Discover Tizi Cake Shop and Restaurant in Bandung

Tucked away from the bustle of Jalan Dago (officially named Jalan Ir. H. Djuanda), Tizi is a longtime Bandung favorite that combines a homey garden setting with Western comfort food and German specialties. Whether you're planning a hearty meal or a relaxed afternoon tea, there’s plenty to discover on its menu. Here’s what to eat at Tizi Cake Shop and Restaurant and how to find it in Bandung.

Tizi began as a home bakery in 1967, selling nutritious bread. Its name reflects that origin: “Ti” comes from roTI (bread in Indonesian), while “Zi” comes from bergiZI (the Indonesian word for nutritious). In 1974, the business expanded into a restaurant and cake shop at Jalan Kidang Pananjung No. 3 in Dago, Bandung.

Open daily from eleven in the morning until ten at night, Tizi is housed in an old house with a beautiful garden in the middle. Dining tables are arranged along the corridors surrounding the garden and inside the main house. You can even find a piano standing in one corner. All in all, Tizi exudes comfy, homey vibes.

Dining tables facing the garden at Tizi Restaurant create a comfy, homey vibe.

What to Eat at Tizi Cake Shop & Restaurant?

Tizi offers a variety of steak dishes on its main course menu. The main protein options include beef, dory fish, and chicken. You can choose from sirloin steak, tenderloin steak, steak burger, Bratwurst (German sausage), and my all-time favorite, Wiener Schnitzel. If you crave fish, try the Fish Fillet Tarragon. For those who prefer chicken, there are Oven-Baked Chicken and Oriental Grilled Chicken. One dish that stands out on the menu is Tongue with Mushroom Sauce. Every dish comes with cooked vegetables and your choice of French fries or mashed potatoes. Both are yummy :)

In addition to steaks, there are plenty of other dishes to choose from, including Schaschlik, soups, salads, omelets, pizzas, and spaghetti. Desserts aren't limited to the items listed on the menu, such as pancakes and Poffertjes. You can also order delicious cakes from the cake shop inside the main building!

With so many dishes to choose from, which ones are Tizi's specialties? My favorite is the Wiener Schnitzel, made with thinly sliced beef that's breaded and fried. Tizi serves it with a pat of garlic butter on top, mashed potatoes that look like noodles (or French fries, if you prefer), and a serving of cooked vegetables.

The 4 Seasons Pizza is delicious, too. However, Tizi's signature German dish is Schaschlik: marinated and grilled onions, green peppers, and beef cutlets threaded onto a skewer.

And if you still have room for dessert, don't miss the Poffertjes! This Dutch treat is made with yeast and buckwheat flour and shaped like small, puffy balls.

Of course, pancakes and poffertjes aren't the only desserts available at Tizi. You can find plenty of delicious sweet treats at the Tizi cake shop, including eclairs, Apfelstrudel, cheesecakes, and more. They're perfect for tea time with friends or family.

To go along with those sweet treats, what kind of drinks do you like? Tea, coffee, yogurt, or milkshakes? They are all available at Tizi. If you fancy some tea, try a pot of tea, either plain, with lemon, or with milk. This tea is exceptionally bitter. Thankfully, they provide sugar cubes on the side :)

How to Go to Tizi Cake Shop and Restaurant

Tizi Cake Shop and Restaurant is located at Jalan Kidang Pananjung No. 3, a side street off Jalan Dago (officially named Jalan Ir. H. Djuanda). After the intersection of Jalan Siliwangi and Jalan Ir. H. Djuanda, Tizi is just 280 meters ahead on the left.

The restaurant has a spacious parking lot. But you don’t need to bring a car; it’s easy to get there using ride-hailing services such as Gojek and Grab, or by taking a Bluebird taxi. When you’re ready to return to your hotel, you can book another ride.

Several Angkot (Angkutan Kota, or small public minivans) terminate at Terminal Dago (Dago bus station). You can get off near Jalan Kidang Pananjung and walk about 200 meters to reach Tizi. However, each Angkot is operated by an independent driver, without a fixed schedule. Although you can ask the driver to stop wherever you need to get off, communication can be a challenge. Plus, fewer Angkot operate at night.

Tizi Cake Shop and Restaurant is just one of the many places to enjoy good food in Bandung, whether you're looking for a hearty meal or a cozy spot to relax. If you'd like to explore more dining options around the city, discover more places to eat in Bandung here.
