Gather Inc Bistro & Bakery Surabaya (Review)

Gather Inc has a pretty big place, and it’s well furnished, well designed, I am honestly impressed. They have indoor and outdoor space, the place have many glass wall to let the sunlight strikes in,  they have a cute spot for people to take pictures, but anywhere in the cafe is a good spot to take pictures actually. And they have decorated their place with nice Christmas ornaments too!

In total, I’m pretty sure Gather Inc could gather a hundred people (or less), the atmosphere in here is really chill, their modern classy rustic interior, the green grass view, and also those calming Christmas songs made me feel cozy to stay longer. But during my visit, I’ve seen families, couples, girls, guys, or just people having their lunch meeting in here, and that pretty much sums up about how this place attracts any type of consumers category.

Looking at their menu, Gather Inc still doesn’t have that many choice of food to offer, they have only less than 20 food menu, and I didn’t see anything interesting that stood out among those list. The name of the foods is pretty catchy though, but I knew exactly what they really are, haha.. The price is on the average side, 36k-69k for the foods, and 12k-52k for the beverages. I’ve visited there two times, let me show you what I ordered on both trip.

On my second visit, I went there with a friend and this time I ordered Sate Lilit, but unfortunately they ran out of it 🙁 So after discussing for awhile, I ordered this Spaghetti Setan. It was an Aglio Olio, with chopped chilli, smoked beef and mushroom. When I tried it, geez it was soooo salty! I still tried to eat it by asking for my friend’s marinara sauce, and I also asked the waiter to bring me some sauce. But then I just couldn’t continue, it was way too salty for me, seriously. It was all over the place, the spaghetti was salty, and the veggies aside was even more saltier. I asked the waiter about it, and they offered to give me the new one, I agreed.

Then they brought me the new one, with less chopped chilli, but it was also less salty, even though to me it was still salty, and I don’t think they changed the veggies, because it was still very salty, I don’t even understand what were they thinking when they made it. I ended up didn’t finish the dish, I sure had too much sodium intake for that day.
