adventures around the city.

2. Seroja Bake — Local Ingredients, Global Flavor

Right across from Pasar Cihapit, Seroja Bake is a modern bakery known for creative pairings that blend European-style pastries with Indonesian ingredients.

Their standout Cassava Tart combines local root flavor with chocolate or key lime custard, while gluten-free options like Cirebon Tea Cake and Strawberry Cardamom Cheesecake offer something refreshingly different.

Seroja Bake is also perfect for brunch. Try their signature Focaccia Gulai Ayam or Scrambled Egg with Teri Oncom. Dishes that are as playful as they are delicious. For something bolder, go for the Young Goat Taco, made with brown rice tortilla, cucumber pickle, and cabe gendot salsa.

3. Roemah Haji Daging — From Farm to Feast

If you’re a meat lover, this is your spot. Located on Jalan Cihampelas, just minutes from Bandung Station, Roemah Haji Daging serves high-quality beef sourced from local farms.

Their menu ranges from premium steaks served with crispy watercress (jukut goreng) to hearty soups like Oxtail Soup and Beef Rib Soup. For group dining, the massive Tomahawk Steak is a crowd favorite.

Feeling adventurous? Try their signature Mie Teko. Noodles served in a metal mug with bone marrow broth, or grab a Beef-Filled Bun to take with you on the road.

4. Makmur Jaya Coffee Roasters — A New Kind of Bandung Souvenir

With a name that sparks curiosity, Makmur Jaya Coffee Roasters has quickly become a favorite among Bandung’s coffee crowd. More than just a café, it’s also a roastery offering premium beans and packaged coffee perfect for souvenirs.

With multiple branches in Lengkong, Surya Sumantri, Soka, and Sawunggaling, it’s easy to drop by anytime. Popular drinks include the Magic and Dirty Latte for milk coffee lovers, while the manual brew options highlight their collection of locally sourced beans.

Before heading home, grab a few packs of their coffee. Available as whole beans, drip bags, or ready-to-drink cans — perfect for reliving Bandung mornings wherever you go.

5. Ayam Sari Rasa — Spicy, Savory, Addictive

This place has gone viral for good reason. With outlets on Jalan Citarum and Jalan Anggrek, Ayam Sari Rasa serves grilled and fried chicken that’s as flavorful as it is fiery.

The grilled chicken comes smothered in peanut sauce and chopped bird’s-eye chili, while the fried version uses chili oil for that perfect kick. Prefer something lighter? Go for the Steamed Chicken. A healthier but equally tasty option.

Bonus Stop: Jalan Braga — The Iconic Evening Stroll

No Bandung trip is complete without a stop at Jalan Braga. Before catching your train or flight back, take a leisurely walk along this historic street lined with cafés, galleries, and old architecture. It’s the perfect place to unwind after a full day of exploring.
