Best Parfait in Johor Bahru (JB)

Be it word of mouths, online reviews and Instagram feeds, J.C Café is surely cornering the headlines with monstrous milkshakes. While the eatery is tailored to hipster’s demand, with a cozy garden close to the doorsteps and an interior embellished with plush sofas, white-washed walls, charming knick-knacks and chic lightings. Adding charm to the booming dessert scene is their parfaits. The red velvet parfait is visually satisfying with chunks of berries, kiwis, a slice of spongy red velvet cake, cream, corn flakes and lashes of chocolate syrups wedged into a stemmed glass. And for weight watchers, their yogurt rendition comes with a rugged layer of cereal bits and thump of mixed berries.

It’s a heavenly marriage of rich chocolate, chunk of strawberries and chocolate garnish. 

By aesthetic scale, this parfait is a masterpiece.

The chewiness from the pudding, crunch from the golden flakes and creaminess from the yogurt offers a mouthful that bursts with texture and flavour. Delve down the revered dessert in a charming and spacious backdrop, with a heavenly aroma of richly brewed coffee permeating throughout the space.
